Ending New Video Posts on This Page

Since Neli began to walk I have found less time to make as many videos as before. When he just slithered and crawled around it was so much easier to use the computer. Now he comes up and asks to see videos, presses buttons and climbs in my lap. Hence less videos being made - less need for a whole page dedicated to them. I will post new videos to the Goldfish Blog


Enjoy the 35 plus videos of Baby Neli morphing to toddlerhood found on this page.

Momentous Change

From December to May Neli has gone from a crawling little dude that spewed out words to a running toddler we have "conversations" with.

Stand and Walk Little Man


Neli decided to walk on his own at 15 3/4 months. He was up past his bedtime and full of fun cousin/family energy at thanksgiving. He just stood up and started walking like his ancestoral great apes. When he fell he got up and took off again and again. A week or so later he hasn't seemed to have that much interest in repeating his walking feat.

Baby Talk

Neli has taken to talking before walking. See his progression of vocabulary from 13 months to 15 months old.

First Steps (with help)

Just out of the blue Neli wanted to take some steps (at 13 months) The weird thing is he took about a month off before he showed any interest again in taking steps.

Neli One Year Relentless Love



Like they say "the years fly by fast", or in this case one year of relentless love will complete its turn on August 4th. Every morning he is up ready for a new day of learning and everyday something new is learned. Whether it is how to master crawling, as he has this last month of year one or his fascination with pressing buttons this little guy's waking hours are all about experiencing the moment. Us parents are co-explorers, observing as he does. Nadine as a principle investigator armed with her night-stand reference library and myself as the data collector taking hundreds of photos and videos to reflect upon in the future.

A whole new world of the outside has opened up to him through a portal you and I know as the doggy door. One moment he is in the house pushing the flap and the next he is whooshed out to the dirty flagstone yard of chickens, flowers, and sticks.

He has almost six teeth in and happily crunches on cereal. There is not much he is not interested in eating. His new skill of waving good bye to mommy, daddy or visitors is getting honed in (as in he will do it when someone waves to him and not minutes after the person has left) and at times he will wave good bye to the dog in anticipation of her fleeing his approach. He still has little to no stranger anxiety and yesterday decided to crawl across the whole park to check out the basketball court, the balls being his point of interest.

One year down, the rest of our lives to go.

The Starving Baby



Neli's nanny Tessie has called Neli the "Starving Baby". He seems to have an non-stoppable interest in feeding himself.

Locomote!



Maybe he is related to elephant seals? This is his first "crawl" ever.

Eating Glasses


One of Neli's favorite past-times. This is a video might only be suitable for diehard Neli fans - 3 minutes of baby babbling and sucking on glasses, not much else to see.
