an aunt and a new friend

 aunt andrea visited for a whole week!  elliott was so happy, but mommy was also happy to have more hands on deck ; )

we also visited andrea's friends and elliott made a new friend who is 1 month younger.  he bonded by eating his friend's foot.

Then he received a more permanent friend in the mail - we got him a new stuffed animal puppy.  Hopefully he likes it!

Off to the zoo!

At the Arctic Ring of Life where you can see seals and polar bears swimming over you in the water if you're lucky

He was so exhausted from the zoo and lunch afterward that he didn't stir at all even when Andrea tried to wake him up the whole way home
