Elliott is 4 months old (Friday)!
Go Pack!
We haven’t taken the 4-month “chair” picture yet, but I did get to capture this smiley guy in the crib this morning! And, his 4-mo doc’s appt is next week, so no weight/height measurements at this time, but he is a big, happy guy!
Personality: Smiley, Happy, Easygoing. We are so lucky…. we’re finding it a little challenging to work full-time and have 2 kids, so I cannot imagine what life would be like if Elliott didn’t generously share his smiles and wasn’t so understanding of Natalie’s desire for A LOT of attention.
Milestones: On Wed, he rolled over from his tummy to his back! Tonight, I was kissing all over his cheek and he could see my reflection in the mirror. He thought it was funny and giggled. We have gotten a few laughs out of him. He also is teething like mad. Everything goes in his mouth.
Schedule: After I returned to work, it seems like Elliott decided he should start waking up during the night. So, I’m feeding him at least once at night and then early in the morning, between 5:30 – 6:30. If/when he peeps at other times of the night, Jordan attends to him. I say it’s because Elliott smells me and would want to eat automatically, but let’s be honest, I feel like I’m waking up enough at night as it is!
New Toys: Elliott has just started playing with his exersaucer. This toy has gotten a lot of use – Natalie loved it, cousin Gavin borrowed and now it’s Elliott’s turn! Maybe we’re trying it out Elliott when he’s younger than Natalie was, or maybe because he is less girthy, but we wrap towels around his trunk to give him more support. Thanks Auntie Linda for the gift that keeps on giving!
If I could only get a little closer, then I could put all this awesome stuff in my mouth!
Grandma also pointed out that yesterday, Natalie was 31 months and Becky and I are both 31 years. Something only a Grandma would notice! 🙂
