At twelve months old, Elliott loves

-Playing with his Sand and Water table that Jeff made him for his birthday. 
-Being outside and playing with sticks
-His Mr. Puppy Dog lovey (we will say "where's puppy dog" and he will go looking for him)
-Curious George cartoon 
-Dogs in general. He loves when they lick him. 
-Shaking his head "no" 

At twelve months old, Elliott dislikes
-being told "no"

-socks and shoes
