Up and Running

The blog, that is, not Knox! He IS up if you count sitting! He can sit quite well and manages to touch his toes and play with toys for a moment or two before tipping over. Today Knox ate his first vegetable--green beans. He liked it better than baby cereal. He says "dadada" (merely babble without meaning attached, his mother consoles herself with!) and likes to splutter and spit. He opens his mouth into the widest, happiest shape when we swing him through the air or spin him in a circle. Clay's favorite game with Knox is "blast off", which consists of holding Knox out at arm's length, counting down 3, 2, 1, blast off!, and jiggling him up, up, and away, while Knox's chubby cheeks are flapping in the breeze. I'll try to figure out how to post video clips so you can see blast off.
