Day 1.252: Baby: stepping out

When my sister and family were due to arrive in early August, I predicted that E5N1 would be walking - if not during their visit - at least by the end of my parents' visit. A couple of times during their stay he took several steps - thirteen on one occasion - so I suppose I was right.

Here is some photographic evidence.

Still, he has got so good (i.e. fast) at crawling that he still considers that to be the best way to get around in general unless has has something to push (doll's pushchair, brick trolley etc.)

It's appropriate to celebrate this life-event today as he is our second-oldest resident child this evening. Exile #3 is having a sleepover somewhere else in blog-land.

It's pop pun 77 for title watchers: we are young but getting old before our time.

  2. It's because I was thinking of you and your sole witness of the thirteen steps. Probably. However, the grocer's apostrophe has been fixed - I wonder who that singular grocer who made that mistake was?!

  3. I thought it was a singular greengrocer - one of those who write prices on their shop windows or on card on their stalls: Apple's xp/lb (or now kilo, here at least). We'll never know.

  4. So, how long before E5N1 will get into a car and drive to the other side?
