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
