New little family 2008: Happy Half-Birthday, Elliot!

Sorry it's been 2 weeks since we posted photos. Been busy with business & with Elliot growing more active & teething! Last Monday at the pediatrician she weighed in at 18.6 pounds (94%) and 27" tall (90%) with a head size of 80%. Her feet hang out of the carseat & we've had to buy her size 12-month clothes now (in fact, a couple things she wears is 18 months!) She rolled over (the video is on youtube) and is ready to start moving more. She now reaches for anything near her, so we have to be careful. If she can't get to what she wants, she yells. She's also trying to sleep less & Russ has had to play the guitar to put her to sleep the past 4 nights.But the pediatrician said since she's taller, etc. that it may take her longer to do things like crawl & walk. She was eating 2 oz of solid foods each time (1-2 per day) and is now up to at least 4 oz each time, 2-3 per day! She acts as though she'd eat all day for as long as you keep spooning it to her. Her new food this week was sweet potatoes. YUM! I'm still making all of her food, so I'm going to have to start making more! I'm adding new videos to youtube. I've added a couple more Christmas photos, as well as new ones. Enjoy!! December 31 - trying to "crawl" toward her bug toys.

January 1 - Happy New Year!

January 3, 2008 : Happy 6-month Birthday, Elliot!! I can't believe half a year has gone by already.

January 4 - it's a new game. See how many pairs of socks we can go through in a day after she takes them off & soaks them with spit. I found her like this after taking a nap...
