Introducing… Elliot and Winston!

Happy 6 months, baby boy! Here are your many faces!

Here is a video I took this morning of Elliot and Winston playing.

You are starting to crawl slowly. It won’t be long now before nothing will be safe! You also like standing with help and you are eating several types of fruits and vegtables.

We went as ninja turtles for the boo at the zoo! I have been wanting to be Donatello for years and now I have the whole team assembled.

Unfortunately, Elliot’s costume was a little tight. So he elected to go as Woody again for his class party and for trick or treating. It was still cute!

When we went trick or treating, Elliot went to the first door and went the resident opened the door, Elliot walked right in! Trick or Treat!

Here we are at 2 months. Time flies! Winston is holding his head up well. His alertness has also increased. Plus he has moved up to 3-6 month clothes. Mommy went to work Wednesday and Thursday and Winston reportly took the bottle pretty well.

Last Saturday we went to Gingy’s and took Elliot and Winston to their first drive-in movie, “Inside Out.” We sat in the back end of the van with a bunch of blankies and got comfy. Elliot made it about halfway through before he fell asleep. Not too bad!

Sunday, Gam Gam and Slappy came to visit. We showed them around our new town quickly before they had to head back.

Monday, daddy had CLE so mommy was on her own with the boys. Gingy came up to help. After spending the morning frantically looking for child care in Nashville we went to the Adventure Science Center!

Elliot and I took a selfie from the top of the climbing tower. The first one, Elliot is saying cheese. In the second one, he is laughing at his expression!

Triangle tabones!

Another view from the top!

The next day, Logan had another round of CLE. The boys and I went on a whirlwind tour of child care facilities. Actually, we only had a tour scheduled at 1. I just dropped off the application to the the other two. They would not let me look at the facilities without scheduling a tour. It was interesting to see the facility that we did tour. They had 8 babies in one room with a couple of nannies and they had all kinds of bouncy chairs and cribs and things to keep the babies happy. It was interesting to see how it works. We also saw an older kids room and Elliot jumped right in and started playing. Unfortunately, the wait list was over a year for infants, which seems to be a problem that I’m running into over and over again.

Anyways, we got some hot dogs!

We also found a cool playground with a giant dragon! I believe that this playground was around when my brother Tom was born my brother Arthur and I played on it then.

There was also a completely wheelchair accessible playground nearby.

There are some friendly squirrels in the park, to which we fed some of our leftover french fries. Elliot did not quite understand the technique of throwing the French fry towards the squirrel and kept insisting on trying to give the fry to the squirrel. Of course the squirrels ran, and it was really cute watching Elliot chase after them with the French fries.

As we were leaving the playground, Elliot really wanted to climb through this pipe.

By the time I caught up to him on the other side, he was already doing this.

Winston slept.

The next day, mommy started work and daddy took the boys to Gingy’s. Thursday daddy was own his own. He texted us, “Thanks technology”.

Happy 2 months!

And happy 4th of July!

Winston slept through the night two nights ago! Whoa!
