Elijah makes me laugh often. I smile, giggle and watch in awe as he discovers the world. Never before have I laughed so hard as I did tonight...
Date: Saturday, August 29
Time: 7:36 pm
Location: Living Room
Adam and I are on the couch, and Elijah is playing on the floor, walking and crawling back and forth between the living room and the hallway. Yesterday, he began crawling on his hands and knees (still seems to prefer the "army crawl") but I had yet to see him in action. He's wobbling around and falls so decides it would be easier to crawl to the couch to assist him in standing back up. He gets up on his hands and knees and goes for it. I'm so excited, cheering him on (on the inside - I didn't want to distract him and have him flop back down to his tummy). Just then his binky falls from his mouth, 5 inches to the floor. I must warn you - what comes next put me in hysterical tears, however it might have been a "mom" thing and you might think I'm nuts. Instead of using his hand to pick the binky back up and put in back in place in his mouth, he lowers his head and grabs with his teeth. He doesn't get it head on though so instead bites on the side of it and finishes his short journey to the couch. I never laughed so hard... he looks just like Daisy; on all fours with a toy hanging out the side. He loves that dog so much and I guess he's learning more from her than we think.
Like I said... you might think I'm nuts, but it will forever be one of my most favorite Elijah memories :)
You are not nuts.....this is too funny, I can just picture this and it cracked me up.
