Elliott @ 3 Months

3 months WOW!

The biggest news is he SLEEPS! I didn't want to get too excited at first, knowing that sometimes newborns sleep long stretches and then they don't, but for the last few weeks or so Elliott has been sleeping "through the night" almost consistently.  Yeah!

Elliott is a finger sucker or maybe I should say fist sucker. He won't take a soother but will self-sooth by sucking his fists.  He even has a little bit of irritated skin by his thumbs because he sucks them so much.

Yes, he was sleeping when I set up this picture, but I wanted to get it done while I had a chance.

But he did wake up (happy no less).

16 lbs 4 ozs.  26 1/2inches long.

Happy Friday!

 

Life with an almost 3 year old is never dull.

Early this morning around 1:30am Zachary walks into our room and is standing on my side of the bed. This is how the conversation goes.

Z: Mommy did you see it?

me (waking up very sleepy): Did I see what?

Z: it

Me: what?

Z: IT!

Z (now frustrated with me that I don't know what he is talking about): Mommy did you see IT?

Me: Zachary I don't know what you are talking about.  You have to be more specific.  What is 'it'?

Z: IT!

Me (giving up on this conversation): Please go back to bed Zachary.

Murray chuckles in bed beside me liking that Zachary picked my side of the bed and not his.

Never a dull moment.

Happy Friday!

P.S I still don't know what 'it' was ( and neither does Zachary I think).

A Few Pics

Here are a few pics from the last two weeks.

Our Family Halloween Picture.

The weather has been nice lately so we have been able to use our new (to us) double stroller.  Zachary loves it because he gets to sit beside Elliott.  I have to monitor how much love he gives he little brother to make sure he doesn't smother him.  

Elliott sitting in the Bumbo!  I love this picture!

After reading the book BOO! by Robert Munch Zachary has been obsessed with painting his face scary. This is Zachary's scary face, he painted it completely by himself.

Elliott's 'cool' outfit.

Happy (wait, what day is it?!?)...Wednesday! I think...
