There's not a lot of progress to report at this point, but we've been letting Emil go diaper-free for a few hours at a time to get an understanding of his patterns. Basically, he goes just when I thought he did - almost immediately after eating, and within 15 minutes of waking up. We've also started making the pssss and hmmm sounds to get him to associate those with elimination.
The next step is the big one, actually trying to anticipate and aim him into the bowl, making the sound cues. I'm not sure how long we will give it - if it doesn't come too easily, we may abandon this whole idea. He's just on the cusp of being an older baby, and thus harder to train in this method. But we'll see. If you want to read a little about this whole process (and verify that I'm not making it all up!), you can check out the following links:

A good description of EC is on this site.
This site is by the author of a book that is the de facto reference on the topic.
