Elliott @ 10 Months

At 10 months Elliott is really developing his own personality.  He is happy and easy going most of the time as long as he gets his sleep.  Without his timely naps he can get quite fussy.  He is a big sleeper.

He is still around 22lbs and 30 inches long.  He has really leveled out over the past few months.  He is using baby sign language more and more and will sign 'all done' and 'more' regularly now.  He has started to nod his head 'yes' now too which is very cute.  You can ask him if he wants something, like water, and he will nod 'yes'. He hasn't learned to shake his head 'no' yet which is just fine for right now.

Oh ya, and he is still a big thumb sucker, especially when he is tired.

Zachary is a constant source of entertainment for him and he always wants to do everything Zachary is doing or be where he is.  The thing they like doing the best together is splashing in the bathtub.

Elliott has mastered crawling and can get around the house very quickly now.  He can also pull himself up now and can stand while holding onto something.  He has crawled up one stair but its not something we are encouraging at this point and try to keep him far from the bottom of the stairs.

 

His hair is getting quite long and we debate cutting it almost every day but I just can't bring myself to do it just yet.  Maybe when Murray finally goes to get his cut we will do it then.

Happy

Sad

He is a dog lover.  He gets so excited when ever he sees any kind of dog.  He even really likes it when they lick his face and knock him over.  This is Elliott and Hazard sharing a moment.

Only 8 more days till we leave for Green Bay.  We are going to visit Michael, Katie, Aisling and new baby Aiden.  Sooooo excited!

Happy Tuesday!
