Strange Habits


In this picture, Elliot is staring at his image in the fireplace. We disabled our fireplace about a year ago by turning the gas off. Elliot enjoys tapping on the glass and the metal plate on the bottom of the unit. We have been discouraging him from doing this.
Something else he likes to do is to gurgle while crying. This makes it hard to feel sorry for him or to take his predicament seriously.
Other strange habits include chewing on the remote control (one of his favourite toys), wearing only one sock (the other is usually in his mouth) and attacking people who are holding him.
His attacks are mostly saved for his Aunty Michelle (Andrea's cousin) and they are getting more serious as he grows more teeth. But we are convinced that they are meant to be attacks of love.
One last strange habit of our son is when he drinks milk from his sippy cup. He sometimes will take sip after sip and with each sip, he'll pull the cup from his mouth and spit all the milk out.

Not included in the list of strange habits, but certainly a bit of an annoying habit is Elliot's growth. He is running out of clothes. Soon we will be dressing him in shopping bags. Just kidding.
