We are completely amazed at how quickly Elan is changing.  Just a few weeks ago Elan pulled himself up to standing for the first time and now he is walking around while holding onto things.  Also, when we go into his room to get him he is standing in his crib.  So, we are getting ready to pack away more "baby" items such as the exersaucer, jumper and bouncy chair...as you can see he is more interested in climbing on it than sitting in it.  Life is getting interesting!

9 Months Old!

Elan's on the move

Elan is crawling and scooting all over the place.  So, we have been rapidly trying to baby-proof the house.  We bought plugs for the outlets and a baby gate  for the living room.  However it will be no time before he is scaling the baby gate!

Elan also likes to ride around the house on Mat's shoulders.  He laughs and laughs and then drools all over Mat's head.  It is awesome.

Fun with Grandma and Grandpa Dav

Elan had a lot of fun this last week playing with Grandma and Grandpa Dav. He did lots of things such as...

Playing in his pool

Hanging with Grandpa

Eating dinner with the family

Reading with Grandma

Swinging at the park

Sunday Breakfast

Playing with Grandma

July Colorado Trip

Elan got to spend a lot of quality time with his cousins this weekend.  Elan really enjoyed spending time with them and we think that Mason and Gavin really enjoyed time with Elan as well.  Mason kept telling Gavin to "be nice to his baby" and Gavin kept pointing at Elan and saying "I want that baby".  It was great!

On Thursday we took train through Georgetown and Silver Plume.  While Mason and Gavin had a blast, the train took off right when Elan fell asleep on Grandma's shoulder.  However he took a powernap and woke up for the second part of the train ride.

On Saturday we went to Little Monkey Business for some serious play time.  Elan went down the big slide, stood on the bouncy, and enjoyed watching Mason and Gavin play.  It was a great weekend and we really wish we could have stayed longer!!
