I took these pictures in our backyard and I could not get Elliott to look at the camera for anything! I was making all sorts of funny noises, whistles, you name it! I'm sure our neighbors thought there was a lunatic out and about : )

Slacking!

Sorry I have been slacking lately on new updates!

E is getting his top 2 teeth (at the same time)- poor guy!

He also just got over another bout of croup. This time we had to get a steroid injection at Urgent Care to reduce the inflammation in his airways. The shot helped sooooo much and he was doing better that night!

The little guy is definitely digging the finger foods lately too. Lately we have been feeding him sweet potato fries, tofu, egg yolks, and lentils. He 'kinda' gets putting them into his own mouth, but has mainly been practicing. He also loves to gnaw on pretzel rods and long carrot sticks.

He has also started staying up later at night too. This has been so great because we can actually go out and do things as a family instead of being shut ins after 5pm. His new bedtime varies from 730-9pm.

BIG, GIANT, HUGE, GINORMOUS, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANKS to Rick and Sue for helping us with our landscaping this past weekend. We officially have grass planted, timbers put in and bushes planted. Its AWESOME! I will take pictures soon!

Pickles!

We gave E a pickle the other night and he LOVED it!! No strange faces or anything!
I have to admit, I was hoping for a 'pucker' face.
Then I gave him kiwi yesterday and I definitely got the 'pucker' face I was hoping for! He even gave a whole body sour 'shiver'.
: ) It was so cute, needless to say he is not a fan of kiwi!
We tried tofu today. He loved it!
