Seems as though I have a little comedian on my hands! Elliot makes me laugh everyday--real laughter, sometimes from the belly. He knows he is funny. I am really enjoying this age. He is quite independent though there are times when he really takes to mommy--especially in the evenings or when he's tired. He has been such a social butterfly lately--he really enjoys new people and the games they make up!
I have been feeling truly blessed to be able to experience life through the eyes of a child. The simple things. Dogs. The wind. Apple Slices (to suck on). Soft blankets. Kisses. Clapping. Standing. Dancing. Peek-a-boo. Outside. Sticks. Pebbles. Toes. Fingers. Lights. Being held.
I hope someday soon I'll be able to write that I am getting lots of sleep--and maybe a nap or two--but until that day, I am enjoying the wakeful moments. :)
Things Elliot likes to do:
Wash hands and feet
be tossed
stand
play with Mr. Blue
watch the dogs
pick grass
eat mushy cheerios
be upsidedown
watch mommy brush teeth
be on Daddy's shoulders
crawl very fast
Things Elliot says:
mamamamamamama
bababababababababa
dadadadadadadadada
tatatatatatatatatatata
nanananananananana
dot/that ?? still can't tell exactly (dat)
mot
maba
dana
bama
nanama
aaaammmaaa
etc--you get the point.
He also says whole sentences of things I can't even repeat. It's baby language that us old fogies can't understand.
He fills my heart.
P.S. Elliot "clucks" and high fives! I've got to get a video. He actually puts his tongue on the roof of his mouth and creates suction, removes it, and CLUCK! It's too funny. He is turning the pages of all his books--which means we better read fast--cause that page has GOT to be turned!
