Any curlicues?
Month 11

This week, Charlie turned 11 months. For the first time, he crawled. For weeks he'd been struggling with a grip-and-slide movement, sort of like doing a yoga cobra pose then diving into a doggy paddle, all the while propelling himself on his belly.

But this week he crawled with bent knees and strong wrists.

Then, yesterday, in front of friends who know sign language, Charlie signed the word "more." I have been lackadaisical teaching my pre-verbal son sign language, but no more.
