Better Late Than Never

So it is much more difficult to blog when you have two kids as opposed to one and when you are trying to keep your house in tip top shape in order to sell it. Thus, I am almost 2 weeks late in sharing Elliot's 4 month check-up information. As of March 17th, Elliot weighed 15 lbs 9 oz and that is pretty much all I remember other than the fact that he is in the 60%ile for weight and the 25%ile for both head circumference and height. I guess one could say his stats are getting better....

While Elliot had started sleeping through the night, I believe he is going through a darn growth spurt because a 3 or 4 a.m. feeding has become required again. Not cool. Not cool at all.

Friday night (the 26th) Elliot rolled over for the first time and then wouldn't stop. By Sunday (the 28th) he was able to roll not only from his back to his tummy, but back over to his back from his tummy. It may have helped that he had his big sister rooting him on. Olivia was sitting on the couch watching him, yelling "Alright Elliot".

Olivia has recently become enthralled in this Mickey Mouse Beach Club Sing-A-Long circa 1995 DVD (thanks Gee Gah and Pop Pop Mackin). We watch it at least once a day if not more. Chuck absolutely hates it and would rather listen to Olivia scream and throw a fit when he tells her no when she wants to watch it than listen to the singing on the DVD. I have become so accustomed to it, that sadly the songs are constantly running through my head. I think the main reason why I let her watch it is because of the reaction she has when she sees Tinker Bell at the beginning. Every single time she yells "Mom, Dinker Bellllll". I love it. It's the best thing ever!

Olivia handles Elliot very well and really does love him. She tries to comfort him on the rare occassions that he becomes upset and she loves to sing to him. Speaking of singing, she still has a song in her head pretty much all of the time and can even tell you when she hears Lady Gaga on the radio (not sure if that is a good thing or not).

I know there is much more to share, but being a mom of two who is trying to sell her house makes one tired. More to come........eventually.
