Good times!

"I'll grab the diaper bag. Mom, can you go start the car."

My star suit! That means we're going somewhere!

I'm fine in a pink chair. See, I'm sitting here nicely.

Pride does not begin to describe a shirt-full of drool

Thanks, grandma for the blanket!

Early Dose of Reality

Aunt Marie has no trouble delivering the honest truth.

My eyes are purple...

First Sick Day

Grandpa to the rescue...

Portland

Grandma time.

Airplane hold goes kamikaze

Elliot unleashes his full firepower on Momma



















Josh discusses some pointers of the flight mission, but mostly congratulates him.

Growth Rates

I sure hope his hands grow faster than his mouth...

Family Time

At first I thought I messed up this picture, but my sister is kind of an angel...



















Elliot had a small crush on Ally, which she handled like a champ.

Kaelan is a pro.

Date Night Babysitters

Chad and Liz offered to come over Tuesday night so we could go to the Red Stagg Cheap Date Night. It was awesome and they did great!

Munchkin Lunch

We had Jack and his parents Amy and Brad over for lunch. We tried to get pictures of the boys looking handsome.
Yea, this was the best one we got.














Elliot and Jack do also know how to smile.




















Here is a great poster Chris A got us which is perfect for the changing table (Zoom in to read)

Halloween Turtle Torture

Becca is a brown log. Elliot is a turtle on a log. The blanket is water.















Peter is a lilly pad. Elliot is crying.

Also, you may notice the turtle costume as a FOR PETS ONLY costume from the infant clearance rack at target. We are slaves to fashion.

Mom with the Lemur

It's a Wild World

Mavis tells him about the world.

Munchkin Meeting

Babies are so special...














(even when they kind of look the same...)



















Thanks Brad, Amy and Jack for the Friday lunch. Some people call these play-dates, I call them crying-contests and depending on your measure both Elliot and Jack won (Elliot cried and Jack slept).

Singer

Elliot is learning about music (and some choreography from Mom).

Thanks Jay and Kim for the CD!

Swinger

Elliot likes how the swing moves the gas bubbles around in his stomach.

Thanks Anders, Hannah and Ella!

Split Allegiance

We were asked by the Oesterreich's to pick a team bib. Their family, however, was the clue to the answer...Twins!

Checkin you out

Snuggle-Saurus

You might wonder what he is thinking about. I can tell you..."How long has been since I last ate...already 2 hours?"

Thanks Shannon, for the cute onesie.

Looking out for the little guy

Syl walks in door, sits down and attaches to Elliot. Elliot forgets about the stress of infant-hood for a bit.














Chad and Liz have a dinner party and then a sit down session with the little guy.

Red Eye Cry

A good wail...














and then the after-cry peace















His first onesie, thanks Oesterreichs (it even fits!)
