Tour of My Room

My dad video'ed a virtual tour of my room! Come on along!

Tour of My Room

Glad My Dad is Home

My dad went to Tennessee to visit GranGlo and GranTom - he had a great time! But now he is home, and I am glad to see him again.

My family walked up to Pete's EggNest for breakfast and Dad wanted a picture.

New photos for dad

We've been keeping dad and everyone updated with photos everyday. We sure miss him, but he'll be home soon. It's been fun for me to show Mama and Grandma Barb how to blog.


Here's a photo of me in my room.


I think my room is the coolest!

I helped Grandma make her specialty-rum balls! Too bad I can't try them yet.


It's fun hanging out with my mom.



I think she likes me OK.

What a beautiful day

Uncle Paul left early this morning to visit friends in Portland. Grandpa said it was frosty before we got up, but then it turned into a beautiful day.

Since I'm growing quickly, my mom put me in a sweater that looked too big for a while. This sweater was handmade for me by mama's first babysitter-a woman named Sarah Jane. She's a former student of grandma's and remembers mama.


This is a picture of my room-all fixed up.


Mama, Grandma and I walked around Green Lake-I fell asleep.


We stopped for lunch at a soup cafe-I was woken up and not very happy.


It's fun to hang out with Uncle Paul.

Elliott's adventures

Uncle Paul and I are resting after a busy day.



We stopped at Green Bean for coffee and cookies. I wish I could have some. Green Bean is one of our favorite hang-outs.



I'm ready to go out with Mama and Grandma. Grandma likes my new hat because it keeps my ears warm. I like it because it looks cool.




Uncle Paul took me for a drive in bumbo and I don't even have my license yet. I only crashed a couple of times.

Big Day!

The day after Christmas was a big day for us (and it's still afternoon). I really miss my dad, but mama and I are keeping him updated on all of our adventures.


You can tell how happy we are that I'm doing big boy things.


Grandma Barb helped me get a new view of the living room. I told you this was a big day for me.


I also rolled over for the first time! My family is so proud of me. Mama says now I don't have to do tummy time as much-yay!




Here's another photo of me in my new "farmer duds." Sorry it's a little blurry. I'm so excited to be standing that I just can't stay still.

Fun Day

We did a lot of fun things on my first Christmas day. We opened some presents, went to the zoo, frosted cookies, and I got a bath.

Here are our cookies. Mama says they tasted really good.


We decorated Christmas cookies after the zoo. I can't wait until I'm old enough to eat them--maybe next year. We had a snow flake, Christmas tree, stocking, bell, snowman, and a TURTLE!


We all went to the zoo. I had my picture taken with the hippos (they're behind me). Actually I didn't see them because I was asleep but it was fun anyhow. Grandma and grandpa liked the hippos best because they were very close by and putting on quite a show.


Check out me standing up in my other Christmas outfit. I also got this from Amy and Allen. Thanks so much.

Merry Christmas!

We already celebrated Christmas before Dad left for Nashville. However, we are still having fun.

I helped Mama, Grandma and Uncle Paul bake cookies.



Check out the new outfit from our friends, Amy and Allen in Ohio. Thanks!



Mama called this one, "Mr. July." I wonder why?

Lots of fun times

Dad is visiting GranGlo and GranTom in Nashville, so mama is in charge of helping me update the website. Here are some pictures from today.


I started the day playing with my buddy, Turtle.



Mama wanted me to take a nap in my new crib, but I was having too much fun playing.


Uncle Paul, playing with me.

Bear Boy

I got to play with my bears today. I got the black bear this morning for Christmas, and of course Samuel has been around all along.

Dig my new hat?

Christmas Nap

We opened Christmas presents this morning - it was fun! More photos on that later. After all the excitement, I decided it was time for a nap.

I fell asleep in my mama's arms.


My mama put me down in Big Red Chair for the rest of my nap

New High Chair!

GranGlo and GranTom got me a high chair for Christmas! Yay! Thank you GranTom and GranGlo!!

Samuel is taking the high chair for a test drive.

Drawing Table

Grandma Barb got me a drawing table for my room. It's great! It has pictures of animals, and it came with a hippo chair and an elephant chair. Dad says we'll get another picture of the table tomorrow, when the light is better.

My dad and I at the new table.

Playing with Uncle Paul

I have been playing with Uncle Paul this afternoon. He's funny!

Uncle Paul tossed me in the trash - my mama said that the Department of Health and Human Services would come take me away. Hmmm... that's not so good.


I got a good stretch!

Visit from Grandma Barb, Grandpa John, and Uncle Paul

Grandma Barb, Grandpa John, and Uncle Paul are in town for a Christmas visit. We went to the Lighthouse this morning.

I decided it was time for a nap.


Here we are at the Lighthouse!

Visit with Emily and Dylan

Emily and Dylan are in town for Christmas. We met at Lighthouse for a nice visit.

It was great to meet you both!



I liked hangin' out with Dylan

Last Official PEPS Meeting

We went to the last official PEPS meeting tonight. We will continue as PEPS Plus, though - basically those families that want to continue will do so on our own.

l-r: me, Harry, Beckett, Sophia, Miles and Cornelia (Gloria couldn't make it)

Foot Escaping the Sleeper

Anyone who knows me knows that I like to move around a lot. I don't let little things like pajamas slow me down!

My mama took this photo of my foot coming out the crotch of my sleeper. It's funny!

Mark the Day - 25 Inches!!!

Mark the Day! December 17! That's the day that I finally reached 25 inches - and now my mama and dad can follow my growth on the wall chart!

On the chart!

Telling Dad a Story

I like telling stories to my dad.

Telling Dad a Story

Talking to GranTom and GranGlo

We got a nice call from GranTom and GranGlo. Unfortunately I was napping.

Tummy Time

My mama likes to give me as much tummy time as possible. I can hold my head up really well now!

Fun day at co-op preschool

Mama and I went to co-op preschool today. We had a teddy bear picinic for our last class until 2007! Teacher Sarah gave us this really cool streamer toy.



The whole class had a potluck lunch, but I had food from my mom.


Afterwards, I was tired, so I took a little nap on my buddy, Samuel.
