More favorite activities

Besides playing with his toys here are a few more of Elliot's favorite activities at the age of one.
Spending time with his big brother

Playing in the cupboard

Running around naked


Pulling all the kleenx's out of the box

Healthy Teeth

One of Elliot's favorite things to do is brush his teeth. He even has learned to lean over the sink and spit. That skill he picked up on his own from watching us brush our teeth.

Easter Morning

Is it Easter or Christmas? With both sets of grandparents and the Easter bunny the 3 kids got lots of baskets.

Elliot's 1st Birthday

Elliot turned one on the 22nd of March. We were lucky to have all our family here with us to help him celebrate. We had everyone over to our house for lunch, cake, and present opening. Elliot had a great day. I really think he knew the day was all about him. He just hammed it up all day!






Visitors

For Elliot's birthday and Easter we had lots of visitors. Nichole (Grant's sister), Scott, and Aidan came from Texas. Both of our parents were here as well. We had a great weekend. We had a lobster feast with Grant's family, Elliot's birthday party, went bowling with both Grant's and my family, enjoyed the outdoors, and celebrated Easter.

Fun in the Snow

Going out to play is a lot of work. We spent about a 1/2 hour getting ready and only about 10 minutes outside. Elliot's gloves kept falling off and then he would put his hands in the snow. He did not think that was very fun!
