6...months...old!!!





So, the baby boy is 6 months old as of last week. Time sure does fly! I took him today for his well baby check up and the dreaded vaccinations. The little chunker now weighs 15 pounds, 13 ounces and is 25 inches long. The doctor's comment upon seeing him: "Wow, he is pretty pale". To that I have to say one thing--he is his father's son. Elliott is definitely looking more and more like a little Gabe and I think has his father's sunny disposition too. He is a happy little guy if I've ever seen one!

So what does 6 month old Elliott like to do?
- eat! He is quite enthusiastic about his solid foods and drinking
his breastmilk! Elliott's latest foods include peaches as well as avocado.
- look at books. At night Gabe always reads, "I Love You, Goodnight" and Elliott watches intently and helps turn the pages.
-play with his toy bar (as pictured below).
- smile and laugh. Like Buddy the Elf, smiling is definitely his favorite!

We are so blessed to have our happy baby. Happy 6 months Elliott!
