New favorite food

Elliot has discovered chocolate cookies. I think he would eat them for each meal if I let him. He's not the neatest eater. He also seems to be gulping down as much milk as possible. Sophie, our Korean exchange student, has taught Elliot to say "Cheers" as he toasts your glass with his milk sippy cup. Of course he'll do it 4 or 5 times in a row.

Our friend Jeff told me yesterday that when he recently took Nana to the vet, she weighed 72 pounds. This is a big dog. She can clean the remainder of Elliot's snacks off the floor faster than any three kids, or any one vaccuum cleaner I have ever seen.
