New STuff
We were all at Fry’s tonight for Shin and I was holding Elijah and there was another big dad down the row who had another similar age boy on his shoulder. Elijah got all excited and started talking to him and the boy looked back at Elijah and smiled and waved! Then Elijah waved back. That socializing was totally initiated by him! I’m convinced I need to be more intentional about directing his social life.
We came home and noticed that while Shin and I were talking Elijah was walking and spinning himself around in circles! That’s a new balancing act for him. Then I stood up on a chair to bring down the meds in the highest cabinet and he crawled right up the same chair behind me and was standing up inches from the edge. Omg. That was new and dangerous.
Elijah’s First Steps
Elijah took his first 2 steps at his Great Grandmother’s house (Shin’s maternal grandmother) on New Years Day when we went to “Juhl” or bow to the grandparents. Actually Elijahs great grandmother had two porcelain bells and she gave him one and rang the other over his head. He reached for it and took his first steps. It was amazing.
