I just got all teary-eyed thinking how my little boy is growing up. He's officially crawling, eek! Minus the shrieking he just discovered he can do, he is a delightful baby

Time passes so much more quickly in human development than it does on the internet. Here on the internet, it doesn't seem like it was too long ago I was reading about the early stages of your pregnancy, and look at where we are now...
Its also kind of weird how the three dimensional greatness of life is turned into two dimensions on the internet. On Facebook, two people I know have delivered babies in the last 24-48 hours, which of course gets many "likes". But really, a funny cat picture can get many "likes". Trying to talk about how great life is on the internet is often a failing proposition.
"Who lays their baby on his back on the bathroom floor while they pee?"
Well, I never did that, but in my babysitting days, when I had to pee, I would usually find the biggest open, carpeted space of floor and lay the baby in the middle of it. They couldn't crawl yet, so they just kind of waggled around there for a minute. It always seemed like probably the wrong thing to do, but those people had houses with the crib three floors and a mile of hallway away from where we were. So weird how being a girl made people assume I had any idea what I was supposed to do with babies.
I always liked the look of a baby in the middle of the floor, though. Like, "oh, THAT'S where I put that thing!"
