Baby friends and happy art

It's been a happy week for Elliot. Grandma and Grandpa were here Thurs-Mon during which time we took in Chihuly's art in the garden. He was thoroughly spoiled by grandma and already misses her. I can tell because he whines more now that she's gone. He also enjoyed some baby friends. He loves to talk to them, especially Robert Rhodes, seen here on the couch. He charmed Mallory seen here in pink. It's amazing what I can get away with if there's another little person here to entertain him. He's definitely the extrovert baby. Must get that from papa. He stands for longer and longer periods. We're up to 10 seconds at times. I think the first step is very near...
