Happy Baby

Elliot is one happy kid. He has definitely experienced a turn-around from his first months of life when he was seldom content unless he was nursing or sleeping. These days he is all smiles. He has discovered the joys of thumb-sucking (he's quite an addict) and rolling around on the floor. Oliver loves to make him laugh. It's entertaining to see what a 2 1/2 year old thinks will make a baby laugh. It's mostly physical gags in the Three Stooges tradition: falling down, hitting his head with a toy, making silly faces and noises. It seems to work, though, Elliot thinks he's hilarious! I love hearing them giggle together.



I'm just playing around with some photo collages. Here are more pictures of our happy guy.

cute, cute, cute and so expressive in his looks. Maybe Ollie can teach Nathan a thing or two since he still thinks that it's cool to grind his hard head into Lias' poor soft head. Argh...but sometimes he's nice and it's so cool to watch two little boys together.

It is such a joy to hear your kids laugh together!
File away this "joyful moment" and bring it out when Elliot is able to take Olli's toys! Then begins major screaming, bitting & hitting and longing for laughing together moments!!!
