I was editing some old drafts and lost the date that I originally wrote this. I think it is from some time in April of 2011...Becky, do you remember when Elliot started drinking from a straw?
My very good friend had a baby exactly 17 days before Hattie was born. Becky and I enjoyed being pregnant together and now we are REALLY enjoying our babies together. Our families had a dinner and grocery shopping date last night(you do what you have to do to have a social life, right?) And Hattie and Elliot just STARED at each other. Elliot kept reaching out to touch Hattie's hair and they held hands a couple of times. Mr. Elliot has started leaning on his hand to sit unassisted for a few minutes, which we were VERY proud of! He's been eating cereal for a couple of weeks, and last night Becky and her hubby were buying avocados and sweet potatoes to start doing some baby-led solids this week. Hattie was quite jealous of Elliot's diverse diet, but I asked her to be patient. She agreed and went back to her Hattie Snacks.
At the end of our date, Elliot was reaching for a cup of water. Becky let him chew on the straw and...HE DRANK IT! Of course it was immediately spit out, but it was still fun.I love watching the two of them meeting milestones and look forward to them growing up together.
