I wanted to take a picture of Elliot with Elmo like when he was a month old. Things did not go as planned. It is not as easy now that he can move. The best picture was the first one where he is touching his nose. After the photo session, we brought Elmo to the floor where Elliot had fun "wrestling" him.

Bucket Head

It fell on my head in the tub so I left it.

Weird sleeper

I like to sleep on my knees with my butt in the air.

I see you

No more Mr. Lazy Bones

I can finally sit on my own.

Finally, some real food

My first non-pureed food. I did good but mom was a nervous wreck (she hasn't given me any since).

Tables are for glasses NOT...

Staring off, looking at the trees

Feeling Better

Eli is feeling much better, sleeping better and eating a whole lot more. He has another mysterious rash on his legs but it doesn't seem to bother him so we're not gonig to worry too much about it unless it gets worse. The main thing now is trying to get those pesky teeth to pop through. He is chewing on everything and drooling like a madman. Again no fever or anything here and he doesn't seem to be too upset about the whole thing.

Mom started back to work last week so Elliot has been spending the mornings with mommom (except on Thursdays when he is with Aunt Pat). All seems to be well with the transition.

Development is plowing forward too. He is sitting really well on his own although not 100% unassisited because he still as a tendancy to throw himself backwards. He loves to roll around on the floor and has started leaning and reaching for things he finds interesting (mostly mom's necklace).

He is growing out of his 6 mo. clothes. The weather was a little chilly last weekend and we didn't have any long pants for him to wear so had to do some shopping.

All in all he is back to being his happy, content self.

Sick

This has been a rough week for Eli. He got his first stomach bug (we think and are hoping that is all it is / was). On Tuesday morning (while dad was home sick from work) mom took Elliot to the grocery store where he vomitted all over the check out lane. He threw up a few more times when he got home. The doctor said to give him pedialyte and make sure he stayed hydrated. He was feeling a little better Wednesday then Thursday he wasn't quite himself and had bad diarrhea (just in time for Mommom to watch him). Hopefully it is just a bug and he'll be back to himself soon. We'll keep you posted.

First Family Vacation

From August 5-12th we went to Cape May Point for our first family vacation to the Shore. Mommom and Poppop (Shell's parents), Gram (Tim's mom), Maggie, Kate, Paul, John, Regina, Ethan and Kyle all spent the week with us. Elliot had a great time at the beach. He loved the water and really loved when the wind blew in his face and he tried to "drink" the wind. He had a fun time with his grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. He wasn't a big fan of the Pack 'n Play and therefore didn't sleep too much. Mom and dad are now trying to get him back on a sleep schedule (not fun) but it was worth it. See pictures below.
