It's the end of April and we had a very busy and FUN month!
You are smiling, laughing, cooing, and waving your arms and legs all over the place!
It's so fun and adorable to see you start interacting more!
You started this month off with some nasty congestion.
We've been sleeping in the guest room some, which is nice because that means you actually lay down to sleep some now... granted, I still prop you up and it's not great sleep, but it's progress. It's been a super exhausting few months in the ways of sleep (or lack thereof).
You like being held for naps and laugh in your sleep!
We had family pictures at a nearby park.
You had your first Easter.
You took your very first plane ride and did great.
While we went to Disney World but you stayed at the hotel with Grandmom for lots of cuddles (and we wanted to keep you safe/healthy... we promise to take you back someday so you can enjoy it!).
You LOVE your brother soooo much!
You like sitting up in your floor seat.
We hope sitting up helps calm down some of the spit up.
When you are happy, you are very very happy, and your smile makes me melt!!!
Also, your hair is getting even more red! It's kinda thinning and getting long and wispy so I think we're going to need to trim it soon!
It's still not super easy; there's still lots of spit up and fussiness but I'm exclusively pumping and I think we've found some bottles that are making it a little easier on all of us.
Every month you seem to be getting happier and better.... keep it up, buddy!!
Elliott is not quite 2.5 years old:
Talking more and having conversations; sometimes we have a take a minute to figure out what he's talking about but he's always onto something and knows what he means AND IS SILLY.. and it's so cool how he's understanding so many more things that we say too!
He refers to himself as "Elliott" a lot in conversations and it's so cute!
He knows his first, middle, and last name.
LOVES books and singing songs.
Knows shapes,letters, and numbers... starting to associate letters with words, like "V is for Vulture"
Likes putting on clothes and shoes by himself. His green striped "bat pajamas" are a favorite. Also likes wearing accessories like glasses, gloves and hats.
Pretends to be animals (crab is pretty cute).
Loves looking at the moon and stars.
Fake burps and thinks picking his nose is funny.
Likes walking in my "Tippy Toes" (high heel shoes) around the house... and is surprisingly really good at it. Haha!
Is learning how to work the TV remote-- we're in trouble! Tries to tell it UmiZoomis.
Likes Team Umizoomi, Bubble Guppies and Mickey Mouse
Loves loves loves Anderson so much and still asks to hold him often.
Loves making forts and wrestling with Daddy on the floor.
Funny story that I hope you don't hate me for when you're older. One day you were supposed to be napping and I walked in and you were standing by your crib. I noticed you were pooping and asked you if that's what you were doing and you said, "Rock in my booty. Cheeseburger in my booty. Giant coke in my booty."
There's never a dull moment around here.
Also, thank you SO MUCH to Grandpop for the genius idea to put chip clips on Elliott's carseat straps to keep him from being able to push his chest clip down and get his arms out of the straps. So many times I had to pull over and fix him in his seat... my dad was out walking the dogs and called me to tell me his idea! It has worked like a charm!! Hallelujah!
