Elliot is 4! He has been talking about turning four for a long time now, and was excited for the day to finally arrive. What can we say about Elliot; he is an active, smiley, tricky, lovable little guy. He has a smile that will light up any room, but is also as tricky as they come :) Some say that he is exactly like his Grandpa Randy at that age, and frankly, that scares me a little, ha! He loves anything that has wheels, and is very curious about how things work and are put together. He is always 'under' something looking at the various parts of cars/lawnmowers/bikes/you name it. He is fully potty trained now (whew!), can ride a bike with training wheels, and can get ready by himself in the morning.

Elliot and I went to his 4 year check up the day after his birthday (after a quick stop at the donut shop of course), and he was very concerned about shots (poor little guy). Turned out he had to get quite a few of them so it wasn't his favorite day. Dr. Paulson asked him all sorts of '4-year-old' questions like his address, phone number, why he needs a bike helmet, and why he needs to buckle up in the car. He also got his vision and hearing tested, and did great on both of them. His skin is SO much better and he only has occasional breakouts (so thankful for that). He is still active for peanut allergy, but we have an appointment to be re-tested next week and are hoping that he maybe has outgrown the allergy (not a high percentage of kids do, but hoping)
Here are his stats at 4:
Weight: 37 lb (68%)
Height: 39.72 inches (38%)
BMI: 16.8 (normal)
BP 88/46 (normal)
Overall he is a happy, healthy little guy (a little on the short side, he has his mama to thank for that)! Happy Birthday Elliot, we love you!
