Biddley's First Steps

Today Eli took his first steps. Jeff had already gone to church and Eli was playing in the living room with his toys while I folded laundry. I looked up and he was trying to reach for his car that had tipped over. He had things in both hands and I think was confused as to how he was going to grab the car and hold on to his bell and his moracca. He was trying to stand when I noticed that his right leg was stuck, but he kept on trying to stand anyway and then swung the right leg around after he stood up. This was the first time he had ever stood with all his weight on one leg. Then he looked at the car and took a step, then took another. I couldn't believe it. So I set up the camera and moved him to the other side of the room. He did it again and that is what you will get to see. These are his next few steps....maybe steps 3, 4, and 5....he he he....

Eli also put on quite the show at church this morning, taking a few steps for Michelle (our Doula at Eli's birth)


Helping Dada load the car for our camping trip over Memorial. We leave on Wednesday for Sumpter, Oregon, and come back on Monday or Tuesday. We did a test run to see if everything fit, including our Jogger. We got everything in just fine and even have some elbow room.

This was so cool...last night he started scooping his food up with the spoon and putting it in his mouth. He has had his spoon for some time now, but has only used it for chewing on. I think he has been watching Jeff and I and decided to give it a try himself. These pictures are one right after the other to show how cool his spoon skills are!!!
