now back to the blog...

Ok, I know its been awhile. Thank you all for the e-mails wondering what the heck happened to us and why did it seem like we dropped off the face of the earth. Well, we moved to Illinois which is pretty much like dropping off the face of the earth. A lot has happened since we left Connecticut - Elliott had his first birthday, he had his first cream puff at the Wisconsin State Fair, we moved, we settled in, we had visitors. Instead of trying to catch you all up on everything that has happened, we'll just start fresh with the here and now. Also, you might have noticed, I changed the title of this blog from "Daily Observations" to "Some Observations" since I never made any attempt to make observations daily. Anyways, to start you off, Elliott's Aunt Katie & 5 month old cousin, Sofia came to stay with us a couple days and Elliott loved them. Here's a little video of Elliott with Sofia. Sofia shows off her rolling and tummy time skills. Elliott burps, shows off how much he loves to poke Sofia, and gives her Elliott kisses (where he places his forehead against yours and shakes his head back & forth).
