Cap On.

If you are wondering why I'm not overloading you with Eli photos, there is a reason. Eli has learned to stack, to put a shape in a hole, to put a lid on something. And that transfers to my camera lens cap:

Sort of hard to get a photo when the kid just keeps putting my lens cap back on! Also, it's hard to have Eli cooperate when he's hungry. Here he is signing "eat". This happens often:

And still no full-on walking but we are sure making "steps" in that direction. He can now stand by himself for a fairly long time IF he wants to (if he doesn't, well, he will make his legs like jello and refuse to stand). He also only stands if he is near something he can grab onto... furniture, person, walker. Yesterday Eli took his first two normal looking steps to his beloved walker. It was special. Now we try to play that game of having him stand and putting his walker just out of reach. Sometimes we get a step, sometimes a cry, sometimes a crawl. Our doctor said she wouldn't really worry about him not walking until he was 18 months. Three months = plenty of time!

Here he is with said walker and signing "more" which I believe was him wanting me to clap and say "good job" more. Apparently one can never have too much encouragement.
