I haven't had the time to actually write anything on the blog lately. So.... Elliott is army crawling (albeit uncoordinatedly) these days. Only if it's toward something she really wants. She pretty much only really wants things she's not supposed to have, such as my computer, electrical cords or Kate's drink. For the last month, she has also been getting up on all fours and rocking. I think she'll be full out crawling pretty soon. By the time Kate was this age, she was all over the place! Along with army crawling, she can now push herself up from her tummy to a sitting position.

Elliott is also becoming a more adventurous eater. The food horizon has finally (willingly) expanded beyond peas. I have even started giving her a few puffs every now and then. Puffs are a hot commodity around here these days. Since Elliott seems to like puffs, Kate has developed a sudden liking for them as well. I tried to tell her puffs are for babies, but she isn't buying it.

Speaking of Kate and food, we took the girls to the Chick-Fil-A family night last night. I think this is the first time Kate really enjoyed it (we haven't taken her to family night since Elliott was born). She was obsessed with wanting to know where the cow was at all times. I think she was equal parts intrigued and freaked out by the cow (honestly, the cow kind of creeps me out a little too). She wanted to go up and see it, but Matt said when they got up close she had him in a death grip. All day today she kept asking, "cow? where it go? outside?" I think she wanted to make sure it wasn't going to make a surprise appearance at our house. I assured her the cow was at Chick-Fil-A. All ten times she asked.
