We're enjoying a bit of a thaw around here this weekend so we decided to take advantage of the break in the weekly (or thereabouts, since around mid-December) snowstorms to take a walk. Outside! All three of us! We went to one of my local mainstays in warmer weather, Dorchester's own Pope John Paul Park along the Neponset River Reservation, but the trail was still a bit slippery, so we took a side street to a nearby playground where Elias enjoyed some highly supervised swinging:
Sliding:
And seesawing:
I don't know about you, but I'm ready for spring.
In other news, Elias pushed himself from his tummy into a seated position all by himself for the first time this morning:
I thought that must be what he'd been working on over the past week or so as he got himself into downward facing dog over and over again but then didn't seem to know what to do next. This is exciting stuff, of course, but now that he can move from all fours onto his bottom, he seems even less interested in crawling...forward, at least. Maybe he'll be a scooter instead (if you've never seen a baby do the butt scoot, check out a few returns from these search results on YouTube...wild, huh?).
