Elliot grows!

Elliot has been busy lately!  Not only has he learned how to grab things and put them in his mouth, he has had many functions and parties to attend!  Aug/Sept are big birthday months in our family, so we have been celebrating!  First my dads' birthday where Elliot debuted his very dapper hat (a hand-me-down from buddy Quinn).  Then Kieran's hot-wheels-themed birthday party, and then the co-bday celebration for Kieran and I (we were born on the same day!).  He was a champion as usual, delighting all those attending with his infectious smile and happy spirit!  Elliot has also been working very hard on tummy-time and is now starting to really enjoy it!  I think it helps that he can look around, reach for things, and roll over on his back if he wants.  Elliot has been amazing while transitioning to the change in our schedules.  We are incredibly blessed to have my mom and Mary (Gawain's mom) on hand to fill in the blanks while I'm at school and Jason is working.  It feels so good to know that Elliot is in such loving hands while I'm away.  The weather is finally changing and fall is coming!!!  I remember once again why we live in Tucson!!!

sending love to all of you...
