First Steps!

B and I have been fairly lucky thus far in being able to observe milestones together. We both witnessed his first real attempts at crawling and pulling himself up, we were there (along with my dad) when he said his first word (banana!) and today we both saw him take his first steps!

Just to clarify, they weren't very firm steps. He went from holding onto the couch over to me, a distance of about 2.5-3 feet, but B and I both agree that they were actual steps, even if E did rather ingloriously fall into my arms at the end.

And... here he is after having gleefully eaten his share of chocolate-and-raspberry birthday cake. I haven't been taking many photos lately - it's been warm, but gray and dismal here, and sometimes quite humid. The sun is very intermittent, despite it being August. Not very inspiring picture-taking weather, really.

Don't think it's happened yet! We have finally finished unpacking most of the larger boxes here. We ought to have a mini-family reunion in London someday :)
