Sweet baby before church this morning. I am so, so thankful his ears are finally clear and he’s feeling like himself again!
Occasionally when I put him on the floor, he tries to stand up instead of dropping to his knees. He can only stand for about 5 seconds but we’re so excited for him. He’s 9 months now and just moved into Walt’s big car seat. He’s almost 21 pounds and growing way too fast! This is a funny face he makes sometimes, I guess because of his new teeth. He’s working on number 8. So crazy!
His big brother is growing too. At his 3-year-old check-up last week (we’re only about 4 months behind on that one), he was 39 and a third inches tall and 33.7 pounds. As much as I hate to admit it, he’s dropping his afternoon nap. I know…. So sad. But after he took a two-hour nap this afternoon, he was wide awake until approximately 10:15 p.m. Seriously. A nap isn’t worth that!
He was pretty funny tonight though. After I put him to bed at 8:30, he came in the den several times for toys or to tell me something, which isn’t unusual, but one time he said in a very pitiful voice, “I need somebody to scratch my back and tell me about Jesus.” And on the way to his room, “Why won’t somebody sing me a lullaby?”
Oh my goodness. He knows what he’s doing. Of course I couldn’t say no.
OK, one more. Silly baby’s toothy grin :)
1.That last picture of elliot makes me want to cry. That sweet little baby in his bed.
2.Maybe Henry has been coaching walt on how to stay up later. “Look, Walt. Here’s what you do. Just say something about Jesus. Works every time.”
3.I think Elliot looks like you where he’s standing up in the monkey pajamas.

That’s it, I have to see them!!! Every picture was so precious, E is so big! And Walt asking about Jesus, it simply doesn’t get sweeter.
