4 month check up!

At Elan's 4 month checkup he weighted 14 lbs 10 oz, was 26 inches long and his head was 44cm around, which puts him in the 35th precentile for weight, 75th for height and 82nd for head circumference.  The doctor said he looks great and is really  happy with his development.  He made a joke that since he is starting daycare next week that we will be in the office a lot more! Hopefully that is not true even though I think it will be.

Elan is sleeping in his own room!

Last night was Elan's first night in his own room and he did great.  Until last night we have been putting him in a cosleeper next to the bed but we decided it was time he tried sleeping in his own room.  Maybe someday he will sleep through the night! 

4 Months Old!!

Happy 4 Month Birthday Elan!!

First Day of Spring!!

Today was the first day of spring and we couldn't have nicer weather.  We put Elan in his new stroller and took a walk to the park.  Mat took Elan down the slides and on the swings.  He had so much fun that when we got back he took almost a 2 hour nap!   

First week back at work

Well, this was my first week back at work.  It was hard to leave Elan but really nice to have a job again.  Grandma J came out to watch Elan for the week.  I think they had a lot of fun.  Elan is starting to roll over and sleep in his crib for nap time.  We also started to put him in the bumbo (pics below) he does pretty well in it, even with his huge head :) All milestones are really exciting!

Last Week of Mommy Care!

Well, this was my last week staying home with Elan.  As of Monday I'll be working!  Grandma J is coming out to watch Elan for the first week that I'm back at work and then Grandma and Grandpa D are coming out the following week.  We couldn't get Elan into the daycare we wanted until April so he will be enjoying Grandparent care until then.

Tummy Time

Elan is really starting to enjoy tummy time!  His neck is getting stronger which helps hold up his huge head :)  We have been trying to do some tummy time each day either on the floor or playing airplane. 

He is also starting to enjoy holding onto toys when he sleeps.  He really loves his horse and hedgehog.  Sometimes all it takes is something soft touching his face and he falls asleep really quickly.
