Elliot walking in snow to Brianna

Big Shoes

It's a little embarrassing how young he filled my shoes. I thought it would take longer...

First Snow! And it's a lot!

The snowman is actually an ET look alike. Elliot always wanted to meet him but he took off long ago.

Hi!

I'm 14 months, what are you...?

Thank you Mrs. Stulky for making my dad this book, it is getting some use again... and soul flower for the shirt.

Hmm, which babysitter to pick?

Here's looking at you kid

Naked Laugh

Sun and independence

Out and about

A trip to the conservatory (it's warm and humid inside:-)
















Mom is the teeter of these totters.
















Swing time.

In our family, this kind of rhythm is only possible with a giant spring

Not a doll...but it's so easy...

These are some great ones Becca orchestrated recently.

















A lot of catching up to do in the ideas department

















Elliot phone home

















Growth spurts goes straight to his head.

First Hug?!

Generally I try to post things that will one day embarrass Elliot. But this one was too cute to pass up.

Football hold record

Setting a personal "best", Elliot needed the football hold for about 6 of the 11 hours he slept!

Gonna wait a couple more weeks before we try the rice again...

First food!

If you happen to know feeding therapy, you will find this interesting.

Rice and Breastmilk



In a later post, we will let you know how it went.

Finally a big smile

It's impossible to catch his smile with a camera. But, for once, we caught it.

Can't put my arms down

Thanks Cathy for the snowsuit!

LT gets his jump on

Thanks Mike, for the jumper.

If these things wreck my kid, please be polite about it.

We were really cramping Elliot's style. He wore his Caltech Water Polo shirt for the beach scene.
