Elliot- 3 months

It's Elliot again :)  I am now 3 months old, and boy has my life changed over the past few weeks!  My mommy had to go back to work, so I started going to Shelli's house with Noah.  Shelli tells me that I am a really good baby.  I just LOVE it there, and wear myself out watching the kids during the day.
 
Some highlights over the past few weeks....I started to 'talk' and squeal ALOT.  Once I get going I can babble for a long time.  I also started to roll a bit;  if my arm wasn't in the way I bet I could roll onto my tummy.  I also am a very smiley baby (just like my brother was).  If you remember, I was a great sleeper in my 'early life.'  I have since took a turn for the worse, and am not sleeping very much any more.  I'm going to try to work on this though, because it seems like mommy and daddy are pretty tired and I feel bad.  I am bothered by reflux, so that's the cause of my restlessness right now.  I still like to eat, and I weigh about 15 pounds already.   Mommy calls me her little chunka-doodle :)

Here are a few pictures from the last few weeks:

Easter 2012

This past weekend was Easter, and we stayed close to home to celebrate.  We had a nice quiet weekend as a family, and enjoyed the nice weather.  We had good intentions of making it to the Sunrise Service at church, but ended up settling for the 10am one instead. :)  Here are a few pictures from our weekend.

Ready for church

 Both boys fell asleep before Easter dinner was ready so Nick and I enjoyed dinner while they slept.

Potty Time!

Hi everyone, it's Noah.  So, after months of mommy and daddy asking me if I wanted to go potty (enough already!), I decided last weekend to give it a try.  We started out on Saturday morning by putting some 'big boy underwear' on, and the kitchen timer was set to go off every 30 minutes to remind me to go potty.  I did pretty good, and stayed almost dry all weekend.  Mommy and I made a 'potty chart' so that I could  put stickers on each time I go (that's my favorite part!)  I did so good that I got to continue my training at Shelli's house on Monday.  It's been a week now, and I have only had a few accidents.  I am so proud to be a big boy!  Here are a few pictures from my training....

So excited!  

Look at me go!  :)

Breakfast with the Easter Bunny

A few weekends ago, we had breakfast with the Easter Bunny.  After church, we headed to the Community Center for a pancake breakfast and pictures with the Easter Bunny.  It sounded like a great idea at first, and everyone was excited.  Excitement quickly turned to fear, and both boys were terrified of the Easter Bunny.  Poor little Noah sat still while Daddy snapped a picture, but he certainly WASN'T happy about it....

Everyone's happy before meeting 'the bunny'

Get me out of here!
