Standing up!

On Saturday, we went to a housewarming BBQ for our friends Tegan and Paul.  Elliott was very excited to crawl around (and eat) nice grass (their lawn is in much better shape than ours).  Here are some pictures from the afternoon.

Going after the big ball


Almost there . . . 

But stopped short for a rest.

Who needs a jungle gym when you can just climb on Daddy?

Every baby's favorite target, a beer bottle.

Elliott loves pulling himself up to standing on anything and everything.  He wobbles when he's standing but is getting stronger with each passing day.  On a slick floor, he sometimes goes into a split.  Other times, it looks like he's standing more on the side of his foot, or ankle, than the sole.  Over the weekend, he started holding on with one hand and reaching out with the other.  Husband, better keep up with the baby-proofing! We're going to have an early walker. 

Mama!  The sun is in my face!

Did I hear someone say "guacamole?"
