Elliot used to get fussy around the time we were going to eat every night...it didn't matter what time we sat down, he would always fuss. I remembered that Hayden used to sit at the table with us when he was Elliot's age, and he has since grown up to sit well at the table during meal times; so, we decided to do the same with Elliot. He loves it! Now he is a part of meal times, rather than sitting on the outside looking in!
Elliot is still waking up several times a night to eat...and he is eating a lot each time he wakes up. Shane and I are both exhausted from this and have decided that something needs to change. So, we are starting solids. Here is Elliot's first attempt at oatmeal cereal...let's just say, it all disappeared down the hatch and he smiled from ear to ear! Not only is he joining us for dinner, he gets his own! How exciting!! We'll let you know if this makes any difference during the night or not!! (And yes, I do know that I am pulling "that face" while feeding Elliot - you try feeding a baby and not make that face!!)
Hayden is in love with letters and numbers. He can identify several letters as well as count (and recognize) from 1 to 10. He loves digital clocks because the numbers are always changing.
Recently, the Betz family (the boys' most wonderful babysitters) have taught Hayden how to hold two fingers up to show how old he is. I am sorry that the video is the wrong way round...I forgot that it doesn't auto correct - I hope your neck will hold out!!
Here is Hayden showing that not only can he count to 10; but, that he can recognize each of the numbers as well. We are so proud!
