5 Weeks, Toys!

Elliott has decided that toys are cool. We already knew that he was all about eye contact, music, and staring into space, but something in his little baby brain has clicked and toys are all the rage in our house. He suddenly loves the jungle animal mobile above his crib, and the black and white cow thing he got at his baby shower. Perhaps most exciting of all, we are getting very close to an awake smile. Grandma Judy got to tend Elliott this morning and she is certain that she almost got a smile out of him...seeing him smile when he is awake instead of just when he is asleep will be a real treat, when it happens.


Just look at the excitement! And, those chubby little arms.


Happy and focused on....TOYS!
