grind

How is it that a kid with a total of three teeth can actually sit there grinding them? Weird……
Oh, and yesterday he did his first back to front roll!

I should really do this chronologically…
Elliot’s third tooth came through last Tuesday (and it’s been a week before I told everyone!) It came and went a few times but popped through after a week or so of pain.
My day with Elliot sans Vic went really well but was almost pointless at the same time. Vic was gone for about 9 hours and Elliot drank a grand total of 30ml (about an ounce) during the whole day! The only time he got grumpy was when I tried to feed him – otherwise he was an absolute joy, the little bugger. Not surprisingly he’s fed really well since….
I played an hour and a half of tennis with a colleague this afternoon and am so sore. I won 6-4, 6-1 but, damn, I’m paying for it! The fact that I could even hit the ball pleased me greatly since I was pretty shite the last time I hit a ball – 8 years ago!

starving

So Saturday is going to be the “Elliot-needs-to-learn-to-take-a-bottle-with-formula-so-he’ll-damn-well-learn-during-a-whole-day-without-mum-or-starve” day 
Max wasn’t too bad so we’ll see how Elliot goes. We had a few hours a while back and I must be an uncaring bastard because my Mum, who was visiting, was heartbroken by Elliot’s screams of hunger. I on the other hand knew that he wouldn’t starve in a morning and that if he cried for an hour he’d get tired and sleep for a while!

brothers

For the most part Max and Elliot get on OK. Elliot adores Max and he’ll follow him with his eyes all day. Max, on the other hand, can take or leave his little brother I think 
At times he loves him to bits (but doesn’t realise he’s much bigger) and at other times he’s just a jealous, attention craving monster – which I think is normal
Here they are showing each other some brotherly love.

food, food, glorious food

One thing I have quite forgotten to mention is that Elliot had his first “solid” food yesterday! A bit of baby rice was all it was but by today, and his second crack at it, he seems to have gotten the hang of swallowing food.
