Boy Coda-man has taken off. He is constantly standing on everything, but he can get himself down now, which is really nice. He goes between things that are fairly close together, like the two ottomans. Chris was behind him once helping him stand and let go of him. Coda's body immediately went rigid, his jaw dropped, eyebrows up, arms out. He looked terrified. He started crying around 10 seconds. Chris let him stand, but had his hands close to catch him. Chris's face looked as surprised as Coda's. Then after nearly 30 seconds Coda wobbled and Chris caught him. Coda loves the microwave, loves rubber ducks, still loathes naps, got his first haircut, and started taking a pacifier better, which is helpful at the gym when he is so sad I abandon him for an hour.
