Happy First Birthday, Elliot!

What an incredible first year! Elliot is now saying mama and da-dee. He loves to read books with mom and work the calculator with dad. He knows how to get out all the pots, pans, and tupperware. He has flown on airplanes and can finally ride in the car without throwing up. He already knows how to pick the broccoli out of his food and he can tell you exactly which yogurt container is going home with him from the grocery store. His infectious laugh keeps the hugs and kisses coming. And we suspect that he will have hair by his second birthday. This blog is dedicated to all those who have been a part of Elliot’s first year. We couldn’t have done it without you!

Elliot likes to watch the fish swim at the zoo.
