compare and contrast, everyone at 8 months

Mama was trying to decide whom I look most like at 8 months.

me

I look a bit like bruce except huskier, and less rashy

I have a lot of similar expressions as big sissy

not quite as similar as Ollie, except in bulk, he still favors mama's side of the family more than any of the rest of us!

8 months old!

always with the bent toes

T-ball on a saturday morning is one of the greatest joys of parenting. Oh and Bruce really likes it too!

Adorable Eliot on a plane

Eliot was an amazing traveller the last week. He barely even fussed on either plane ride (including on plane layovers both ways) and was very charming to passengers and flight attendants. He was a super awesome and cute traveling companion.
Most of these shots are from my camera-phone when I was allowed to snap pics on the plane

getting ready to fly home!

chewing on carrots and being hilarious while we wait for people to reboard in ST Louis

To Texas and back

Eliot and mama spent 5ish days visiting friends. It was a grand time!
