Yay! Eliot's almost 1 1/2 and this is the first time that I'm posting on his blog. Here is a picture of Jimmy trying to give Eliot a "Mohawk" but his hair was too long! And as a side note, I've been studying Eliot language lately and so far I have decifered a few words; Eliot's "no-no-no" has been translated as the word "No", "uh-uh-oh" is probably the word "Uh-Oh", "ahl-duh" is actually "all-done", "mom!-mum!-mum!" is the phrase for "I would very much like to nurse now please!", the word for "Hi!" is often pronounced as "Hi!" but sometimes "Hieght!", he often says "diss" and I have yet to determine if that is the word for "kiss" or "this", and "mbPsss" is actually "please".

Yesterday was a beautiful rainy day... Eliot had a fun time around town in his yellow macintosh. He looked like a little duck, and Marleen said he was a little pato, so we decided that his nickname for the day should be patito. ("little duck")

Here's a picture of the patito on the porch of our new house:
