The Month of October

Well, since I've been pretty bad about updating the blog, I thought I'd take the time now to recap the last month.  This was my last month before I returned to work from maternity leave.  The time went by really fast!!  At least once a week, I either went up to Rosa's house, she and Abby came down to our house or we met at my parent's house in Pearland. 

He definitely balded this month (as have I) so you can see his hair get lighter and lighter.  He learned to roll over from tummy to back, continues to get stronger at all the motor skills, finally learned to take the bottle and was as sweet as can be!  This may be picture overload, but oh well, here goes nothing.

Playing on the floor

Elliott posing in football outfit from Amee.  He spit up minutes after this photo.

 Sitting on da-da, "See! I can do it!"

 One day when Rosa and Abby came over, Abby wanted to be "baby" and sit in the bumbo.

She also wanted to wear Lao Niang's shoes.

 Elliott fell asleep on daddy

Elliott in his trusty old swing after a few weeks hiatus.  Cute as ever!

 Mommy holding sleeping baby and LOVING it.

 He is awake for da-da.

The next half of the photos are from the second half of the month. 
Laughing with Mom!

The next several were a series I took on the couch and just like all his expressions.





 Toggling on Dad's leg

 Posing in my plaid polo from PR.

Abby keeps kissing me and I'm not sure if I like it.

 Rosa A-yi holding Elliott

Dress rehearsal for Halloween

Now a picture with Dad

 Mom took me to the playdate to see my friends.

 Me and my friend Harper as a pumpkin.

Next few are of me just playing on the blanket in my warm clothes because the weather finally did not feel like summer.


Close-up!

Abby and Elliott, Halloween 2010.

The last two here are from Halloween weekend and say pure cuteness. 


I just realized there are more photos in the little camera from our quick weekend trip in Austin.  Well, I should get to bed so those will wait. 

Elliott had his 4 month appointment on Monday, November 1st and he was 26 1/4" (90%), 16 lbs and 5 oz (75%) and 41 cm head circumference (20%).  Big boy!!
