Last year...

And he still loves dancing to this song!!!

Busy times

Hi all!  It feels like forever since I've posted.  Elliott is getting molars!!!!  It is not a good time for him, I can tell that it is making him a little annoyed.  Or maybe he is just hungry. 

He is more and more steady on his feet and can really get around.  He particularly loves to crawl inside his pushing walker doodad and just expects it to move while he is inside it.  Hysterical.  He wants to do everything that Lucas does, and then some.  Ben and I just can never get over how very different the boys are.  Elliott opens every cabinet and can trash a room in 10 seconds.  Flat.  Lucas would never have dreamed of it.  Elliott runs hot and cold, points and screams for something with 10000% energy, and then in the next moment can be super calm and withdrawn in independent play.  Lucas would be content to snuggle for 15-20 minutes without moving a muscle (except to pinch), while Elliott really wants his own space.

One thing is for sure, they both love each other to pieces.  When they get each other laughing, it is a riot, Lucas can't even breathe and Elliott is super snaggletoothy.  It is hysterical.

I'll post photos soon!!

Ahh, what a week. It wasn't pretty, but I learned so much about patience. I also know truly that even though none of us are perfect, we really are the perfect family, perfect friends for each other, perfect balances to each other, and we really do have just what we need to be successful and happy.  I guess sometimes imperfect is the most perfect.
