California

Here's Elliot's newest trick. He picked this up the third day we got here and has just gotten better and better.



Well our time in California has been good so far. With Thanksgiving around the corner and a possible trip to San Diego, it seems impossible to get a job. So we've just been hanging out. I've taken a lot of pictures (Natasha is getting bored of it) and we have played with Elliot. We went and visited Scott and Melissa Caldwell in Newark which was fun. We have watched some movies in HD on my dad's 60-something inch screen TV. We will be in Provo next week from Tuesday until Tuesday visiting my brother who just had a new baby Adam. It is going to be fun to have a lot of family around for Thanksgiving.

Well I guess I'll include some pictures I've taken.

We're Off To Califonia. The wonderful California (sung to the tune of "We're off to see the Wizard")

Well we are boarding a plane today for sunny California, where no one really cares about anything.


I'm just joking. We are excited to go. I haven't been there in over a year... or maybe even two years. I can't even remember the last time I was there. I can't wait for my parents to hang out with Elliot. He is a lot of fun now. He is a handful, a big handful, but he does the cutest things. My parents haven't seen him since all he could do with sleep, wake up and lay there with his eyes open. Boy are they in for a shock.
Expect posts with pictures from San Diego, San Francisco, and, my home town, Tracy.

Teeth

After 9 Months, Elliot is finally getting some teeth. Click on the picture to see it bigger. Everyone has told us that there is really no set time when the teeth should come, but we were starting to get worried. So now he has these two little bumpy guys poking up at the same time from the bottom. He has been a lot more whiny lately, but never really inconsolable. We have tried to give him all sorts of things that are cold or rubbery to make him feel better, but either none of them work, or none of them hold his interest long enough to work. Even with these two little nubs he can already smash cheerios and eat stuff from our plates. He has tried potatoes, chili, mandarin oranges, marshmallows, tortilla chips, and other things. I think after 9 months of flavorless rice cereal, formula, and barely flavored baby foods, it is a bizarre experience for him to try flavors. Watching his face is fun. He usually doesn't like anything at first, but then he gets used to it and ends up liking it. He is like his father and eats a lot. My mom said that the later the teeth come in the straighter they will be. So, if that's true, he will have pretty straight ones.
This other picture is just a picture of him I took that I like.
