"Dad thinks I'm RAD!"


'I think this is for you, mama...' No, I didn't do laundry today, I don't think. We did, however, prepare our environment for a mobile baby... namely Eli. He pulled up on the rails of his crib today, and with much pride, squealed in joy. One of the greatest things to watch is Eli's excitement in what he accomplishes. Eli really shows his reactions to what he can and cannot do. Lately, he is showing much frustration because he cannot crawl-- and he so wants to. He will push up on his arms, then face plant. Next, he will get on his knees, but not use his arms. In his sleep, however, we see him making all the motions work together. It is that pasting of consciousness that is difficult-- I think we all have this issue sometimes! Either way, we love this guy and are filled with pride for his appetite for continuance forward. He aspires-- he aspires... and that is the most amazing scene to witness. I'd like to think Alexander and I have something to do with his eager nature, but when it boils down it-- it is all him. We are the luckiest. And, yes, his dad thinks he is rad. We both do.



Cheers!
