Baby Love Mania

So, at one of our showers, we got this awesome book called Baby Love (I think from Syd and Taylor, if I'm remembering correctly?). It's one of those great fabric-y books with different panels so it can stand up on it's own. We have used it from almost day #1 with Elliott ... he has spent many hours staring at it but has recently developed a new affinity for it that I can only think of one word to describe .... manic.

Yes, he's totally crazy about it and sometimes I think he might explode from excitement over it.

It always starts off tame ... here he his kissing the elephant.

But soon it turns to all-out body involvement and he starts violently flailing his arms and legs while holding the book:




Then flailing turns to rolling, so by this point, he has fully wrapped himself IN the book and is flailing AND rolling all at the same time. Basically it looks like he clothes himself in the book and then just basks in the glory of it. We need to clear off our video camera to make room for some video of it because it's really crazy.

Here are a few photos to describe what we mean:


Can you even stand the excitement?!?
