Teeth and teetering

I thought I would just post a quick note to say that Elliott now has both top two molars, and the bottom ones look ready to poke through any day. Fortunately he hasn't been too upset about it -- just drooling more and sticking his hands in his mouth, which is a little annoying when he happens to be nursing at the time. He thinks the homeopathic teething tablets are a real treat and gets excited when he see the bottle. Did I already write that? Who can keep track any more?

The other fun thing is that Elliott has gotten more interested in walking. Today I was holding his hands and it felt totally different -- instead of my holding his weight, he was really propelling himself and just using me for balance. So then I walked him with one hand and he did fine. After that he stood still in place for longer than he has in the past and seemed pretty pleased with himself. This was right after music class in the late afternoon on a day when we'd jogged in the morning with my friend Karey and baby Henry and taken a three-hour nap in the early afternoon.
