Old enough for Nursery

It's hard to believe this guy is 1 1/2 already! He still seems like a baby to me even though he is walking and saying a few words. He is so funny and happy and such a joy to our family.

Elliot's stats:
Height: 31in (15%)
Weight: 23 lbs (14%)
Head: 19in (64%)

I kept thinking he was a big guy since he has all these tiny friends, guess he is pretty tiny too. Very proportionate height/weight though, with a big head.

Such a big boy!
What Elliot's up to these days
Elliot will drive cars around on the floor, can stack up 4+ blocks, dances a lot, and loves to throw balls. He also LOVES t.v. (a little too much), he knows that the wii remote will turn on netflix and if he can't get it to work, he brings it to me and yells at me. Poor kid has had to watch a lot of princess movies and angelina ballerina, thanks to Libby, he doesn't seem to mind, but he definitely likes Thomas the train or Curious George better if he gets the chance to watch them. He has also hit the tantrum stage and will throw himself on the ground when he is angry and cover his face and cry. It's pretty entertaining most the time...he is still a pretty happy kid most the time and gets along with other kids pretty well. He does really well in nursery. He loves animals, especially this hideous stray cat that hangs around our apartment complex. He follows it around meowing at it, which is pretty darn cute and funny.
Getting a picture of him these days is hard. He is far to busy to stop and pose and it seems like most turn out blurry.

Elliot's words at 18 months: 
shoe
bye bye
pee pee
knock knock
bottle (bobble)
mama
dada
go
kitty
meow
(fish noise)
doggy
quack
ball
cracker
nose
up
night night
boo
peek (as in peekaboo)
no
bath (ba bat)
(growl)
woof (he will only do it occasionally)
play (playground)
Flower

He's adding more words all the time and is getting better at imitating words. It's so much fun.
