Amazing

It amazes me how fast Tyler grows.
He now can crawl and sit up on his own.
Just today he grabbed a hold of the couch while sitting on the floor,
Trying to pull himself to stand up.

It won’t be long now.
He will start walking soon,
And let the race begin.

I always play music in front of him.
He always shakes his hands from excitement,
Whenever he sees me pick up my guitar.
He seems to like it very much.

He stares at my hands and the guitar as I strike the strings.
The other day, I gave him my guitar pick,
and since babies put everything in their mouths,
I try to be on guard, making sure he won’t stick it in his,
To my surprise, he looked at me,
Reached out and tried to strum the strings with the pick.

Babies are smart.
