Jared just recently went on a trip, so Elliot and I made a video on my phone and sent it to him. I them let Elliot watch the video he made and recorded his reactions. He loves himself! (My voice you will be hearing in from the phone video.)
8 Months!
My little booger is growing up fast! He is moving more and more every day. Nothing gets done around here because Elliot is moving and going for everything he is not suppose to (Elsie’s toys, and items on our book shelf). And is starting (I believe) to understand what I tell him to do or not do. His new favorite game is crawling to the stereo, having me tell him “no”, looking at me and smiling, and then continuing to try and touch it OR crawl away and then as fast as he can crawl back to it!
We have been using some sign language with him for several months. He knows what all the signs mean, and even has his own version of two of them (‘all done’ and ‘nurse’). Elliot is currently trying to learn to wave (nothing yet), clap (doesn’t do it, but loves when I clap), and give kisses (he has given a few!). He is also in the process of getting his two front top teeth….this has seriously disrupted all of the sleep in our house.
He is starting to love music and likes it when I sing (only God knows why). His favorite toys right now are little plastic balls that he can bang on things, and his music playing turtle!
Oh! and a big change! He is wearing cloth diapers! We haven’t used a disposable in 3 days! He seems to not mind them and I quote Jared in saying, “these are actually easier than disposables”. So both my men are on board! If any of you mamas have questions or want to know more about cloth diapering email me or call, we can chat
