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!)

Some Perspective

It's a boy

You might wonder if this is really the best picture of us we could get. Well...we are very tired. Feel free to come over and conduct a photo shoot. I would also consider bringing some stunt double parents.














PS: The "It's a Boy" sign and many other decorations were added as a surprise by Chad and Liz while we were in the hospital.

The Faces of Elliot

We're going to try to capture his main faces and update this post with them.

Sleeping














The Scream














Thinking?














This video captures the pained look and pseudo cry


This is the "ooh, ooh, ooh" face















"Yea, they call me Elliot" (Oregon shout-out)



















Breathe in the air.

When is Becca going to deliver the baby? (Sept 10)

Obama had the answer!

Going home

Heading home in the mini-van. Who knew it was also good for kids?















Elliot meets his cousins (Ally, Kaelan and Davis)...and his aunt Syl















Being told the story of other Graven babies to be in Cathy's arms.

Going to need sleep soon (Day 3)

Reinforcements!














Elliot

He arrives in our room (Day 2)

First nap on mom














Dad gets to hold him too














Grandma gets her time














Grandad gets a look at his namesake














And the classic "i'm sorry, you were saying... I was yawning..."

Elliot under observation (Day 1)

Here he is resting
















Peter gets a sneak peak after he is born. They are watching to make sure nothing he swallowed into his lungs creates an infection.


Becca gets to meet him.

Plan B

If this isn't a best practice, it was photoshopped.

Footwork

At the end of this video you can see some footwork. Shh, Becca is sleeping.
