Last week, Elliot started repeating words back to us: "Bob" (our stroller), was first, followed by "Up" and most recently, "Sock". At first, it was just imitation, but he has caught on quickly to what "up" means, so i guess that's his first word. YAY Elliot!!!!!


(Actually, 'ball' ended up being his first official word, as it was the first one he said independently. He saw one, pointed , and said "Ball!" all on his own, no prompting.)

Elliot started waving and clapping today! So many other babies his age have been doing both for a few months, so it's good to see him finally catch on! He's only done both twice, so hopefully he'll get better in the next few days.

Last week, at 8.5 months old, he started climbing our stairs. Scary! He's very proud of himself. He cruises around the furniture in our livingroom with ease. He always wants to be holding something in his hands when he moves around: blocks, socks, rocks, other toys... such a monkey!
