My kid is better than your kid

Oh yeah, I said it. My kid is better than your kid is. Sorry. That's just the way it's gotta be. My kid will always be cuter, smarter, faster, stronger, more advanced in every way. I don't know how it works out like that, but it does. Really.

Bug started walking about a week and a half ago. He's only 9 1/2 months old. Well....technically, he isn't really "walking" yet. But, he can take about 3 steps on his own. He thinks he is pretty hot stuff, too. Sometimes, when he pulls himself up to standing next to me, he will let go and just stand on his own for a little while. And he ALWAYS looks up at me like he just invented fire.

So, in one week, my sister-in-law is coming to town with her kiddos. Her youngest is 17 hours older than Bug. He isn't quite crawling yet. My hubby and I have been trying to get Bug to walk all on his own by the time they get here. Ya know, for the bragging rights!? (I'm blaming it all on my hubby and sibling rivalry.)

I know, I know. I should be smitten down for being so horrible. I know, I know. Kids all develop at different rates, and my next kid probably won't walk until 18 months, just to teach me some humility. But, dang it all! I'm sure my next kids will still be better than yours!!!

But what you don't realize is all the HEADACHE that a walking baby causes! All 3 of my kids crawled at 10 months and walked at 15 months. I LOVED having those extra months of lesser mobility :)

You only have one! Just wait until you get more. You get stressed and frazzled that you begin to think that everyone else has better kids than yours. Ha ha! Parenthood gets so topsy turvey sometimes!

Oh yeah, I already have to deal with Bug getting into everything. I don't think him walking will change it all too much! :D
