Do you speak monkey?

How do you explain to a seven month old that, no matter how loud he screeches, he will not be able to walk on his own?

Logan is determined, absolutely, positively, going to walk. No, he can not crawl. No, he can not sit up on his own unless aided by a loving mother/father/grandparent. But somehow, magically, he believes he can will himself from a prone position to a standing position by the sheer power of his scream. If I wasn't laughing so hard, I might just scream with him.

My very determined little boy is convinced he can get this right. And, I just may be starting to believe him. After all, who says you have to crawl first? And who made the rule up that you had to spend hours upon hours just lying on your stomach when all the cool stuff is way up there on the coffee table? Probably the same people who said that it wasn't possible for a three week old to roll over, and yet my stubborn little monkey proved that theory wrong in a screeching rage when I tried dutifully to promote the "tummy time" activities.

I could watch this all day.
