Elliot is one year old! Holy cow.

What a month. The Morrissey/DeMeyer family picked up stakes and moved from Chicago to Los Angeles. Elliot met lots of new people, hosted Grandma for a few days, and turned ONE! NBD.


Fresh from Chicago and resting up with a new LA friend to Elliot, an old Michigan friend to Mom and Dad. Auntie Alex for the win!


Grandma came in to help Mom and Elliot get settled in before Dad arrived.


Everyone is pretty pleased with the arrangement.


Grabbing some lunch between errands in LA. Elliot believes that everything is a toy, which comes in handy on the go.


Elliot pulled himself up for the first time and immediately tried to eat his crib. Babies be hungry!


After a week or two of settling in, Elliot and Mom flew out to Colorado Springs to hang out with the family Price. More fun times at airports!


Meeting a wallaby at the Chayenne Mountain Zoo. Pretty sure Elliot thinks it’s a cat.


Napping at the Denver airport before heading home (seven hours late. Mom has Feelings about that.) to LA.


Visit from Auntie Rosie and Uncle Brad! And some quality time with ball pit balls.


Play time is intense. Breaks are necessary.


There are many play times on a blanket in the front yard these days. Today’s special feature was playing with Mom’s shoes. For too long.


Also snuggles with Pua. Elliot is a big fan of kissing Pua right on his piggy face.


Birthday snuggles with Dad!


Cake time – we hoped for a Hulk smash, instead got suspicious investigation.
