10 months and 30 days old

elijah took his first step. he's been trying to stand up straight without hanging on to anything. then he'll fall on his butt. on friday 11.3.06 between 5-6pm, he stood up. i opened my arms and said, "come to mommy." he took one tentative step with his right foot, then tumbled onto my lap. that counts, right?

the other day luci took lij's bath again. i was in the nursery undressing lij, when luci jumped into his tub. i ran into the bathroom to make sure she had actually taken her clothes off before getting in. lij came storming out of the nursery, crawling rapidly right up to the tub, ordering her out of his domain in his baby way. "huh? huh?" he vocalized.

i can't believe it's almost Christmas!
