Baby Elliot is 4 months old today! It has been quite the busy month. He scoots himself, grabs toys, and eats cereal. We went to see Dr. Dave today and by the time the doctor got in the room, Elliot had shredded the paper on the examination table and was on all fours. The doctor was very impressed! Elliot weighed 16lb 15oz today.
We have hired Auntie Linzy to babysit Elliot 3 days a week so that daddy can go back to the office some. She stayed over Monday night. After I had put Elliot to sleep, Logan, Linzy, and I went to clean up dinner. I was washing dishes when I thought I heard Elliot cry out. So I stopped the water and listened. I didn’t heard him any more so Logan and I continued cleaning up. When we were done I went upstairs and there was Aunt Linzy rocking baby E back to sleep in the recliner. It was sweet!
Elliot got a fun new horse toy today from a lady that goes to the hair salon next to Logan’s office and a cowboy costume from Aunt Lisa. The cowboy shoes he already had from Gam Gam.
I’ve been trying to stick to a routine at night. I bathe him after he eats, we put him in a comfy onesie, and I read him a story. I added brushing his gums today since he is now 4 months old. I read him Mike Mulligan and he fell asleep by the end of it. I usually have to feed him again to get him to go to sleep, so I was impressed that he managed to fall asleep without some warm milk. My baby is getting older…
He is growing soooo fast. Its so hard to believe that he is 4 months old today. Isn’t his behavior advanced for his age?
He thinks he is older than he is 😉
Yeah for Mike Mulligan! 🙂
16 lbs… I like to think how hard it’s going to be to stuff your giant child into a car seat once he’s a toddler.
