8 Months Old!

Sweet, smart Elliott is 8 months old! 

He is now eating baby food without any trouble. He likes his sweet potatoes, bananas and mixed berries, and several other foods. Rice and oatmeal cereal are not popular choices for him. Neither are the foods with apples. He was just introduced to puffs, and after a few unsure bites he is now a fan of them. Now he just has to figure out how to put them in his mouth once he picks them up.

He started crawling right at the end of 7 months and a couple of days before Christmas. It is so fun to watch him scoot around and rock on all fours. He seems a lot less frustrated now that he can crawl to get things. Sometimes he forgets his newfound ability and sits there upset. 

I love this little boy so much!

 

Almost 7 months old

I love this boy! We are really enjoying Elliott's sweet, funny little personality. As he gets older, he is doing less crying and more being himself. He laughs at silly things (which he did the other day I was attempting a kickboxing workout video) and does his version of talking the entire time he is eating his fruits or vegetables. He absolutely loves reading time and laughs and smiles at Annyong when he is around. He also really likes his gas drops and will kick his legs and smile when we get them out. Elliott is also totally sleeping in his crib now (He was in the swing) and sleeps up to 11 hours at night. We are so blessed to have this little guy in our lives. I can't say that enough. He definitely provides the entertainment around here! 

Smiley Boy

Our sweet Elliott is doing a lot more smiling and laughing these days. I could take pictures of him all day. Here are a few recent pictures of him. I love this blessing! 

Almost Crawling!

Elliott is almost crawling! It will be any day  now. Here he is in action. 

Into his mouth it goes

If Elliott can reach it, it will end up in his mouth! He literally puts any item, finger, thumb, foot, toy, book, cat toy, cat etc. he can find in his mouth. It is funny to watch, but the germ freak in me doesn't find it all that hilarious. Here are a few pictures of him in action. 

Elliott and us

Here are a few recent pictures with Elliott and either Chuck or me or both of us!

Halloween

Elliott celebrated his first Halloween with his cousin, Milo. Neither of them were fans of dressing up, but we had fun seeing them in their costumes!
