Elliott - 4/9/2015

Elliott ate whole wheat english muffin and blueberries for breakfast.  For lunch he ate chicken, crackers, most of sweet potatoes, and ate canned cherries.  He was kind of dozy at lunch time and he didn't even really look at the chicken when I was feeding it to him!  This was the best he's ever eaten the canned chicken from Costco.  (or the baked chicken I do as well)

I took these two picture yesterday afternoon after nap time, but I like both of them so I'm posting them today!  :)  Elliott made this block tower all by himself!  As I've mentioned before I'm impressed (and so is Lauralea) with how well he manipulates these bigger blocks and the little legos as well!  Nice job Elliott!

I'm not sure what he was doing in this picture; just jigging, jiving and and being goofy Elliott!  I love how easily he self-entertains and gets a kick out of everything!

I may have mentioned this before as well, but Elliott impresses me with how much "control" he exercises when experimenting with different situations.  I'll give you a couple examples of what I'm referring to.  He is an adventurous little fellow, but he's way more cautious than I would have guessed he'd be!  Yesterday outside was the first time I've seen him go down one of the slides by himself.  He went face-first on his tummy and used his hands to slow himself down and went down slowly and under control.  Nice job Elliott!  Another example was when he first made it to the top of the table in the play room.  He got on his belly and eased himself off backwards, going in slow incremental steps until he could feel his feet hitting something solid.  Again, nicely done Elliott!
