Crawling
Finally got some good videos of Elliot crawling! These are each about a week or two apart and you can really see the phases... rolling, pivoting, crawling (well it's more like pulling, but it's close)!

Elliot is now an old pro at sitting and has focused his efforts on crawling. He's just figured out a semi army crawl but thankfully he doesn't get anywhere too fast and we can catch him before he gets to the stereo buttons! I have yet to catch this on video, but I'll keep trying.

Sitting

Elliot has been practicing sitting without any pillows. He's still a little top heavy, but getting better every time!

Business Journal names '40 Under Forty'
"At an awards ceremony held Thursday evening at the Minneapolis Club in downtown Minneapolis, 40 accomplished professionals in the fields of business, government and non-profits who are younger than forty were honored for their achievements."

... and Matt made the list!

We all know he works hard and we are very proud of him. It is amazing to be recognized along with such an influential group of area professionals!

A New Cousin!

This is Tate Matthew Zacharias, Elliot's new cousin! He was born this past Saturday, May 5th. Elliot is stoked to have a partner in crime... we can only imagine the trouble those two are going to get into :)

Elliot may be seeing us work on the computer a little too often; he's starting to pick it up!

Eating Rice Cereal, Take 1

Elloit's first try at eating rice cereal went very well. We were actually able to get a few bites in before he started to blow bubbles with a mouth full of cereal! We've tried a few more times since then and I think he is starting to get the point now. Click the links below to see Take 2 and Take 3.

Take 3

Elliot got some cool shades and swim trunks for Easter this year... thanks Easter Bunny =:o) And after church he got to spend some time playing with his bonus cousins, Eve and Camile!

Elliot's Baptism was two weeks ago on March 25th. He loved being a part of the service and didn't mind getting his hair a little wet... and he was greatful that he didn't have to wear a dress.
