Been awhile

Wow...it's been a while since I've showed my face on our blog. Shame shame, right? ;)

I've spent most of today on the couch with Mr. Elliot. I'm still battling this nasty crud I picked up from somewhere (ahem, Dad). Fortunately Elliot seems to have missed out on the flu/crud stuff Petey and I passed around last week. I'm glad the really nasty stuff only lasted about a day for each of us but it was bad while it lasted.

Elliot has been in a super clingy, must-have-mommy-at-all-times phase lately. He's getting used to the phrase "Mommy has to go potty" & then I tap on the bathroom door. He doesn't freak out when I do that but if I leave without saying that or saying anything else he gets upset even if he can still hear me. Silly boy.

Elliot has learned to pull himself up on his music table. He seems to really enjoy being on his knees but he's not so coordinated so once in awhile he bonks his head on it. He also really enjoys the 'page' that he can turn or chew on. He's also getting much, much better at being on all fours. He used to H.A.T.E. it so we're definitely happy with this turn of events. This past week he's even put himself there once or twice. Maybe there is hope of him crawling! ;)

Four more days of classes and then Petey is on SPRING BREAK! I'm so excited for him to have a break and to get to have some time together. We're hoping to get to Minnesota for a couple days to see some friends and relax. I really want to take Elliot to the zoo. I think he would love seeing all the animals in real life since he likes them in his books so much.

Elliot's been saying "ma ma ma ma ma" all the time now too. I can't decide if he knows that he's calling for me or if he's just talking to himself. Either way it's a lot of fun to hear!
