Just playin'

Here is Elliot with some friends in their favorite place to hang out - the dog cage, of course. This is what he did one day to a banana. I guess it was more fun than eating it. The poor kid's been getting some big ol' teeth the past few days. In the morning he has just laid down on the floor and cried. He has woken up crying, the time of day when he usually giggles at me and says "boo" when I roll over in bed. He has often refused medicine, the only thing other than a popsicle that I've found really helps, and has had trouble sleeping.

I wished a lot today that I could be the one in pain instead of him. It's just sad. He did sleep until 6:15 this morning. That was like a miracle. Hopefully it made up for night before when I think his poor little gums just got the best of him.

Other than that, he's doing well. He's trying more and more words, and said his first two word phrase on Thursday, "Hi, Jack". Of course it included the name of two of his favorite people in the world, both of whom are named Jack. He said good bye to his trains today as we left for church. Gotta love those trains.

One week from tomorrow we see Elsie again, to make sure the placenta has moved to where it needs to be. We'll pass on some pictures then.
