Edric on the loose

chasing mommy down

making daddy proud

It wasn't me

standing

Edric can stand himself up now. If you look closely, you can see a bruise on his face, which he got from this chair just a few hours earlier.

little engineer

Edric likes to play with his swing on the outside now. He's thinking of majoring in engineering because he's fascinated by how stuff works. Also - that toy near him that's upside down is one I had hid in the corner. He found it and pulled it out!

Finally moved the pack n play mattress down to keep Edric from climbing out. This is his reaction to the new play area. Fast forward a few years and you'll see him doing this on a school bus window.

Thanks to the self-timer on Adam's camera.

3rd times a charm

It took 3 tries before Edric warmed up to the idea of going into the scary ocean.

beachtime

Daddy brought Edric into the ocean for the 1st time. He liked the sand, but hated the water. He cried as soon as his little feet touched it.
