It's picture time!

We are back from our vist to Minnesota. We didn't get to much time in Minneapolis, and pretty much went straight up north to the cabin. Elliot got to meet his grandma Rebecca, Ed, Great Aunt Cindy and Great Uncle Mike, Great Granny Lois, and a bunch of Ben's friends. He was AWESOME on the plane. Barely a peep. People gave us stink eye when they found they'd be traveling next to a baby, but by the time the flight was over they completely forgot about him because he was so quiet.

It was a short trip, but it was nice. Not too hot, not too buggy (but...you know how I am. Any bug is too much bug. :P )

Here are the latest pictures. These ones are from August right before we left.

Here's a sacked out hot little baby during some of the hot weather we've had this summer.

Elliot got an exersaucer from our friends Dana and Seth. He loves it!! He is a SUPER active baby and loves the ability to wiggle, stand, and look at stuff all at the same time. This video is from his first time in it. He interacts with all of the toys now. We have it in front of the fish tank now, so he has plenty of stuff to look at.

Videos!

Uploading some older videos, and some new ones.

Here's a clip of Elliot screaming. Not so pleasant, but he was a crabby newborn and we would like to document it for posterity. Luckily he's grown out of this stuff now.

Ben talking to Elliot. Elliot smiling.

Baby noises.

I don't have time to put new pics up right now because I'm supposed to be getting ready to leave for Minnesota. Our flight is in a few hours. Elliot will be meeting his great grandmother!! Elliot is her first great-grandbaby. How exciting!!

But I wanted to get this in before we left:
Elliot rolled over yesterday!!!!! Yay Elliot!

In other news, Allison and Austin left a few days ago because Austin got into medical school in the Carribbean. We will miss them, but we're proud of them. Elliot will be a toddler the next time they see him!!!!

Uncle Daniel came to visit and we all had family pictures before they left. I'll post them as soon as I get them. Dan calls Elliot "Bucky". Cute!!

ALSO-
If you read this blog, please comment. We want to know who's looking in on our giant baby adventures.

New Pics

Not to disappoint his loyal fans, here is the latest installment of Elliot's pictures. Remember you can click on the picture to view it larger.

Not much new to report. Still a giant baby. Still cute.

He's "talking" a lot, and loves to smile.

Ben and I went on a date a couple nights ago and managed to see most of a movie. My niece Maddie (13) baby sat him. She loves him. Unfortunately he cried the entire time and after about an hour and a half she texted me "So....uh...when you coming home?" Turns out he was not that into getting babysat.

OK-this first set-Elliot was in a fantastic, highly expressive mood-so there are a lot of them:
