Kyle John

Here he looks like Ethan.

6 Month Update

We just got back from Elliot's 6 month appointment. He is growing well. He now weighs 15 pounds, 12 ounces. He is 26 inches long. He is in the 25th percentile for weight and 20th for height. He got 5 shots and was not happy at all. He settled down pretty quickly though. He is now officially off the apnea monitor as of July 13th. Now we need to work on the Zantac. He was baptized yesterday and when I get some pictures I will post them. He can roll from front to back when he feels like it and last night he rolled from back to front (it freaked him out a little). We are now working on sitting up and hope that he can master it by the time we go to the shore.

A New Cousin is Born

Kyle John Callahan entered the world at 4:46 this morning. He was 5 pounds 12 ounces and 19.5 inches long. Mom and baby are doing well. We are extremely happy for Regina and Ethan. Elliot can't wait to get to the hospital to meet his new cousin.

Lake Trip

We went to Lake Garrison on Sunday to relax and get out of the house. We had a really good time. Elliot absolutely loved the water (after he had a nap). He probably would have stayed in all day but we were worried about sun burn. It was a fun day. Pictures are below.

MMMMMMMMMM

This water tastes good, like cedar!

Swimming

I think I like it.

Hanging with dad

All smiles

Just after waking up from a nap.

What are those?

Gram bought me a bubble machine and I thought they were fascinating.

Quick update

I forgot to tell everyone that Elliot's clogged tear duct has officially cleared up. I can't tell you the exact date but we noticed when giving him a bath for a few nights in a row that he had no gunk in his eye. It has been like that for about 2 weeks now. I guess we just got so used to it we didn't notice when it stopped being goopy. Also, hopefully by next week, he will be wireless! (He needs to get with the 21st century :-) I talked to the doctor last week about getting him off the monitor. He looked at his downloads and said the last episode was May 13th when he stopped breathing for 16 seconds. He said if he was fine until June 30th then he will take him off it. We were having phone line issues so I couldn't download the monitor so the company came out today to switch monitors. Hopefully by Monday we'll know. Keep your fingers crossed.

Happy 4th of July

Elliot had a good 4th..no fireworks though because he was in bed by 7:00pm, maybe next year!
His shirt says "Little firecracker" 

A little fish

This was Elliot's first time in a pool.
He would have enjoyed it more if the water was warmer.

Long day

Swimming sure can take away all your energy.

What the heck is this?

Trying the sippy cup for the first time. Not too sure how much juice he got.

Big Man

Standing in the tub.

Mikey likes it

I'm liking the exersaucer more and more each day.

Come out and play with me

Hey cousin, come join the world, I need a playmate! Mom thinks you are going to arrive on June 24th. I hope she is right.

Yum, carrots

What is this orange stuff? He wasn't too impressed the first time but the next day he finished the container! 

Father's Day

This was Tim's first Father's Day. His onesie says "I love Daddy"

What a cute pair

Hanging with dad

He makes me laugh 

Some perspective

We used the elepant when Elliot was first born to show how little he was(check out January pictures). Now it is used to show how big he is. 

Hidden treasues

Mom and dad made me put my feet in the sand. I enjoyed the experience...the joke was on them trying to get the sand out of my toes :-)

First shore trip

We went to Cape May Point on June 10, to celebrate Gramps' birthday. It was a very windy weekend but I did get to see the ocean and spend 5 minutes on the beach (see pictures below). On Sunday we spent a nice time relaxing on the grass in the circle. I can't wait until we all go down in August because I think I will enjoy it even more.

All the fam

We got blown away but I just had to see the ocean! 

Thanks for the lift

Proud Grandparents

Mommom and poppop just love me so much! 

Is this right?

Not all of it made it into my mouth. 

Mmmmmmmmmmm

My first taste of barley cereal. I did an excellent job of eating it. 

Rollin' Rollin' Rollin''

I finally learned to roll from front to back! I can roll from back to front if I'm on the couch and the slope helps me.
