little sleeper

Elliott falls alseep like this right now. His hand finds a way into your shirt and he gets all cuddled around it and then sleeps. It is really sweet.

Aunt Anne, look! The blanket you made! The weather is getting perfect for it, thank you so much!

little bros

man oh man, these 2 totally love each other.
I hope it lasts once Elliott starts really moving around. 

yard work

So, since Brett was traveling alot, our yard got kind crazy with growing. So, my dad was in town helping me out, and I decided to go out and weed wack some stuff down. It was cool, harder than I thought it would be, and hurt m arms and shoulders for a week!

And these grasshoppers were doing their thing and keep hopping around where I was doing my thing. I kept watching but was so freaked out they would jump on me. So my dad was on grasshopper patrol. He did good, they never got on me, or int the house. whew, thanks dad!

My dad and Elliott on weed wacking, grasshopper patrol. 

I got it done, buy man, those landscaping guys make it look so easy. And they are building a house near me, so a bunch of those guys got to watch a girl wack her weeds. But it is done and looks so much better. Thank goodness there is Aleve in my house. And thanks for my weed wack patrol who keep me on track and unjumped on by mating grasshoppers.

we took this photo so when Brett got off a plane, he would have a picture of his pals. So cute!

6 month check up

Elliott had a day with 2 appointments back to back. Therapy and then his 6 month check up Whew! I don't know who was more tired, Elliott, me or Bennett for keeping up with us both!

He did great at his therapy, so good in fact, we don't go back for a month! She got him in a crawl position above. I love the look on his face!

At his 6 month check up, he was 13 lbs, which is still in the 2nd percentile in weight. His height is not much different either, and still in the 2nd percentile for kids his age. He is growing, just at an Elliott rate. She said he is fine and to not get discouraged and to keep feeding him and to increase his liquid. Which we did. I feel like he looks like a regular size kiddo, but we don't go back until December for his 9 month check up to find out how how much he is growing. 

excuses for not posting

Ugh, it has been almost a month since my last post! 3 kids are definitely keeping me busy, Brett is traveling a lot with work, we have family coming to help me out, so our routines are a bit different and I have been working on a new work computer, which I don't do anything personal on, so today, I finally got out my computer and decided to spend a few minutes and get this baby updated. And by baby, I mean blog. No baby news here people, except our is baby is getting bigger! and we are half way there to getting the green light on being unable to make more kids. Whew! OK, enough with the excuses, let's see some photos!
