Elliott - 4 months

Our little man is growing like a weed.

Last week we had his 4 month doctor's appointment. He did MUCH better this visit...except when they poked him with needles. John came to this doc visit...so I hid in the corner, closed my eyes and plugged my ears when they pricked him.

This visit he was 17.2 lbs (90%) 25 1/2 inches (75%) and 55% for head size. John is hoping that he is a linebacker...I hated to tell him that at 6 months he could be in the 25% for everything.

He LOVED the mirrors and the crinkly paper that he stomped all over. Why do we buy expensive toys when the simplest things make him happy??

He has learned how to laugh when he gets tickled, he love to hold onto his feet and he now not only rolls from front to back...but he has started to master rolling from back to front. Now if we could just get rid of this acid reflux we would be in good shape!

Teylor, Ben and Finley were in town last week as well. We had family brunch at our house. Finley even let me hold her...briefly but a conquest nonetheless. Finley was not so keen when her mama was holding Elliott. She apparently thought he was dirty because she took a wipey and started cleaning him. She was also a big fan of Willie (the pug). She was so cute I am thinking of ways to kidnap her.
