Gonna get yo' belly!

He loves when I do this... though as you'll see he really just likes the anticipation!

Here's another one... Elliot enjoying his musical bug as well as wanting to eat it...

Trying a video... again... Elliot laughing.

Finding his voice

Elliot is being much more vocal, in both happy and distressed tones. He's making different, louder noises nearly everyday. We love trying to get him to laugh, and have found a few good ticklish spots! He's almost 5 months, and we plan to start him on solid foods shortly. Hopefully you can view the video... some recent laughing...

Happy 90th Birthday Grandma K!

It was so nice seeing everyone at my Grandma's 90th birthday party. She is looking very good these days. It was also Elliots first time meeting his Great Grandma. There was a lot of catching up to do with so many people there.


Elliot is doing great. I have been taking him swimming at least once a week. He doesn't seem to hate the water but he just stares at it. I can't tell yet if he likes it or not. I guess we'll have to get in a couple more swims to find out. Its nice that as he is getting older, we're both more comfortable taking him out. It doesn't help that the weather has been so cold lately but he has been to Babies R Us quite a bit :).

Penney's Pics

Here are a few shots from a recent sitting at Penney's.

Growing..and Drooling!

Wow...what a difference a couple months makes! Elliot has been putting on the pounds and drooling tons. He is starting to teeth (no teeth appear yet) and really make some noise. We read to him and sing to him a lot too. It was Claires first birthday this past weekend. The theme was cupcakes and the cupcakes were delicious!! Claire was so cute with her cake-she tried putting her foot in it!
The first picture was taken last. Patrick pointed out to me that it looks like he can hold his head up. I'm having trouble downloading other pictures right now, so I'll work on the blog later!
