two items of note

1) Naomi today took baby crawl "steps". She is just at the verge of being totally mobile. She is taking about three or four little crawl steps before she lunges onto her tummy.

2) All of us except for Seth were in the kitchen hanging out this morning. Seth was in the back room playing with blocks. Suddenly he burst into the kitchen with little block sets in hand, giving one to Ethan, one to Naomi, and declaring that they were "candles" as he left the room to get three more, one for me, one for Terry, and one for himself. He had made little pretend cakes out of blocks with a single block on the top of each cake representing the candles. Terry and I were blown away, mainly because he had spent time building the cake blocks with each of us in mind. He made exactly five cakes, one for each in our family. We all had fun with our block cakes, blowing out the candles on top. Seth has an amazing spirit. He is often so incredibly generous for a 22 month old. More than not, it appears that he is thinking of others before himself.

A neat commentary on your son. Your insight to his behavior is very keen. It speaks well for you. Further, I'm sure you say things to him that will reinforce this type of action and thinking on his part.

That's so beautiful, seeing someone so young be so thoughtful! It must be thrilling to see both mind and character developing so well, and so early.

Judah's teething at the moment - the third tooth literally just popped out this evening. :-)
