Elliot is crawling! Finally! I have mixed feelings about this milestone. It's only been a couple days and he's still really slow, but he has managed to get many things I didn't want him too. He may have eaten a scrap of bright blue paper today while I was helping Libby. I think I got most of it out, but it was pretty chewed up, so who knows...oops, guess it could've been something worse. I do love that he has hit a new milestone though and it's fun to see how excited he gets when he can crawl over and get something he wants. He is still super happy most of the time (except, heaven forbid, I walk out of the room. Going through some separation anxiety right now, I hope it's a short stage cuz it's nearly impossible to get things done)
Here are his stats and percentiles. (i'll put adjusted age stats in ( ))
Height: 28in 32% (70%)
Weight: 18lbs 9% (29%)
Head: 17. 8 41% (63%)
It's so weird to think that he started out so small. He seems huge now. I even had a couple people tell me he was kind of chubby when we were in WA. (they must have compared him to Liberty, cuz he isn't chubby, but next to her yes). He also outweighs what Libby weighed at 1 year! She was only 15# 12 oz at 9 months and 17#5oz at 1 year! Libby insists on "having a turn" when Elliot goes to the dr, so I was happy to learn she gained a pound since her last visit which was probably 2 months ago-- up to 25lbs now!
Sorry, no pics today. Camera hasn't been unpacked from our wa trip--post about that later I guess.
