Elliot is standing up all by himself now. He hasn't ventured a first step yet, but we think he's close -- probably this month!
He has developed this little impish laugh with squinted eyes and rapid inhalations -- it is SO cute! I remember Lucy getting this laugh when she was about his age. He particularly laughs a LOT at the dinner table.
He is still doing 2 naps/day, sometimes with a little 4 o'clock "rest time" just to recharge for the last part of the day before bedtime.
He is talking, talking, talking. Lots of consonants! No "mamas" or "dadas" yet, but he hummed "uh oh" when we were in Beaumont several times -- so that might count as his first word. It's iffy.
He is feeding himself everything nowadays. Applesauce is a no-go for me. I let him get REALLY messy with things like applesauce and yogurt occasionally, but really only if an immediate bath is feasible.
He is suddenly very interested in the strap that goes between his legs in his car seat. I'm not sure he really ever noticed it before this month, but now it's the first thing he looks for when I put him in his car seat.
He is just barely beginning to sort of enjoy going down the slide. But he really likes being thrown in the air and spinning around.
He has warmed up to bath time! At last. He hated baths for the last several months. But now he and Lucy LOVE their bath time and are sad when it's over.
He actually has started throwing his first fits -- full out crying and thrashing when he doesn't get something he wants. He's still mostly really easy going. But I've seen 2 fits in the past few days, so... it's coming.
Elliot, what a joy you are to all of us. Can't believe you'll be one in just 2 months!
