Newsletter Month: 11

Elliot - today you turned 11 months old. Seriously - we cannot even believe it. We are talking about your 1-year birthday which is fast approaching.

You are cruising along furniture, walls, doors, etc. You love to walk around while someone leads you and hangs onto your hands. You smile so big and are so proud of yourself. We think you will be walking by your birthday. Look out!

Your middle name has become trouble as you are absolutely into everything. Seriously I never knew babies were capable of getting into as much trouble as you do. And you are lightening speed fast at crawling, pulling yourself up, grabbing or opening what ever you should not be. And when said thing is taken away from you or you are redirected, you get so mad! You tighten your whole body and yell. Your daddy and I think it is quite entertaining.

About two weeks ago you discovered that you can throw food...at the dog. Wini thought this was the best deal ever and you thought it was pretty hilarious. So after a few throws I separated the two of you - which Wini thinks is the ultimate punishment. You however are continuing to throw your food - enamored at how it sounds, watching it fall, etc. Your messiness has increased greatly. Seriously sometimes we consider just hosing you down after eating.
You are talking up a storm though we can't make much out yet. Uga we think means dog but you know better than we do. Dada is still your favorite and you only seem to say mama when you really need something in the middle of the night...curious.

We look forward to celebrating with you next month as you turn 1-year. Some days it feels like you have been here forever and other days it feels like it was last week and you were just two-months old. Time sure does crazy things with you around.

Love,

Mama
