Where's the baby handbook?

Ben is 7 months old! He is growing way too fast and is doing way too much. Someone forgot to give him the handbook on what babies are supposed to do because he is all mixed up.
As you may remember, he started crawling at just 5 1/2 months old! He is already sitting up from the crawling position! And he, just the other day, began standing up at the fire place. A baby his age is supposed to be mastering the art of sitting up not roaming the house and trying to climb the stairs! Apparently he didn't get the handbook that explains this. The big problem with this is that he hasn't completely figured out the whole sitting up thing. So.... When he crawls over to the hard wood floor and sits up he proceeds to fall back and bang his head. I am literally following him around with a pillow! I am pooped! Chasing around a baby is tough work. Fun though! Not to mention, he is adorable, maybe I have mentioned that in the past... Yesterday I even tried to use a laundry basket to barricade him in the living room for a while. It worked for less then a day, for this afternoon he figured out how to move the basket and go around it!

I've got my hands full with this guy for sure! He keeps me on my toes. I am so curious to see what the future brings with this kid's gross motor skills!!! I would prefer he doesn't rush to the future though...
