We appear to be turning a milestone corner with every day now.  In the last few weeks Eli has shown off his ability to sit upright, crawl (or something resembling a crawl), scream, hold his own bottle, and today he stood for the camera (with a little help). As for parenting, we feel like we’ve been in a sweet spot for two months, right after sleeping through the night, and right before he turns fully mobile and begins terrorizing everything in his path.  Oh, and one other big development, this boy has developed from his father’s chicken legs to a pair of meaty thighs.  You can thank your mom for that someday, Eli.  She’s excited to teach you how to use those in the pool this summer.

Video of his new tricks (& thighs) below:
