Eliot

While mom and Sara were visiting, Eliot had a checkup at the doctors office. He is now
8lbs. 11 oz. which is great. He was 7lb 15 oz at birth but was only 7lb 8oz when he was discharged from the hospital, so his weight is great now. He jumped from 28% to 42%. He is 21 3/4 inches long and is healthy. It is great to know that he is getting enough food and growing as he should. It is fun to see his change and get bigger.








Eliot 1 1/2 weeks old. He has changed a lot from here to the ones with mom and Sara in them. He is just growing like crazy.

Not a good pictures, but Emma loves holding him and he always seems to be crying when I get the picture.


She loves to peek in on him. If she doesn't see him she asks me where Baby Eliot is, or "where is Eliot Ronald," it is cute then she says "I am just going to check on him. " She also loves to touch his head. She asks, " Can I pet him?" then she rubs his head. She his great big sister.




Sara reading a book to Emma. She still quotes the phrases Sara. Thanks for getting it for her she loves it.

Mom and baby!!







Fun with Family

Emma and Grandma making ginger snaps together.
















Our Day Out!

While Mom and Sara were visiting, we had one nice day. Eliot had a checkup, so we left early for town and shopped and took Emma to the park. She had fun running around and getting some energy out.
The first time Eliot has been outside and seen the sun. It has been a cold summer for Idaho so far. Hope that things change and we can have some sunshine and heat!!




The water park was open, and of course Emma wanted to play. She didn't have a swimsuit, so I let her play in her clothes. She had fun running through the water and Grandma kept an eye on her.



Cute picture of Grandma and Emma!




She also loved riding the horse and had a wonderful day doing some thing that she loves.






My handsome little man

Aunt Sara holding Eliot. She was a huge help when they came up because she always had the magical touch to somehow get him to sleep!!! And yes Sara you are beautiful!!!!
His eyes lids are still pretty red, but doctor said they are just thin and as they get thicker it will go away. He is still cute.

My little monkey!!


Emma loves Eliot and just lays by him and can't wait for him to play with her when he is a little older.

Going Home

Emma is a great big sister. She is very soft and loving. She wants to play with him already and enjoys betting his binkies for him even though he doesn't take them yet.
A little sad face. He hardly cries and when he does he is just hungry, so far so he is a easy baby.

Emma was excited to see her brother come home. She likes to hold him for a second and then she is done, lol.


So excited to see a real little baby in her old car seat instead of her baby dolls.



First time in his car seat, he looks so small in there.




Eliot Ronald

Little baby wide awake and just seeing the world.
He is handsome!! We tried getting him to eat all night after he was born, but he wasn't interested at all. He just wanted to sleep. He kept on throwing up amniotic fluid, so finally the nurse pumped his stomache and got a lot more out. She brought him back and said that she tried a sucky to see if he would even suck on it and he did, so she brought him right back and he finally ate after like 7 hours of not. He latches on great and we are doing well.








He has pretty long fingers like me and big big feet like his dad.
