Elliot is 2 months old today. He's bigger, longer, and more vocal than ever. We are going to the doctor tomorrow for an official measurement (and a load of shots), but here at home he weighed in at 10 pounds 7 ounces.
Tricks he can do now include:
-holding his head up for a very long time
-hitting small objects with this hands
-holding his head up briefly while on his stomach
-sleeping for more than 4 hours at a time (rarely)
-smiling while awake
-supporting his weight while standing
He can hold a straw and a camera memory card, but hasn't seemed interested in holding anything else.
Pictures from the past month are here. And you can go here for the master index. Go here for the main baby picture page. I have some short video clips, too, but we're still figuring out the best way to put them on the web.
Can't wait to see the videos - You could send them to me via e-mail so I could download and take over to Grandma Spevie's. Hope to see you all soon.

Hi Jen, Gary and Elliot,
Thanks for sharing all those great pictures with us. Liz and I were just thrilled to see them and can't get over how much Elliot has grown. He's so adorable and it was nice to see him with his Grandma Anna also. Please keep those pictures coming and give Elliot a great big hug and kiss for us.
He really IS cuter than average. And I must say it's a bit odd to see my sister as a grandma.
Glad to know you're all well.
Dearest Jen ,Gary, and Elliot,
I know he is getting big now, and that smile because his daddy always was smiling when he was little. I can just picture him in my mind. always let him know that his greatgrandma from iowa loves hime and always will.
Hi Elliot, Jen, and Gary - Pleeease keep those pictures coming - with a whole country separating us it is the most wonderful way of keeping in touch and watching Elliot grow. Love Aunt Kathy

I have to agree with everyone, seeing the pictures gives all of us a chance to see all the wonderful changes in Elliot. How fast he is growing. I am sure he will get a handle on sleeping one of these days, why should he be different from most babies, always making sure someone knows they are there.
Love,
Aunt Dolores
Great way to see the extended family grow when you can't be there geographically. Can say that Elliot's starting to show some real character.
Posted by: Pete at October 5, 2005 09:13 PMDear Jennifer,
We are so happy for you. Have you heard of the program "Super Nanny"? Jonathan and I are learning a lot of parenting skills from it. We wished this program was around when we first had Olivia. By now, we are trying things out on Joani, our yongest. We are a little slow with her going on 4, but never too late to settle a tantrum! :)
Blessings,
Annie
