Elliot-2 month check

Hi all, it's Elliot.  I went to the dr. last week for my 2-month check up.  Overall I am a happy, healthy boy.  However, the dr. did say that I have a pretty bad case of eczema and some acid reflux so I came home with a few prescriptions.  But now that my skin is healed up and the reflux is under control, I am sleeping much better and am quite a bit happier.  Here is what the doctor had to say about my stats:

Weight: 12 pounds even (75th percentile)
Height: 22.5 inches (50th percentile)
Head: 15.5 inches (50th percentile)

So overall I am pretty normal, and maybe a little chubby :)  I have my brother beat by more than a 1/2 pound at this age....watch out Noah!

I am pretty much on a routine now in life;  napping/eating/going to bed at the same times every day.  Mommy tells me that this is important because I am going to be joining Noah at Shelli's house really soon.  I went there for a 'test run' the other day to meet the kids, and I'm not sure about the whole daycare thing.  There were so many kids, and they all wanted to see me.  I gave Mommy a 'rescue me' look, but she let all of the kids say hi to me anyway.  Hopefully Noah will keep an eye out for me.....

Here are a few pictures from my second month of life.

I wonder if she will be at Shelli's house too?)

More floor time....look at my chubby legs!  

Brothers

As parents, Nick and I couldn't be prouder of our boys.  We are especially proud of how Noah has taken on his role of 'big brother.'  He loves Elliot, and always has to make sure he is 'taking care' of him.  When Elliot cries, he runs to him and tells him 'it's okay baby' and gives him his Nuk.  Elliot also gets lots of kisses on his head from Noah...he tells us SEVERAL times a day that he wants to kiss the baby.  He also likes to lay on the floor, bed, etc. wherever Elliot happens to be.  Elliot is a trooper, and takes the attention well, even if Noah is a little overbearing at times :)  I took Elliot to daycare to meet the kids this week, and Noah immediately ran over and announced to his friends 'That's MY Elliot, he is silly.'  Here are some of our favorite pictures that we have captured of the boys.

Finally Snow!

I'm so excited that it finally snowed!  I know everyone else is enjoying the warmer winter, but hey, I'm a 2 year old boy, and I LOVE snow!  I was so excited when I woke up last week and saw all of the snow.  Daddy and I shoveled after daycare and work, and I had so much fun.  Even though the snow is all melted now, I had fun while it lasted.  Here are a few pictures from my fun in the snow.
