more pictures

on our entertainment center, we opened the bottom portion for elliot's toys. she loves to crawl in and pull things out one by one. she also loves anything paper so she can destroy it. while getting ready for bed the other night, she took to pulling out a cosmopolitan magazine. it was a very interesting choice of a "bed time story"! the others are after she ransacked my pear and decided she wanted to eat it more than i did, and using her awesome new baby sigg bottle.

tootsle toodle

here's a few more of the tootsle. her first ride in a swing at the park. the other, i put her in her crib while i was doing dishes and she fell asleep face planted into her bumper. too cute!

new photos

nicknames

in my family, nobody is ever called their actual names; my brother's name is arthur, but he's called buddy, or budrick sackington, or sack. my mom, is not even just mom, but migmama. me, I'm leighB, leighberschmidt, schmitty, mama, goose. mike is goose, father, stinky. so it comes as no surprise to anyone that elliot has a million and a half nicknames. i was just sitting here thinking about how many names she does in fact have, and it's kind of insane. so here's a list of at least what i can think of right now:
ellliot smelliot
stinker
stinky
mama
mama toots
toots
tootsie
noodle
stinky sue
nooner
noonie
baby elliot
pigger
pot belly
beller
beeper
cutie
super cutie
cuter
boots
bootsie
nugget
noodle nugget
chubber
lady
little
monkey
booger face
chubba wubba
hobbit
buddah
buddah beller

i'm sure there are more, but i realized that it's pretty insane how many things we actually call her other than elliot. and i love it.

creepy crawler

here's the little lady doing a crawl. yay for mobility! though, my gosh, it does make doing anything so much more difficult for me; i peel my eyes away for a second before she's into something that she shouldn't be. we love this little lady so much :o)

and some cutie photos, too.

enjoying some delicious avocado and banana

and being silly with crazy hairs.
