29. Adventures in Standing (and pulling up)
here's mischa's favorite new trick -- pulling himself up to standing position. These first few photos are of the first time he ever did it -- we didnt even realize he was doing it -- had just turned our heads and suddenly there he was, leaning up against a moving box, investigating its contents, doing squats and so proud of himself:
(excuse the mess - we were in the middle of moving!)
So as many of you know, we sold our house in the Highlands neighborhood. In 2 days! we give part of the credit for that to ourselves, for really doing a good job cute-ifying the place, and part to our awesome realtor, Jennifer Allan (if anyone needs a great realtor in denver i'd be happy to tell you all about her). We finally made it through to the closing (after several somewhat stressful delays), & came out on the other side, in one piece and ready for our fresh start. while we keep our eyes out for the perfect house & try to save up money so we can actually afford it, we're now renting a cute but small little 1-bedroom apartment in West Wash Park -- a ground floor flat in an old Victorian house from 1890. Its pretty charming but has also been an adventure (from the neighbor pounding on our door at 3am on our second night there, because apparently Mischa had woken them up; to the outside door lock breaking a couple days later, leaving Shane & Mischa stuck outside the house w/ no diapers, no food, no nuthin', unable to get inside (and eventually having to climb through a window); to discovering that it was raining INSIDE the back of the house, all over our printer, shredder, & record player, during the crazy thunderstorms & flash floods on Friday).
But we're hopeful things will start calming down now. Between me, shane, all our records, and the rapidly-growing 8-month-old Mischa, you can imagine its pretty cozy squeezing into about 500 square feet. So I guess mischa has decided to create more space by keeping himself in a vertical position whenever humanly possible. Watch him practice:
