Well, Elliott never got a 4 month or 5 month post…

Elliott is still growing and growing. We refereed to his sized so much that Laurel began calling him “big boy.” We now refer to him as being a handsome boy when discussing his size. He is much more verbal in month five than he was in month four. While he is still quite baby, he has spurts of none stop babbling for 10 or 15 minutes. He has started showing a strong interest in solid food, and will likely get his first taste this weekend. He is favorite thing to do appears to be listening to people talk. He listens intently to every word Kyllan and I say. He also enjoys grabbing anything in front of him. He recently began attending the same daycare as his big sister, so the logistics of morning drop offs and evening pick ups have gotten much easier. His four and five month pictures are below. Here is a link to some random October and September photos.

Elliott is growing up so fast. This past week he turned 3 months. In some ways it feels like he just arrived. In other ways, he has changed so much that the past few weeks seem like years. He has gone from making the occasional noise to babbling non-stop. Kyllan was spending so much time trying to get a smile out of him last month. Now it seems like he is smiling every minute. Kyllan beams with joy whenever Elliott returns one of her smiles. It is wonderful to watch. Elliott is starting to sleep longer periods at night, though he is apparently sleeping less at daycare than usual. He is enjoying tummy time more and more. In addition to his play mat, Elliott now has a jumper that he has been doing a great job in. He will be pulling himself up on to furniture and walking around in no time.

I have lots of photos form Laurel’s birthday and birthday party. I have photos from San Antonio as well. I will post these later week. They are already on my flickr page.
