2 Months

I can't believe that my little Elliott is already 2 months old, and not so little any more! At my last appointment, he was 11 lbs. 8 oz. WOW! What a change from my little girls. Elliott also is on the verge of no longer fitting in 0-3m clothing and is rapidly moving into 3-6. He is all smiles and has been since about a week before Christmas. G.G-ma Larson got a lot of arm time and loved to talk to him, which encouraged TONS of smiles, and now, he just can't seem to stop :).

The girls are loving having Elliott here. McKenzie loves to share kisses, and anything else including books, toys, and sometimes food (we usually catch her before it makes it to his mouth).

Alexis is protective and insists on watching him if I have to leave the room for anything. She has been a HUGE help in doing the little things like get a diaper, find the wet wipes, get a blanket, etc. She loves to hold Elliott and is sometimes too helpful in moving him :).


As a family we are doing our best to adjust to a party of 5. The hardest part is staying on top of everyone's needs, and still getting the house somewhat clean most of the time. My living room looks like we are moving as I sort through totes of cloths in an attempt to stay on top of my growing kids who seem to all be moving up in sizes at the same time. My kitchen is the cleanest room in the whole house which is great because this is the most important to me. Aaron is incredible and is always helping, even when it isn't his 'turn', he never thinks about it this way, that's my job. I am trying to train my body to function on less sleep, train my girls to go to bed earlier, and pray that Elliott has a good night EVERY night.
