And he seemed to maintain his achievements of yesterday. He still does some wacky, death-defying moves on the stairs that nearly scare the crap out of me, but one of us is always right behind him just in case. He struggles with the weeble-wobblies as he balances himself for the hard stuff, but he's getting it. Our first memories of GROSS motor came from J-Man being a late, late walker. He'd crawl and skooch around on the carpet at lightning speed or drag himself around on the floor for good measure. Sometimes he'd have a rip-roaring, um, 'expulsion of matter' from his backside and then go flying around the floor in his unique, freestyle crawling - generally leaving a little of the expulsion behind him as he went. Jolly good show... @Sarah and @JB – Today was vomit-free! And he seemed to maintain his achievements of yesterday.

Jolly good show…

I have no idea how to answer this. Trying to come up with something clever, but failing miserably. Just don't start giving him syrup of ipecac, OK? :-) I'm so glad to hear the good news about the stairs. Wow. And I can't wait to see him do it! Wow. I have no idea how to answer this.
