D comes for Thanksgiving

Uncle Dallas came and took Natalie for her first swing on Thanksgiving.

Eyes (increasingly) Open!

Two faces of Elliot

Grumpy and Surprised faces.

Halloween - costumed pair

Tigger -- eyes crossed and looking ahead thinking "dude, is that my nose? What's that hand thing in front of my face? Don't I have paws?"

Elliot's 2nd birthday continued

The Navarros (our neighbors) brought Elliot a pinata loaded with toys. Over two weeks later he continues to talk about this thing that spilled forth toys.

Elliot's 2nd birthday

Spiderman (aka Eli-bi-bo) hung out with elephantes (Piper), dragons (Zoe), ladybugs (Madeline) and lot of other creatures including grandma's at the gym in the park for his birthday.

Elliot as a mini baseball-er

So, I'm convinced when Elliot gets older and actually tries to hit the ball, he'll swing and miss. However, right now, he has an uncanny ability to hit the ball virtually every time. The parental units do, however, continue to fear for the safety of their digits.

Elliot as a mini basketball star

Elliot loves shooting the ball. I think it's the hours at Wicker Park seeing the older kids on the court. Thank goodness no one lives below us. Dribbling and shooting a full-sized basketball would make for some pretty unhappy neighbors.

Ponties

We went to a friend's birthday party in Evanston. They rented ponies (or 'ponties' as Elliot calls them) and gave out cowboy hats. Elliot loved it. He also insisted on wearing dad's yellow Dorky Vest. The party was just a few blocks from Grandma Bonnie's place for an added bonus.
