Elliott - 5/12/2015

Elliott ate half of whole wheat bagel serving and ate apricots for breakfast.  For lunch he ate everything; chicken, elbow noodles, peas, and applesauce.  (I mixed them all together again.)  He let me feed him all of it.  He likes to feed himself, but I've noticed that by lunch time if he's getting tired he actually prefers that I feed him.

Wow!  Everyone is here today!  It is nice to have Elliott back!  I've been missing him!!  Cooper was happy about that and he was cute when Elliott arrived!  He kissed him several times on the head and followed him around for the first 30 minutes.  He kept telling me, "I kissed Elliott!"  It was very sweet how much affection he was showing Elliott.  In the picture below he just went over and sat down beside him while Elliott was drinking some milk.

This tidbit has nothing to do with Elliott, but I thought you might enjoy it anyhow!  My neighbor Willy was out mowing his lawn and he always looks to see if the kids might be at the window.  So Cooper waved and said, "Hi Big Willy!"  (That's my name for Willy.)  Elliott was at the window too, but he was looking, not waving.  This was Reid's first time waving at Willy and I liked his version - "Hi Big Wooly!"  (Willy will think that's hilarious!)

Reid was sitting on the couch and Elliott was standing in front of him tugging playfully on Reid's blue blanket.  Reid just grinned at him and pulled his blanket away.  So Elliott started tugging on Reid's socks.  It was pretty cute because Elliott was intently watching Reid's reaction.  (Which was pretty mild!)  I'm not sure what Elliott was thinking or expecting, but after that he just wandered off to explore something else.  :)
