Once Blaine learns how to crawl, he gets into everything.

He crawls through Cooper’s homework, over his construction paper crafts, through his soccer games, through the Legos. He crawls into the kitchen, the bathrooms, up the stairs, and once, makes it out to the garage before anyone finds him.

A mobile Blaine is twice the handful a stationary Blaine is.

It gets to the point that their parents have to put up child-safety gates, lock the cupboards, and chase him around when he gets going.

Cooper’s the one who figures out how to stop Blaine from crawling away. He gets Blaine’s favorite stuffed animal (the rabbit Cooper got him when he was born), and keeps it next to him when he’s working on homework, sprawled out on the floor.

It turns out Blaine is so fascinated with the rabbit (and his older brother) that he’s content to sit at Cooper’s side, tugging on the bunny’s ears and chewing them, watching Cooper intently. He eventually falls asleep with his head on Cooper’s thigh, drooling over the bunny’s ears.

Cooper smiles, ruffles Blaine’s curls, and goes back to his homework.

The house is a lot less hectic when he doesn’t have to chase Blaine down every five minutes.

my heart can’t take the cute
