Road trip to DC!

We just got back from a great weekend in DC where we got to introduce Elio to tons and tons of lovely folks. We stayed with Liz, who is very important in Elio's life, as she's one of the people responsible for introducing Dan and I!



A bunch of people were in town for a conference, so Elio got to meet Nick, Galeet, Mason, Brandt, Eduardo, Steve, River, and Zach.

Here's Galeet and Mason. Sadly, I didn't get their little cutie baby Yaniv in the picture. He's not yet 4 weeks old, and I couldn't really ask them to wake him up and drag him out of the stoller just for my photo op.



Here's Elio with Brandt. Brandt had many words of wisdom to impart; Elio soaked them up.





And here's Elio with River. He's looking pretty thrilled to be meeting so many wonderful people, isn't he? Quite the social butterfly.



In just the last few days, Elio's really gotten better at sitting up. And he's trying hard to get even better at it -- he does little ab crunches all the time, trying so hard to pull himself up.



And here he is being a goofball and lunging for the camera.
