Introducing… Elliot and Winston!

You are still a pretty good sleeper. You get a good block of sleep that lasts until about 1am. You sit up well in your bumbo. You rolled front to back. You have moved (changed houses) twice. Crazy! We love you! Night night 🙂

Just a quick update to say we have survived our first full day at home with Baby Winston. We are very much enjoying being a family of 4. Birth story to come!

Logan, Elliot, and Gam Gam went to the Knoxville Zoo this week. Logan took some great pictures!

At first he only wanted to watch.

Last night, Elliot helped make a pizza!

He fell asleep during dinner since he did not nap.

Today he and Logan made a blanket tent!

One day this week, Elliot and Logan came to get me at work for lunch. Elliot has of late been calling our house “daddy’s house. ” When they pulled up to the hospital to get me, Elliot exclaimed, “Mommy’s house!”

Logan took Elliot to the department store this week and discovered that Elliot has been wearing shoes a size and a half too small! When he thought back on it, Logan remarked, “I guess he was asking me,  ‘Feet OK? ‘”

Elliot’s second molars are coming in. He says, “Mouth OK?” Fortunately, they are pretty much in at this point, and his appetite and spirits are picking back up!

Elliot has been saying “Me” recently and Logan did not know what he meant until a couple of days ago when he showed him a picture of us and Elliot pointed to me, as in “Mom-Me!” Yay!

I finally got to spend some time with the boy this weekend. Elliot and I even dressed the same!

Elliot and I went out for lunch yesterday at the cheesecake factory with some of my co-workers and their kids.

Elliot was pretty well behaved, but he was pretty tired by the time the meal was complete. We had to run out at one point late in the meal to get some stuff for Logan out of my car to give to Aunt Lisa. Elliot cried to stay with Aunt Lisa! He was ready to go. So we headed home for nap time, which ended up being rather short since he fell asleep in the car and woke some with the transfer to the crib.

As far as new baby tricks, Elliot recently started opening doors. As a result, many of the doors are now baby proofed.

Things are still crazy, but I am thinking about you and miss you! Have fun with Gingy at Montessori School!

Little Grumpus went to a shower,

His mommy threw for his Auntie.

She got a lot of presents,

Including a pair of panties!

Grumpus came to the party

Both hungry and sleepy.

His mommy fed til he was full,

And helped him get comfy.

While Grumpus slept his auntie opened

The presents, one by one.

And when he woke he helped auntie

Pick the gown that won!

Look what daddy caught for baby E today!

I’m pretty sure he had no idea what to think!

Also, his favorite Gingy came to visit and bring mommy and daddy some beautiful furniture from Aunt Betty Lynn. We are so fortunate!

Elliot sat up in the booth at Gondolier (briefly) like a big boy!
