Elliot @ 3 months!





hello all!  The past two weeks have flown by as we have tried to adjust to our new schedule now that I am in school.  It was a lucky break that Jason's days off just happened to be the days I was in school.  So, the childcare transition has been hard, but good.  Jason has done an excellent job of taking over the "mommy" role and Elliot doesn't seem to have noticed.  The first day I left, I cried all the way to school, each day has gotten a little easier since then.  Elliot hit his 3 month  milestone and is 14 lbs now.  His 3 month doctor visit went well (except for the shots) and he is in the 50-75th percentile in height, weight and head circumference.  His doctor, Molly, describes him as  a "thriving" baby.  Music to my ears...
Today we tried Elliot in the bungee bouncer that was a hand-me-down from his cousin Kieran.  Lately, all El wants to do is stand and kick his little legs, so we thought he would love it, and he did!  He stayed in it for about 20 minutes...turning this way and that and shrieking with delight that he could "stand" on his own.  According to Jason's mom, he was the same way!  Just wait until he figures out that he can jump in it too!
The weather is threatening to cool down and we are all looking forward to gorgeous fall days!!!
love to all...

Look like Elliot continues to have a fun-filled life! It brought tears to my eyes to read of your teary drive to school. I remember that so well as I drove off to work part-time when Aiden was that little. I did rest-assured knowing that he was with Tyler and I am sure you felt the same knowing that his loving Daddy was right there with him! Motherhood is definitely not for the faint of heart!
