Developmental update: 1 week shy of 8 months

Motor: very fast army crawling everywhere in the house, also starting to rock back and forth on hands and knees, which is usually the precursor to crawling on hands and knees. Also holds his sippy cup with both hands and has mastered the art of drinking water from it.

Language: at a party on Saturday, Eli was squealing with delight over Mago, a big black dog. Daniel said to him "Eli, that's a doggie. Can you say doggie?" to which Eli replied "oggie," which, incidentally, was his mother's first word as well.

Teeth: none, just tons of drool and chewing. He's been working on those teeth for about 5 months now, they had better be amazing when they show up.

Health: all better, with the exception of a lingering runny nose which I fear will be with us for the next 2 years.

Sleep: who needs it?
