TEN

Guess who is ten months old today? If you have to check your calendar because you just can't believe it, don't feel bad... so did I!

In honor of ten months, here are ten facts about Elliott:

1. He weighs about 18 pounds and is finally moving into his 9 month sized clothes.

2. He still eats everything.

3. He spits up a little bit less than he used to. Which is wonderful since keeping him on a blanket or towel is impossible because...

4. He only stays still for approximately 0.07264 seconds before moving. Oh did I mention he learned to crawl when we were in California a couple weeks ago? And stand up. And climb stairs. And since he stands up...

5. He gets knocked over approximately every 5 minutes by his sister. Elliott has always been head over heals for Nory. But lately he is becoming more and more suspicious of her "hugs" and "help" (this seems like an excellent survival skill).

6. He had his first ear infection. Which means he has spent the last two weeks being miserable and I have spent most of the last two weeks holding him.

7. He loves balloons.

8. He didn't love the beach.

9. He bites everything. He isn't too bad while he is nursing but he will bite your neck, arms, and shoulder while you hold him; your clothing or shoes; the carpet, couch, blanket, or anything else he can get his teeth on. Oh Lord please let him grow out of this.

10. We love this little dude more and more every day!
