Rough-housing!




Eli has been sitting pretty well for a couple of weeks now. This is immensely more entertaining for him that lying flat on his back because he can reach toys and have a look around. Where we have him set up on a blanket in the living room, I can wave from the sink and laundry, which is useful for running around and trying to get some things clean. However, no sooner than he mastered sitting, he has deciding that trying to crawl and climb is now the goal. He periodically gets stuck in some position he doesn't like and can't get out of, and then calls whoever will listen over to prop him back up again. But this is part of the trap -- as soon as you get close enough to help him sit up, he lunges to climb you, and then you are committed to the game. Wade's hair is short enough that he doesn't mind being climbed from any orientation, but I have to keep my head out of reach.
