What The What, Baby?!
In the last week, this tiny (or not so tiny) boy has decided that sitting and crawling is boring. I mean, being able to move is great because he can get all the things he's not supposed to have but there's got to be more, right? So after watching his friend Andrea at "school", Elijah has figured out how to pull himself up to standing. That's right, my not-quite- 7 month old is standing up. Seriously, Baby, you could have waited longer, we would have been okay with that. We are just getting used to picking stuff off the floor that we don't want you to get. Now you have access to the coffee table, chairs, shelves, your favorite foot rests and other things I have not even thought of yet. Where are we supposed to put things? I am guessing the only truly secure place is on top of the fridge, because even I can't reach that. And that is the true definition of baby-proofing.

T minus 5, 4, 3...
Our little baby boy is getting so big that you probably won't recognize him. He has two little teeth on the bottom that are quite sharp when he bites down on your finger. It reminds me of that video with the kid who sticks his finger in his brother's mouth and then starts yelling because it hurts. Yeah, this one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OBlgSz8sSM
He chats up a storm and can sit by himself for a pretty long time (like 20 minutes). But as the video below reveals, he will not be contained for long. He's a quick little guy, able to grab my glass on the table before I've even finished sitting down with him. He is also like a vaccuum cleaner (though apparently better than ours) that finds every little speck of everything that is left on the floor. This led to our decision to purchase a "play yard" or as we fondly refer to it the "baby cage". We talked about the gates, but we needed so many of them to keep him out of things like the cat food and the cat litter that we decided this was the best and cheapest option.
As I mentioned before about "school", it seems he has learned this trick from his friend Andrea, who is about 6 weeks older than he is. But once he saw her doing it, he's like "so that's how you do it, I can do that".
