As usual, I have a difficult time discerning which photos to upload so I end up doing more rather than less.

On Saturday, December 11th, we had our annual Lights in the Heights party except this year, it was VERY low key. And the next day, we met up with our college friends for dim sum. Tung got to meet Elliott and Victor was able to see him again since he was just a few weeks old.

"Who, me?"
Good times!
The following weekend was spent in Sealy with the Baldwin grandparents. They are putting in a garden and Matt helped Grandpa out.

Here is one random photo and then during Christmas break, our high school friends are all in town so we had a mini reunion with half of our group of eight.

By the time he was 6 months old (the 24th), Elliott is officially a crawler. The 9'x12' rug comes in handy and he can get across the whole thing pretty quickly. In the last week, he is starting to push up on our legs and wants to pull himself up to a standing position. It won't be long!
Unfortunately for the family, we've all been sick through the month. Elliott has recovered by Christmas time but mom and dad are still battling out....going on 4 weeks now.
As for a note on Elliott's sleeping pattern, in December, he has managed to go to bed later. He usually goes down to sleep around 8-10 PM and sleeps until 5-6 AM in his crib and then I nurse him in bed and we sleep til 8 AM. I really can't complain too much but in the coming months with daycare and me having to leave for work by 7 AM, none of us will have that luxury of sleeping til 8 anymore.
He is also very alert with sounds. Anytime he hears mom or dad's voice, he will turn his head around. He even knows to look at the back or front door when he hears the keys jingling and doors unlocking knowing that one of us is coming home.
Big Boy!
How did I get under here?
About to lunge for the camera as he likes all electronics

Next post will be his 6 month old birthday, Christmas and whatever else is in the camera. Have a safe new year!
