Elliot is now 1 week old (well last night technically). Things are going great! We took him for his weight check up today, still a big boy but not quite back up to birth weight (expected). Nursing is going pretty well, although I am sore and he gets gassy (one end always has something to say!). I am excited to let him sleep longer than 3 hours during the night starting next week... the first two weeks he needs to eat every 2-3 hours, after that he can go longer. That means the past few nights I have HAD to wake him up to eat! So different than his big sister! Clay thinks Elliot is starting to look more like Gabby, I agree. You will for sure be able to tell they are siblings! Gabrielle is loving having her Grandpa here, they walk to the store daily to get a newspaper and play out on the balcony most of the day!

That first one is a really cute family picture! Seeing how tiny Elliot is makes Gabby look like such a BIG girl! :-) I'm glad that everything is going so well! I was going to ask if he had broken nine pounds yet, but I guess not quite, huh? Soon, I'm sure, and then he'll just keep getting bigger! I wish they stayed tiny for longer!
what a great looking family! sounds like things are mostly under control there. see you soon:)
We love that you are posting pictures so regularly! Thanks so much for sharing your happiness with us - what on earth did we do before blogs ?????
I love seeing you four together - what a great little family! but I also have to admit to loving the little angels picture of Gabby and Elliot - and the one of Elliot all alone is so sweet.
I also see that Gabby is wearing the Tokyo Baby shirt that we sent over - I had to smile when I saw that! Looks like it just fits though - guess the next one better be for 3Y ?
Lots of love to you four from us two...
Sarah! You look so amazing. I love the family photo. So sweet...and evenly matched.
Hope you can start sleeping soon. Take care.
