Another month has flown by and Elliott is now 7 months old. He is babbling more and more each day and seems to have a very happy disposition. He is a very happy baby until you try to lay him down in a crib and leave him 🙂 He loves to be held and loves people to play with him. Over the past month, he has started eating more solid foods and seems to like most things he eats. Many times, he is just content sitting at the dinner table with us chewing on a spoon. He has also started to sit up on his own now. He still falls over every now and then, but can sit up unsupported for a good period of time. One thing he does not like to do is roll. You would think he would love the freedom, but he gets upset when you try to get him to roll over. He is content laying on his stomach or back, but does not seem interested in rolling on his own. I am sure that will change soon. His only word is still “dada”. I have tried to get him to say “mama”, but he just looks at me and smiles.
We are really looking forward to celebrating his first Christmas next week. Laurel excitedly told him “Elliott!!….It’s your first Christmas!!” I wish I cold have recorded it on video because she was super excited and it was so cute. She also likes pointing out the ornament with his picture on it on the Christmas tree at their pre-school.
I have been horrible about posting updates, photos and videos, but I am sure we will get some up during and after the holiday.
Merry Christmas!
