6 Months!

Again, I'm a little behind, but here are some recent photos of our precious boy.  We are enjoying the nice weather & have been spending some time outside & going to the park.  Elliott is sitting up very well now and we think we'll have a crawler within a few weeks. :)

Love,

Updates!

So I thought I would be better... I know I say it every time I post, but life just keeps chugging along & I'm still learning to keep up. :)  I take a lot of photos, but don't always have time to upload them.  I really am trying to be better about it.  Here are several recent photos of Elliott.  He is growing so fast & getting so big!  We just can't believe he is already 5 months old.  He brings so much joy & love into our lives.  Thanks for looking!

Love,
*M, T, & E*

Three Months

I guess it has been about a month since I last posted photos.  Time just gets away.  I know I say that every time, but I just can't believe how fast it flies by.  We have a THREE month old!  WOW!  He is the most precious baby.  So sweet & a really good sleeper.  We are truly blessed!  We are all doing good and trying to enjoy every moment with our "Boo Boo". 

Love,
*T, M & E*




This is Elliott in his Halloween costume.  I wasn't going to dress him up, but I just had to since it was his very first Halloween.  I picked out a lion costume to crochet him before he was born but I did not have time to do it.  I decided to look up patterns & found this one on a blog.  I modified it a bit, but it turned out so cute!  Plus I looked up his Zodiak sign and he is a Leo so it was perfect.

On November 2nd we went to visit Nana & Papa and celebrate my dad's birthday.  My cousin Megan came over and brought her baby Kerrington.  She is 5 weeks older than Elliott.  This was the first time they met & I think they liked each other. :)   The next day we went to see Aunt Steph at work.  The bottom photos are of the first toy Elliott has grabbed onto, a photo of him with his favorite finger in his mouth & a Christmas light photo experiment I was trying out. :)

He LOVES his bath time every night.  This rubber ducky is the first toy he has reached out to touch.  He likes it a lot.




He loves to sit straight up now.  I took these this morning while he was sitting in my lap.  He doesn't like to lean back very much.  He wants to see what's going on.  He's getting really strong.

2 Months

Well it seems like time is just flying by & here I am posting Elliott's TWO month picture!  We are enjoying this sweet little baby so much.  He has brought so much joy to our lives.  I thought I would be better about updating this blog, but time just gets away.  Here are some photos I've taken in the last week.

Enjoy!

Here Elliott was trying to talk to me while I was taking his photo.  I love his expressions. :)

This is something I have been wanting to do for a while.  It's not the first time I have taken photos of him waking up because it is so funny.  He is really animated when he is first waking up so I just snapped several shots in a row.  I don't ever want to forget all these funny faces.  I love them!

I just love the sweet expression he has here.  I don't think he is camera shy at all, thank goodness!

Five Weeks

Wow, were has the time gone?  I can't believe that Elliott is already five weeks old.  Our days seem to fly by and I haven't had time to update the blog.  I have been taking photos, but its just hard to find the time to sit down and post them. :)  So, here are some photos taken over that last few weeks.

Enjoy!

Elliott's One Month Photo.  He is changing so fast already!

Daddy & Elliott listening to music.  (Michael likes to do this late at night on the weekends)

I laid Elliott in his crib for a few minutes & when I came back saw he was just staring at the whales.  I think he really likes the contrast.

Trixi was in town about a week ago so she, Tara & Kaylee came up to visit.  We had some good sister time which we don't get enough of.

Elliott got to meet his great-grandmother (Nana) for the first time & he loved her.  He slept in her arms the whole time we were there.  Those arms have rocked many babies over the years... 5 kids, 15 grandkids & 10 great-grandkids!  

He also got meet his Pa-paw (Tammy's dad) for the first time.  He loved him too & spit up all over him. haha!

August 31st

Today Elliott had his 2 week check up.  I can't believe my baby is already going to be 3 weeks old on Friday.  Time is flying by!  He got another A+ from Dr. McGee.  He is up to 8lbs. 6oz.  She was very pleased with his weight gain & told me to give myself a pat on the back.  She was also impressed with the way he is holding his head up.  She said he shouldn't know how to do that yet, but he's been doing that since week one.  He is a strong little guy.  He is doing well with his feedings but still trying to get on a schedule.  Once we get him down at night he is sleeping anywhere from 4-6 hrs so we are very happy about that.  He seems to still be a bit of a night owl though wanting to stay up until 1:00 a.m. or so, but sleeps well after that.  This does not mix well with mama...  I'm not a night owl, but I'm learning to be.  It's amazing how God seems to adjust things to just work out.  I've stayed up later that I ever have these last few weeks.  I'll keep my fingers crossed he keeps sleeping this well too.  That's all I have for now & of course I have a photo to share.  I made this hat for him while I was pregnant, but it is almost too small already.  I'm glad I got a photo before he out grew it.  Enjoy!

Love,
Tammy, Michael & Elliott
