Elias is always growing and changing - constantly getting older in development as he gets older in time. And I find that he's able to do things I never even realized, just because I haven't expected him to do them.
The past few days have been fun and full of these sorts of changes. He's memorized several of the sounds and pages on books we read, and he's just taught himself to ride his little train on his own. He just started doing it and having a blast, without looking to us for affirmation because he didn't realize it was a big deal.

He also tried to feed himself - he's been reluctant to eat his yogurt lately, but this "game" seems to have enticed him into a few more bites.
