Changes are happening so fast. It seems like every three weeks since Amado was born he has completely changed, each time with brand new and surprising skills. Just in the last week or so, he has become a fast crawler---flying across the floor with amazing speed. He is also starting to pull himself up on things---including his crib rails with the threat of jumping out. That would not be good.And yesterday, he started taking baby steps while we were holding his arms. Not really walking, but it's clear that he knows what he wants to do and he's going to do it. Also yesterday he ate some meat (I can hear his Gramma Coop's *gasp* now, all the way from California). It was just a bit from a jar, and by advice of a Toronto Public Health brochure, but still a step closer to complicity in the moral ambiguities of being human.
Watching him grow, it's easy to see how all his changes and growth are brought about by a state that must be innate to humans:
"I want..."
When Annie was little we didn't feed her meat, and we always suspected her grandparents, in our absence, were slipping her steaks on the sly. Sounds like you face the opposite problem with Amado's gramma. Not that tofu burgers aren't deeeelicios!
ReplyDeleteA bit of meat from a jar??? What was it Spam? There's no such thing as a "bit" of meat...he is definitely on his way...too bad you can't raise beef in your apartment like Sol does...hmmm, sometimes a good porkchop sounds tasty even to me...Besides all that, crawling? standing? I hope you're taking videos!! ;-)
ReplyDeleteThe more I look at this photo of Amadisto the more I think how "glad" he looks....
