Elliott's World: I am getting so big

It has been a while since I have posted anything on here so there should be a lot of pictures.

We recently went to see Dr. Katz for my nine month check up. I weighed 19 lbs and was 28 inches long. The doctor was very happy with how I am developing.

So you may be asking yourself what is the little bundle of joy up to these days. Well...ALOT. I am now pulling himself up on EVERYTHING!! I love standing in my bed and even scoots from side to side.

I can say Mama, Dada, and Ball. I love balls of shapes and sizes and colors. Mommy and Daddy gave me a soccer ball as a special treat after I got my shots. I am working on my third and forth tooth. My two front teeth! This has caused me to be a little grumpy but who wouldn't be. Right now my favorite foods are chopped up green beans, peaches, peas, carrots, cheerios, bananas, and even spaghetti. I am also crawling everywhere. There is no place in the house that is off limits. Mommy calls me her little swiffer, because I always get dog hair all over me. (These pictures are 8 month old pictures)

In July Mommy, Daddy, and me went to visit with Grand Pappy, Nanny, and Bubbles. While we were there I got to take my first trip to the beach. I had a really fun time.

I sat under the dome shade to help keep cool and played with my new stacking ups. Mommy and Daddy wanted to show me the ocean, so they carried me to the ocean.

I cannot say I really liked the ocean. The water was loud and the sand was wet.

The day ended happily. I cannot wait to go back to the beach.

Here I am at Nanny's house eating my toast. I love toast, I have been told I would like it more if Mommy would let me have some jelly on it. She is so boring sometimes.
