Well, Elias almost really has a tooth now.  He’s been getting both his front 2 teeth poking through, but his front left is getting to be apparent now.  He’s also climbing a lot more things lately.  He can pull himself up onto his knees very well and has actually put 2 feet on the floor…

Well, tons of pictures this week.  What’s going on with us?  Well, we got Elias a “cage”.  It’s more to be a temporary childproofing technique, but he really seems to like it.  We put him in it with all his toys and it keeps him out of trouble, but it also keeps the pets away…

Elias the puddle pirate (waits to see how many people might get that…)?  There’s a story to this, but it’s long and involves internet jokes so just trust me it’s as funny as Elias is cute.  This week’s been fun though.  Elias licked everything in sight at Ikea last weekend while having a great time. …

Wow, time flies when you’re changing diapers.  Elias turned 7 months on Thursday.  He’s really starting to get to the point where he’s fun now.  Or I should say where the fun times way outweigh the difficult times.  He can sit up on his own, and does all the time now.  He’s still scooting, but…

Moving you ask?  Well, Nikki and I have been playing with other ideas for the layout of our house.  We’ve been in the biggest bedroom upstairs, but that leaves Elias’ room on the way to ours.  The problem there is he has no real door to his room, so it’s noisy and bright.  That means…

too tired to write.

Well Elias is still not yet crawling.  He’s a faster scooter though.  And he’s been talking up a storm lately as well.  He’s also eating more and more real food.  Unfortunately we were supposed to go to Block Island last weekend, and then again this weekend but it seems the weather doesn’t want us to…

Elias is 6 months old already, can you believe it?  It’s crazy it’s gone by this fast honestly.  He’s getting big.  He’s 90% in height, and normal (50%) in head size and weight.  He’s still scooting around the house, but he’s getting much better/faster at it.  He’ll “chase”/follow Moseley around now and grab onto his…

Well Elias is almost crawling at this point. He’s up onto his hands and legs, and can move, but not both at the same time. He’ll scoot from one end of his blanket to the other in less than a minute and loves following Mo from one side to the other. He’s also eating more…

Elias keeps growing and growing!  He’s closer to crawling, and has this scooting thing down pretty well at this point.  He’s also starting to push himself up onto all 4s a lot more now.  He and Mo are getting to be good friends.  Well, maybe I should say Elias LOVES watching/touching Mo, and Mo puts…

Well Elias can officially move himself around now.  Not far (yet) but he can scoot on his belly across his blanket on the floor.  He’s now chasing down the toys he’s most interested in including Moseley!  Mo has been very good with Elias.  The only issue so far is he loves to lick Elias including…

Elias is getting bigger and more coordinated by the minute it seems.  He’s not crawling, but we fear that’s around the corner.  He can maneuver himself around the floor pulling himself along with his arms if he’s on a blanket, and he can continually roll himself over to get to things.  It’s fun to watch,…

We had an awesome day on Sunday.  Elias got to go for his first boat ride and ended up going for 2 boat rides!  We went to the Newport Folk fest.  The first ride was Grandpa Jake’s dinghy out to the second boat, Pop pop’s Whisper.  Dad and I went for a sail on sluff…
