tongues and toes...













































The past few weeks, Elliot has been working on getting his toes in his mouth.  Last night...success!  He was so pleased with himself and sucked on his (post-bath) toes for a good while.  He also has discovered that he has a tongue in his mouth.  He rolls it around, gums it, sticks it out, so much fun!  Also this week Elliot found his thumbs.  He has been sucking on his fingers non-stop for months now and he finally realized that there are thumbs on his hands.  We think he may become a thumb-sucker...could be worse.
Our dear friends Minette, Ryan and their son Everett were in town from Colorado last week.  They don't get to town too often, so we are thrilled to see them when we can.  Minette, Greer and I all have boys 2 months apart.  With the addition of Julia's son Quinn and Betsy's son Mateo, we have our own little boys club!  We love it and talk all the time about how they will be as they get older and all the mischief they may attempt!
I am officially halfway through my 3rd semester of nursing school and this one has been a real doosey!  At this point, I'm just looking forward to getting through it.  We just finished our rotation in Pediatrics, which I loved!  Now were on to Med-surg which is all big people (aka adults).  I'm much better with small people, so wish me luck.
This Saturday we are heading out to Aqua Linda Farm for pumpkin picking.  If that name rings a bell, it's because that is where Jason and I got married.  We're looking forward to sharing it with Elliot.
It is definitely fall now although we still are having some 90 degree days.  The mornings and evenings are gorgeous!
love to all...

What a cutie!! I can't decide who he looks like more. I think he's a perfect 50/50. Can't wait to give him a smooch! We booked our Christmas tickets home...we'll be there Dec. 13!
Love, J, B and Q
