- Elliot’s been talking a lot lately. Lots of mah-mah-mah’s, muh-muh-muh’s, and even a couple buh-buh-buh’s. No dah-dah-dah’s yet…

- The little man is almost crawling, but not quite yet. He’s pretty much got all the mechanics down separately, and he’s got the strength, but putting them all together isn’t happening yet. Sometimes he’ll get really excited while on his tummy, kicking his legs in the air repeatedly, holding his arms up above the ground, and squealing with excitement–all while going nowhere. Sorta like a turtle on its back, but inverted. :D

- Elliot is, however, rolling all over the place. He can mostly stay sitting upright, too, though we aren’t leaving him there for very long just yet.

- Profound statement of the week: It’s hot in Texas.

- Elliot finds sneezing to be absolutely hilarious.

- Here’s something just to freak you out: Tania and I are considering making our living room televisionless. (Gasp!)

- I still haven’t learned to stop saying “the” when referring to numbered freeways. For example, “Take the 10 to the 1604…”

- Why don’t I have any Texas-wear yet?

- My new favorite place to visit at lunch: Half Price Books.
