tooth #10
Elliott's lower right molar came in today. There are still no signs that his blood blister is going away, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it will be gone soon and not cause him any pain.

Blood Blister
Poor baby!
At the pediatrician's office yesterday Dr. Davis was looking to see if Elliott had any new teeth and she found a blood blister on his gums! :( She said it is completely normal, and that sometimes when teeth start to come through, a little bleeding happens under the gums and forms a small blood blister or bruise. Isn't that just about the saddest thing you've ever heard? His tooth hasn't come through yet, and I'm wondering what will happen once it does. I'm curious to see if the blister will pop and bleed in his mouth or if I'll even know that it's gone. I guess we'll see!

12 month appointment
Weight: 21lbs 13oz
Height: 31in
Head Circumference: 47cm
Elliott could NOT sit still at this appointment! He walked all around the room (holding on to the furniture) and when he had to sit on the table, he wanted to do anything BUT sit! He tried standing, and then found that the paper beneath him made crinkle noises, so of course he wanted to destroy it. I was so proud of him when Dr. Davis checked his ears, mouth, nose, eyes, and breathing -- he was super still! I couldn't have asked him to behave any better!
He got three shots at this visit. He was very still for the nurse, but as soon as she got the first needle in his right leg, his eyes welled up with tears and his jaw dropped open, his face turned bright red and as soon as he could catch his breath he let out the saddest little (loud) cry I've ever heard. (ok, probably not ever...) The nurse gave him two shots in his left leg and then I got to pick him up from the table. He only cried for about 90 seconds, and the nurse joked that she went from being his best friend to his worst enemy. Good thing he probably won't remember even getting shots next time he goes in for an appointment (15 month well visit).

Birthday Doughnut
Elliott and I went to Krispy Kreme on his birthday for a Mommy-Son birthday doughnut. He was so serious about it, but we both had so much fun! Everyone there told him 'Happy Birthday' and made a big deal about him turning 1! (You'll see two customers in the video that stop and talk to us and tell him 'Happy Birthday'.) I think this is going to become a yearly tradition for us :)

Sharing Cherrios with Scarlett
Tonight Elliott's friend, Scarlett, came over to play while her parents went to see the new Harry Potter movie. Elliott and Scarlett had fun sharing their snack, and Elliott really enjoyed feeding Scarlett a few of the Cherrios.

Clapping!
He claps!
Earlier this week I told Matt something like this, "I'm going to work on clapping this week with Elliott. I want him to be able to clap at his birthday party!" I had been wanting Elliott to clap for about a month now, but had never even showed him how to clap or said anything to him about it.
Matt is going to be out of town today through Saturday, and today around lunchtime he was home waiting on a ride to the airport. He went to change Elliott's diaper and while he was in the middle of changing it, Elliott started clapping! I was so happy for two reasons: 1) Elliott was clapping! 2) Matt was the first one to see it! Since I'm home with Elliott every day, I get to see a lot of his firsts. It just so happened to work out that Matt was home in the middle of a random day and that day was the one that Elliott chose to clap! YAYYYY!
