Bump-ba-di-bump

Now that Eli's a pro at sitting up by himself, we often place him that way to play (rather than on his stomach or back, lying down). However, Mr. Bigshot hasn't figured out a smooth way to transition to the ground when he wants to get in some floor time. His solution? Throw his arms out to the side and lean back (a la bungee jumpers jumping off a bridge) making a loud thump noise when his head bounces off the floor. Luckily he's only done this upstairs (on carpet) so far. I fear the day he decides to base-jump downstairs where we have thin hardwood floors atop a concrete slab.
