Ned & Elliott

Elliott and Ned spent quality time together today. Ned is really excited to teach Elliott all sorts of things as he gets bigger. Ned is so cute when he talks about Elliott. He knows they are cousins and that Elliott used to be in Autie Em's belly (that's why it was so big, which he pointed out often when I was pregnant). Here are some pictures of the two of them together.

Ned wondered about all of Elliott's noises (grunts, squeeks, burps, etc.)

Ned was showing Elliott his big book of heavy equipment.

Elliott wasn't too impressed in this picture.

Happy Birthday Grandma!

Elliott has a special message for his Grandma today.

Happy Birthday!!

5 years later

We went for a walk at Knox Farm on Tuesday. It's been a little over 5 years since we were married on this very spot and now we went back as a family.

August 5, 2006

Here are a couple more pictures of our wedding day. I still think of that wonderful day often. I married a wonderful man -- and we had a really great party!!

One month old!

Elliott turned one month old on Sunday. He also had his first bottle of pumped milk. This boy is an eater. He polished off the whole bottle in less than five minutes. We went to his one month doctor's appointment on Monday. His measurements confirmed his rapid growth. He now weighs 10 lbs, 11 oz, putting him in the 75th percentile for weight (he was 8 lbs, 6 oz at birth). He's in the 95th percentile for height!! He was 20.5 inches at birth and measured 23.25 inches at one month. Can you imagine gaining 25% of your body weight and growing 15% of your height in one month??

Elliott does really well in his bath bucket these days. He posed for this picture this morning. See how good he is at holding his head up!

Jesse and his boy

Our friends Rachel and Diego came over for dinner last night. After dinner, Elliott entertained us with alert happy time following a marathon feeding (seemed to be his M.O. yesterday). I was able to get some great shots of Jesse and Elliott.

Showing off muscles

Elliott supports his own head. He's still a bit wobbly and occasionally flops over.
