Hi Grandmom

It's nice to meet you.

I finally got the hang of the Bumbo.
Yeah me! 

4 month update

We went to our 4 month appointment on May 16th. Elliot now weighs 12 pounds 7 ounces and is 24 and 1/4 inches long. His head is 40 cm round. He is now in the 25% for both weight and height. He is growing well but still the "little peanut man" as my parents say. He got 3 shots and was not happy. They made him irritable for 2 days. The doctor said we could start solid food if we want but I told him we are going to wait at least another month due to prior stomach issues. We are trying white grape juice to help with constipation (hopefully it won't hurt his stomach like the pear juice). He will be starting vitamins as well. On a great note...he is sleeping through the night. This is night 5 where he slept from 8:30pm-6:00am. Dad is super happy because Elliot dropped the feeding he had to get up for. The teething process has started but a tooth is a long way away.

Funky do

This is natural...no product or nothing 

Electrodes

Like my electrodes...they go so well with my diaper (they are the perfect accessory) 

Big tub

First time in the big tub. 

Not so happy

2 minutes after getting out of the bath. Put me back, put me back! 

Happy again

I love the changing table. 

Bumbo

How do you work this thing?
Maybe I am not ready for the Bumbo yet! 

Tummy time

I actually liked tummy time today! 

Visit to Washington DC

We took our annual trip to DC to do the Brain Tumor walk. Elliot did a great job and was a happy baby all weekend. We went to the National Zoo and visited the animals. He spent some quality time with Gram so mom and dad could go to the Nats game. On Sunday we did the walk and got some shots in front of the Monument. He also got to hang out with Paul and Molly. (sorry we didn't get a picture with Molly). We had a nice time.

Elliot at the National Zoo 

Halfway through the walk and a quick stop for a picture in "front" of the Washington Monument. 

Waiting for the train. 

Elliot hanging out with Paul thinking, I hope I grow to be that tall some day. 

So big.

I am getting so strong I can hold my head up for awhile. 

Hanging out with Jay 

So much fun

 

First game

Here is Elliot at his first Phillies game. He was great. He wasn't too fond of the rowdy fans behind us but he liked walking around the stadium. Too bad they lost.
