Chris and I are each working on blog posts, but I decided to do a quick post about what Elliott has been up to over the last month. This month included his 4 month check-up, which proved what many had been saying about Elliott. He is big for a 4 month-old.
His stats:
Weight: 17 pounds, 85th percentile (up from the 58th% at 2 months)
Height: 25.8 inches, 77th percentile (up from 59th% at 2 months)
Anyhow, he is starting to look adorably chubby and accumulating several chins. We're very proud.
A while back I found Chris and Elliott hanging out on the sofa together. Notice the resemblance?
Elliott has been enjoying following us around the house (read: being carried from room to room). Here he is helping me with the laundry. He really likes sitting in the basket with the warm clothes. He watches me fold them while I talk to him about each item. "Elliott, these are Daddy's red boxer shorts."
Check out this adorable hat! I think it was Elliott's Grandpa Jim/Jones. An antique!
On Labor Day we enjoyed the day off with a trip to the park and Chris's first time pushing Elliott in the swings. I love this picture. They were both looking at each other like they weren't sure what to do next.
Apparently, Chris's first time pushing children in swings ended with his cousins (Sara and Danielle) falling on their faces in the dirt. So, I showed him first how it is done:
Fortunately, Chris's swing-pushing skills have improved, and here they are enjoying themselves:
To round out this photo post, a montage of Elliott in his guitar monkey outfit:
Tummy time:
