Elliott @ 11 Months

Busy busy busy... the only word I can think of to describe Elliott right now.  He is on the move and into EVERYTHING!  Pulling vents off, opening cupboards and taking everything out, climbing stairs, and chewing shoes.  The moment he sees something he is not suppost to get into (like the toilet) he crawls as fast as he can right for it.  We play a new game now 'Move it, Close it, or Pick it up before Elliott gets it' Zachary thinks its quite fun (most of the time). 


He has stretched out a lot and at 31 inches he is taller now then Zachary was at 18 months.  He mimicks all kinds of sounds and is 'talking' a lot.


uh ahh = uh oh (whenever something drops on the floor)


um mmm = thank you


bub ba = Zachary or bottle


ma ma


da da


He is signing quite a bit too


water (when he wants a drink), all done, more, milk, bath, elephant 


He has 7 teeth right now and I think he is working on number 8.


The 11 month photo shoot did not go well.  He is WAY too busy to sit still for pictures anymore but here are a few (and these are the best of the 150 I took).

My water baby.  Loves anything to do with water.  The bath, the kiddie pool, or even the cold water at the splash park.


Happy Tuesday!

Bike Riding

This past week Zachary has learned to ride a bike.  No kidding it has been that fast.  He rode once before we left for Green Bay and then twice since and by the fourth try he made it all the way to the park and back.  Just yesterday he rode all the way to the corner store and back (which is quite a long way).


Murray and I are so proud of our little man.

His head is tilted because he also likes to sing his own made up songs while he rides and bobs his head from side to side.  i wish I had a video camera for moments like that.  It was very sweet.

A Break from the Rain

Finally some sunshine.  


Went out into my garden to find this...

Apparently my Nasturtiums and Sweet Peas are loving all of the rainy weather we have been getting lately.


A nice surprize.


Happy Friday!
