Mischief Ahead

Zach is a VERY big baby.  He may look like he's old enough to be crawling and pulling to a stand but he's only 6 1/2 months old.  He's in the 92% for height, 75% for weight.  At his six month appt. we were given a handout of all the things he should start doing. 

"Your baby should soon roll over, scoot around, sit with some support, and stand with you supporting his chest."  

Rolling over was a LONG time ago and he has been crawling.  But now the boy is pulling himself up and standing all by himself!  He's not suppose to be doing this until he's 9 months, let alone 6 months.  I have a theory...

MISCHIEF...thats what it means!  First off I will say that my two easiest babies have been Tyler and Zachary.  Tyler has been the most mischief so far.  I think it's the quiet ones who are most likely to exhibit this quality.  Zach is on his way, already getting into the dishwasher, trying so hard to get his hands on any bit of paper he can (so he can chew it), and always getting himself into precarious places.  Don't get me wrong, I am NOT complaining at all,  I would take mischief over incessant crying and any day of the week.  I'm just stating my theory and and prediction that Zach is going to be mischief.  : )

I don't know if my mom ever said, I hope you get a kid just like you.  Regardless, if my theory proves correct, and Zach keeps advancing at this rate, I think I'll be in for it.  You see one of my nicknames when i was very young was "Miss Mischief."  I was walking by the time I was 8 months old.  I was notorious for quietly disappearing and getting into things.  So my mom put bells on my shoes.  I was not alone though, I did have a partner in crime.  "Mr. Mischief," my brother Tom.  To give you some comparison there were 5 kids and we were the only ones who bore this name.
