Pre-ambulatory Parental Paradise 

These are precious days. It’s hard for me to believe Lake will be seven months old on Thursday. We are enjoying watching as he explores the interface between his body and the world, both intentional and unintentional. 

He is practicing his dry ground swimming… 


His lean into gravity…


His pushing himself up for a better view. 


And how his smile invokes such delight in his mummy…


We are deeply appreciating what are likely the final days of his pre-ambulatory phase. It’s a luxury to set him down and know that within the confines of a roll or a spin he’s staying relatively “put”… We know his scooting and crawling and then running and walking days are coming up fast and will keep us on a whole new level of “our toes”…
