Some things.

Here are some things you might want to know:

~ We had Elliott's 4-month check-up. It was great! Here are his new stats:

Head: 16.5 (45%)
Height: 25.5 (80%)
Weight: 14 lb, 7 oz. (50%)

~ Guess who has slept 8 hours straight for TWO NIGHTS in a row!?!?

~ This is such a fun age. Elliott is super curious to explore his world ... wanting to reach and touch and hold everything. But not old enough to get mad when he can't have something. It's wonderful.

~ The doctor told us we could start cereal/food whenever we are ready, between now and 6 months. We are in no hurry ... check back at probably the last possible day.

~Elliott has officially become a thumb-sucker. It's actually adorable ... but is this a mistake? This will probably get it's own post soon.

~ I'll spare you the details, but it's been 6 days. We're resorting to mixing prune juice into his bottle today, and waiting for the onslaught. Good times.

~ We've had some yucky sickness at our house this week but Elliott seems to have escaped. He and dad had a couple of days of bonding while I was totally out of commission. Adam is such a great dad, and gets an extra gold star for taking care of both of us completely this week!

Big boy in overalls!


Elliott is still LOVING his exersaucer. We can't imagine life without it.
