Elliot Attacks Photographer

Cloverdale: No one was hurt in a recent attack by an unwilling subject upon a haunting photographer early yesterday evening. Nine month old Elliot Ashton had clearly had enough attention and this poor photographer bore the straw that broke the proverbial camel's back. Hospital officials say the photographer suffered no serious injuries. No word on if any charges will be laid. CP

We haven't any pictures to verify the following story, but I thought I should share it anyways.
Yesterday while I was at work, Andrea was trying to convince Elliot to put on some clothes in his room upstairs. While he was playing (as opposed to dressing) he started playing with one of his new favourite toys, a plastic cup from the kitchen. He put the plastic cup in his mouth and held it in his mouth while he crawled about the room. He began to crawl towards his crib. What he hadn't quite figured out was that with the plastic cup in his mouth, the cup covered his eyes and he couldn't see where he was going. He kept crawling towards his crib. Then he finished crawling towards his crib by running directly into his crib. He took a moment to consider the situation, then proceeded along the exact same path towards his crib with the exact same result.

Other cool things Elliot did yesterday:

- crawled through a kitchen chair (like an obstacle course, over and under certain bars, through gaps and through to the other side).
- climbed headfirst down some stairs (hopefully his last time doing that).
- climbed outside throught the exterior double doors onto the patio of Andrea's parent's house.

He is much better at falling down from standing up now. Which has encouraged him to try more dangerous stunts.
