1 Year Old

We made it. Elliot turned one year old on January 16, 2007. Looking back on all the pictures it is hard to believe he was so little and how the time has flown. It is hard to remember that little "blob" that did nothing but eat, sleep and poop. He is getting so big and can do so much now. He is cruising the furniture great and can get wherever he wants around the house. He weighs 21.5 pounds and is 28.75 inches tall (still a shorty but I don't think that will ever change). We still have NO teeth but he LOVES food. He will probably give up the bottle very shortly, execpt in the morning and at night. Mom and dad have limited time on the week day mornings so he needs the bottle until Mommom or Aunt Pat can give him "real food." We will try cow's milk first and hope for the best but if we get stomach issues then it will be soy milk for awhile. (Here's hoping to no problems!!!) He ate some cake on his birthday but didn't get messy. He is not a big fan of smooshy food on his fingers so he touched it and tasted a little but then wanted to be fed with a fork and ate the whole piece. We were hoping to share his birthday with Uncle Mike who turned 30 two days before but they had bad weather and couldn't make it down from Syracuse. We'll hopefully get together next year!
