Yes, I'm a week early, but I felt like posting about the crazy baby that lives in my house. Yes, Elliott, you are a little goofy, but we love you just the same.Yesterday, we were doing laundry. This has become one of your more favorite activities. You laugh and flail your arms when I take the warm clothes out of the dryer and pile them around you. The clothes however, are not nearly as exciting as watching the front loading machines run. When both washer and dryer are going at the same time, you don't seem to know what to do with yourself. Yesterday, we just watched the washing machine. You love it!
Lots of other exciting things have happened in the last few weeks. You now have 5 teeth, with three coming in just recently. This means you've got two on the bottom and three on top. You look like our little vampire, as your fangs came in first, but now your two front teeth are starting to show their faces. You have also become an excellent ambi-roller. You are not interested in crawling, or being on your knees at all, but you sure can roll to any place you need to be.
You took your first road trip this month and experienced your first car breakdown and subsequent purchase. I think you were the sweetness that got us a good deal on the new car. They couldn't resist your chubby cheeks and your clever little smile. In Jellystone Park, you were an angel. We couldn't have asked for you to be any better on the trip, or on the hotel bed that was yours for the sleeping. Your dad was so nervous you were going to roll off in the night
that he barricaded you with every chair and couch cushi
on he could find. I was so happy to be able to take you to one of my favorite places, and I think that you had a great time, too, just hanging out with all the crazy family and your handsome uncle Willie. The two of you were definitely the best looking boys in the Park.
This month you also experienced your first major scare...you rolled off the bed onto the floor. I set you in the middle, turned around for a second and heard a THUD! You were more scared than anything and thank goodness you had that stupid helmet on or we might have been in bi trouble. The upside to falling off the bed? It was the first time you actually let me hold you without trying to squirm away for as long as I can remember. You are more independent that I care for, but sometimes, even if it's when you fall off the bed, it's nice to know that you'll still let me hold you and give you kisses.
Speaking of your helmet, everyone in our house is done with the helmet, even though we've got a few weeks left. You've started to roll over in your sleep and with the helmet on your noggin, you wake up on your tummy a little disoriented and very grumpy. At 8 weeks old you were sleeping through the night and in the last 3 weeks or so, you're up, crying, 3-5 times a night. Mom and Dad are a little tired of the dramatics, but hopefully (cross fingers) we're almost done. Yeah!
And, with James as the new cameraman in the family, someone besides me has been taking pictures of you this month and a couple of them were sooooo good! Especially this one.
Kiddo, you are getting to be a pretty amusing and fun guy to have around. I think that we'll keep you, and look forward to many more fun and interesting things you'll do.
