Elliott in August
Playgroup at Liz's house on 8/1, a very hot day! On the floor with Elliott are Margaret (five months) and Clare (4 months - just two days younger than Elliott and also delivered by Dr. Tchabo after being transferred from BirthCare). Sean (9 months) and Ava (one year) are playing in the background. Thanks to Clare's mom, Lisa, for the photos!
Check out the hair coming in (but please ignore the fact that Jess is way overdue for a haircut!)
Elliott loves to put everything in his mouth, sometimes even things intended for that purpose!
He also loves to reach for things, including my hair, my eyeglasses, drinking glasses and, yes, the camera.
We bought this swing on Craigslist; it's not a huge hit, but sometimes it makes him happy.
Elliott with Doug (5 months old).
Elliott uses his patented grabbing skills to outwit his formidable opponent.
Here we are at our last Music Together class of the summer session, and the last one with teacher Cheryl (dark pink shirt) who lived across the hall from me freshman year at K College before she transferred.
"Yes, I think it's mildly amusing that Grandpa Jim and I are wearing the same color."
His eyes were looking pretty blue, but this is the best I could capture.
"This is my new stroller.I think I'll let my dad take me for a walk in it."
Elliott has quite a grip!  He.can hold onto a toy and make the whole activity gym come up off the floor, whether I lean him back like this or simply pick him up; the activity gym follows. I imagine he'll be a better water skier than either of his parents!
