November 12

Elliott is starting to 'creep' on the floor. I first noticed this the other night. He was on his tummy and is raising himself up on his arms, and he's pushing himself backwards. He's moving his legs and his little butt is in the air as he rotates himself around in a circle. I think he was surprised to realize that he was moving himself, although I think he was trying to move forward and instead he moved himself backwards.

He did this again last night too. He creeps right off the blanket and onto the carpet. He stops and thinks about the new textures that he's feeling with his hands, and he seems to think about this a great deal before patting the floor over and over with his hands.

We took Elliott to the doctors office tonight for an H1N1 vaccination. I have no qualms about giving him this vaccine. We know some folks who think the vaccines are the governments way of keeping down the people...those folks are in Lawrence and I guess it's good we moved out of Lawrence - Never-Never-Land. I digress...

Elliott is eating more baby foods now. We gave him sweet potatoes/corn mixture and he gobbled it up. Tonight he really enjoyed the carrot/spinnach mixture. He does NOT like the ground chicken in a jar. Based on the smell, I can't say I blame him. Max sure likes the smell.

Speaking of Max, Elliott is really laughing now when Max comes near him. E holds his hands up to Max and Max licks his hands while Elliott practically collapses in laughter. Those two are going to be good buddies!!

We are so fortunate to have Max as our Little Pup and so fortunate to have Elliott as our Little E.
