Elliot-4 months

Well, it's been about 2 months since I have posted.  Mommy took me to the doctor again today (when is she going to catch on that I hate that place?)  I am 4 months old, and starting to learn a lot about the world around me.  I am fascinated with my hands lately and rolled over at Shelli's house (not at home yet though).  I am still 'talking' like crazy.  I squeal and coo for hours on end.  I just have a lot to say I guess. I am also a pretty smiley baby.  My favorite thing still to do is watch Noah.  I giggle out loud a lot when watching him play.  I can't wait to grow up and play with him.  

My stats from today's doctor's visit:  

~Weight: 15 lb, 6 oz (60th percentile)

~Height: 25 inches (60th percentile)

~Head: 16 3/4 inches (75th percentile)

Whew, I'm normal.  And very healthy.  I am a whole 1.5 inches shorter than my brother at this age.  I guess I better focus on growing :)  

Here are a few pictures from the past few months

After shots, not a happy camper 

If I fall asleep, can I get out of going to the doctor?

Trip to Iowa/Amy's Confirmation

This past weekend we took a road trip to Iowa for our cousin Amy's confirmation.  Mommy and Daddy were a little worried how we would do in the car for 4 hours, but we were rockstars!  We both slept for about the first 3 hours.  I can't believe they doubted us.

We stayed in a hotel for the first time since Elliot has been born, and it was FUN!  I (Noah) got my own bed, and I was pretty excited (so much that I couldn't fall asleep the first night until 11).  We both had a lot of fun playing with our cousins Justin and Amy.  I was having too much fun on Saturday that I didn't want to go back to the hotel so auntie Lea let me stay at her house.  I slept in Amy's bed, which was awesome since her whole bedroom is PINK (my favorite color right now).  Thanks for a fun weekend, we can't wait to come visit again this summer!

Twin Game

Hi everyone.  Daddy took me to a Twins game vs. the Boston Red Sox last week, and I had such a FUN time!  I was a good boy, and we made it to the 5th inning before we left (which is pretty good since the game didn't start until 7pm).  I can't wait to go to another game this year!  Daddy let me go to the Twins store and pick out one thing that I wanted.  I picked beads to put around my neck (see last picture below)    My favorite part of the night was all the food I got to eat....popcorn, corn dogs, hot dogs, and mini doughnuts.  My belly was a little full :)  Here are some pictures from my special night with daddy:

Ready to go!  

Do I need my mittens on, Mom?  Silly boy.

So excited to be at Target Field 

This game is intense...
