My smiley, little Elliot is four months old now, and doing things. The past week he has been focused on rolling from his back to his stomach, waking us up multiple times a night when he realizes he can’t easily return to his back. Even better, he has started to laugh – mostly at us for doing silly things, but also at life in general. His spirit is so joyful he is a pleasure to be around. He had his first cold and trip to the doctor to assure us it was only a cold, and still has the remnants of a cough. He is always drooling…copious amounts of drool the likes of which I have never seen. Please don’t tell me he will be getting teeth; I like to live in blissful ignorance that they are probably forming sooner than later.
Favorites:
- Henry, Mama, and Daddy (in that order)
- Chewing on whatever he can grab – fingers, toys, blankets
- Cuddling with people
- Reading (eating!) books
- Sophie the giraffe
Dislikes:
- His car seat
- Not being able to roll off his belly (even though he has done it in the past)
