The world is my lobster
Be careful what you wish for parentals... this baby is no longer a put-him-down-and-know-he'll-stay-there kind of guy...
I have officially graduated from the imaginary starting blocks I've been rocking on for the past two months and learned how to put one knee in front of the other. Who knew there were so many nooks, crannies and apparent certain death traps (if the mumster is to be believed) on my very doorstep.
As I would imagine is often the case with these things (although how much can I know... I have little basis for comparison) it was pure, unadulterated shame which finally gave me the impetus I needed to get my hand-knee-bum-in-the-air co-ordination on track.
It was just getting embarrassing. While my contemporaries (specifically Katie Brown, Benjy S, Toby G and Jacob) were getting from A to B and other associated members of the alphabet song, I was still lying flat on my tummy, kicking like a mule - ridiculously expecting that this was going to be enough to propel me across the room like the proverbial projectile vomit.
So there I was, helplessly watching them see something they liked the look of and simply going to get it... all the while trying to hold in their dribbling sniggers. Needless to say I got left with the toy equivalents of coffee creams... no fun as you can imagine.
There's nothing like a slice of humiliation (and the thought that Martha may go for a guy on the move rather than a fella whose athletic ability is more on par with a dollop of mashed potato) to get you going... so that's what I've done... and in the slightly modified words of Queen, Don't even think of Stopping Me Now.
