Funny Elan

Every night before we go to bed we check on Elan.  And every night he is sleeping in a different position.  Even when the bumper is up he will untie it so he can use the bumper as a pillow.  We would give him a pillow but since he does 360s through out the night we don't see the point!

Elan has really been into dancing lately.  After dinner we play in the living room and he will either play with his blocks or grab all his toys that make music and dance to them.  Elan is also on the verge of jumping.  He has caught air a few times and he squeals with delight after he lands.

First Spring Hike

The last few weeks have been a little crazy for us.  First, Mat was in DC for a conference and then I had to go to NYC for a meeting.  Since everyone was in town this weekend we decided to go on our first spring hike.  It was slightly warmer during the week but Sunday was in the low 40s but sunny so we decided to give it a try.  We went to The Fells in Winchester MA.  We are trying to get a feel of the various towns we would like to move to (someday) and one of the big factors is how close they are to good trails.  Needless to say we were impressed with the Fells and even more impressed with the town of Winchester.

We hiked the Skyline trail which gives you nice views of the city.  The Fells are about 8 miles from Boston.

More Museum Fun

This weekend Grandma and Grandpa J came into town.  It was actually a warm weekend so we got to watch a lot of the snow melt.  Hopefully this means that spring is right around the corner!  Mat had to fly to Washington DC for a meeting on Sunday so Elan, myself, and Grandma and Grandpa J went to the Children's Museum.  It was a lot of fun but we missed having Mat around!

15 month checkup

Today we took Elan to the doctor for his 15 month checkup.  The doc thought he looked great and confirmed that his canine teeth are starting to come through.  Like all of his other teeth, Elan hasn't seemed to mind.

 Elan's 15 month stats:

24lbs 4oz which is in the 43th percentile for weight

31.75 inches which is in the 65th percentile for height 

19.5 inches which is in the 95th percentile for head circumference
