5 month update

We are 2 weeks past Elliot’s 5 month update, but there is so much to share I couldn’t skip it! Elliot is growing and changing so much! 

Elliot has lengthened out a bit and seems to have slimmed down. Although, his cheeks have stayed intact!  He is reaching for and grabbing at e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g! He has found his voice….and screams for the pure joy of hearing himself. This new and delightful habit comes in a wide array of sounds, from high pitched singing to flat out screaming….he will then smile at his accomplishments while Jared and I sit startled. The biggest change came a few weeks ago when we stopped swaddling Elliot for naps and bedtime.  He is doing great and sleeps the whole night un-swaddled!  Love it!  Elliot has also sat in his first restaurant highchair and is sitting in the seat of his stroller, no longer in the car seat.  Elliot's personality is really starting to show.  He is a watcher and thinker and doesn’t give out smiles freely.My baby is growing so fast!

Elliot loves reading books.  He makes ooohh sounds when I turn the pages Smile

Elliot and Elsie have begun to bond!  Elliot still likes Elsie a little more than she likes him. He is currently learning how to “pet nicely”.

YAY! The cheeks are still intact! He is getting so big. Can't wait to see you guys. Love the pictures of Elliot and Elsie, his rosy cheeks and then hugging her! So cute.
