Mobility
Mobility. Sweet, blessed mobility.
Elliot loves it, loves to walk, to move freely, to (sort of) run. Crawling was yesterday. Today–well, today Elliot moves about as man was intended: on two legs.
And so also do his parents. Quickly, too, since the boy is finding new areas to explore, new shelves he couldn’t see before, new nooks [...]

Odds ‘n’ Ends: 12.2.08
Another time-deprived, buckshot-style this ‘n’ that…
Elliot is walking all over the place now. He’d been sort of partially walking since about 9 1/2 months, but he got really mobile about a week before his 10-month mark. Since then he’s just gone bonkers. He’s learned to hold stuff in both hands while he walks, and he’s [...]

Odds ‘n’ Ends: 10.5.08
Some popcorn thoughts ‘n’ happenings:
Elliot is saying “Da-da” now. Well, pretty much; he’s still working on his pronunciation. But he totally knows who Da-da is. Heck yes. Tania will have me on speaker phone and Elliot will laugh and usually say “Da-da” somewhere during the beginning of the call. It’s awesome! (He’d already been [...]

Breakthrough: The First Tooth
Elliot’s first little tooth broke through yesterday, and the second is close behind. Both are on the bottom, in the middle.
We’ll try to get a photo, but it ain’t gonna be easy.
