He knows his name

Elliot is now 41 weeks outside his Maker's knitting womb. He's been out more than in.

We can't explain to him:
why his parents keep looking at him;
what good a car seat is;
the benefit of keeping his hands under his blanket thus warm hands all night;
gravity's effect if we had let him dive off the couch;
and how to blow his nose.

He knows the goodness of:
a hot bath and the delightfulness of splashing in the tub;
his mother's sweet voice;
three little teeth crushing a cheerio;
watching and pointing at life out the window;
and Mom and Dad singing out of tune is just fine.

He got a quick sip of dad's coffee when mom wasn't looking. He seemed to want more.
