Uncle Clayton is Cool

Elliot often saves his widest smiles for his aunts and uncles so we weren't surprised at all to see his pearly white teeth when Uncle Clayton arrived last week. He hasn't stopped smiling much since. Uncle Clayton is a great play mate and an excellent conversationalist. Walking, running, swinging and face attacks (you have to experience it to understand what it means) are just a few of their favourite activities. In fact they even invented a game of their own called the "upside down game" where Uncle Clayton holds his hands as Elliot stands and dips his head all the way back so that everything is upside down.

We have been going on quite a few outings while Uncle Clayton has been here. Whiterock and the Zoo and Granville Island so far. Perhaps Stanley Park this weekend. We've watched quite a few Simpsons episodes and danced to the Wiggles quite a few times as well.

Elliot is eating lots of Cheerios, grapes, cookies and crackers on his own now. He is very close to walking on his own (taking a few steps here and there). Sometimes he doesn't even realize he is standing on his own and as soon as he does he falls down.

Uncle Clayton bought a french baguette today.
