My sweetie cakes, has begun to explore the world, and manipulate it. Which for the most part is darling, but sometimes he’s becoming a little bit of a troublemaker. Don’t believe me?
Here’s the proof:
EVERYTHING GOES TO HIS MOUTH
which I know is normal, and a great way for him to learn, but I am constantly pulling things out of his mouth.
I was out working in the yard, weeding flowerbeds, when I saw this:
His brothers apple in his mouth. Now that is pretty cute.
And then a few minutes later, it was this:
Grass.
And More Grass.
And Even more grass.
Now I know that grass and apples don’t hurt him….it’s the small rocks or Legos (accidentally left behind from the big brothers), or a cheerio he finds beneath the couch that worry me!
HE LOVES TO ROLL and ROLL and ROLL AROUND.
Especially in the front room, where there is a great space for rolling…
That is until he gets under the coffee table, leans up on his arms, and therefore get stuck.
Then he’ll holler until you get him out from under there. Once he’s up on those arms, he’s there until he’s out from under there.
HE ALSO LEARNING HOW TO PUSH and PULL THINGS…
Like my pencil basket or my other basket full of important papers.
Those are going to have to be moved!
So around our house all eyes are on the Eli, I’m hoping that he’ll grow out of this trouble maker phase quicky…but unfortunately experience has shown me that it might not be for awhile!

The amazing thing about Elliot sticking things in his mouth is not what he sticks in there, but how quickly you can finger sweep those things out- a very important mom-skill that you have completely mastered!
What cute pics of Elliot. He has grown so much lately. Love all of you.

That picture of him spitting out the grass is priceless.
True babyproofing doesn’t happen until they are toddlers anyway.
Ah. . .the joys of a toddler in training!! 🙂
I love that last picture of Elliot spitting out the grass – it cracks me up! What a cute little inquisitive dude. 🙂
