Evan took 47 steps yesterday without help and can stand up without support when asked (verbally and with a hand gesture). Does this count as walking? How many steps does it take to count? I am officially considering him to be walking - shortly after the 11 month mark. Wow!
Wednesday was a return trip to the lab to get three more vials of blood drawn for the long list of tests he is getting. It's not over as there are still titres needed to test his immunizations - but that will wait. He protested a bit this time but we finished without any major disasters (like him pulling the needle out or something).
Yesterday was a run to the lab again, with four carefully packed specimens for other tests. Basically, we want to rule out any parasites or other nasties.
The latest cool thing Evan is doing is pretending to talk on the phone. All it takes is looking at him and saying "Hello?" and he'll put whatever item is in his hand up to his ear and listen.
