We thought it was time to report on how Eli's adjusting to his experience on The Continent. He seems to be taking everything in stride, though he still refuses to walk. We think he's waiting until he has the strength to walk clear across the room by himself before he ventures out without a helping hand. It's getting a bit frustrating for us but we're trying our best not to push him. Grassy crawling terrain is harder to come by in these parts so traveling would just be a lot easier if he could stretch his legs from time to time no matter where we are. Also, some progress on the talking front. He says Mama and Dada now, but with both words he sometimes loses his train of thought. It goes something like "Mama!(with an acknowledging smile, then on to-)... mam...mamabababa...babagadadagaga.... and so on. He's said "Ciao!" on cue a couple of times as well, but not with any consistency. He's cute as a button though, and we're thoroughly enjoying all of his new tricks. We'd love to see some pics of the babes back home!
For those parents out there, when did you start to momentarily dunk your bambino underwater? Eli seems to be begging for it, but I've been too chicken thus far. Enjoying a dip in the lake...
Sated and sticky after demolishing a enormous nectarine...
We found a bucket swing in town. Yippee!...
Enjoying the train ride to Rome...
