Well, he's been developing quite a bit since the last post.

He:

1. now understands that you talk into the phone (not just push the buttons and stick it into your mouth);
2. has discovered his hands and feet, never letting go of the latter which makes potty time a special challenge;
3. began eating "solids" - a pear as shown in the above photo;
4. is frequently standing up and has even begun putting one foot in front of the other (causing frequent running nightmares for mom); and,
5. tomorrow gets on his first intercontinental flight (keep your fingers crossed for us.

All in all things going well. Until the next time...
