a little closer to upright

Let's take a break from the spit-up factory, shall we? It's been a busy couple of weeks for Elias, developmentally. Maybe that's why his naps had all but disappeared for awhile there...The development seems to be concentrated in his ability to hold his head pretty steady and sit up pretty well, supported of course. He's spending more time on his tummy, in his Bumbo baby sitter (the tray I bought seems to help him grab on to various toys and things and stick them in his mouth...


...and this past weekend we even introduced the high chair.


Now he can sit with us at the table while we eat and we can use the bouncy seat for other hands-free activities.


I'm also feeling more and more comfortable getting out with him, I think partly because I'm downright stir-crazy, partly because I know the pleasant days of a New England fall are numbered, and partly because the spit-up has been on the decline. Nothing like the likelihood of projectile vomiting to keep you from getting out and about. We went to an outlet mall and the park last weekend and will try for some apple-picking this weekend.
