Somehow all the sleepless nights and hectic days have resulted in Elliot becoming 10 months old! It is amazing to think that he is already so close to becoming one. He is so full of life, vibrancy, energy...and mischievousness that we can hardly keep up most days!
To Elliot, the word 'no' is a formality that needs to be crossed before doing what he wants anyway...while demonstrating the "butter wouldn't melt in my mouth" facial expression. Anything that is illicit and off limits, is fair game to Elliot. He is hilarious and charismatic, adventurous and lovably obnoxious.
He has four teeth now and is not afraid of using them. In the disguise of coming in and giving you a kiss, he will clamp down...hard. He is constantly sporting a wet chin and wet shirt from the never-ending amount of drool. He eats at least 4 big meals of mush a day...on top of 16-20oz milk/formula and at least 4oz of water! Shane and I are in trouble when the boys get to teenage years - I am not sure that we will ever be able to keep enough food in the house!
Elliot has not connected with a security blanket; but, he will hunt down a pacifier at any opportunity he can...which only adds to the daily drool level.
Unlike Hayden, Elliot has several nicknames...Spud is the most common (even Hayden calls him this), Grumpy Gums (from before he had teeth, obviously), Eli, Elli-Puddle and the 'monster' (a term of endearment and love!). He does not seem to mind this and just appreciates the attention!
Here is a video of Elliot from today...his 10 month birthday!

We think he is absolutely adorable and so is Hayden. Two extremely wonderful, smart, funny, cute, and hilariously entertaining grandchildren! We love them both very very much!! Nana & Papa
Mr monster is just lovely and as you say, butter wouldn't melt in his mouth. I do feel sorry for him though as it doesn't look like he has many toys to play with!!!!! Enjoy both of the boys every minute of the day as the time does fly by all too quick. love you allxxx
