What has Elliot been doing?

Since Whitney has been born Elliot has been very busy! Here is what he has been up to the last 3 weeks.

Changes

There have been a lot of changes for Elliot in the last 3 weeks. The biggest change is having a sister. He is a great big brother and is adjusting pretty well. He has his moments of jeaulousy, but that is to be expected. He would love for Whitney to be able to play with him. He asked me if he could give her a ride on his lawn mower. He doesn't quite understand that she isn't in the playing stage yet (that will come soon enough). He does love holding and kissing Whitney.

Elliot is now in a big boy bed. He got new truck bedding for Christmas from Grandma Peg and Grandpa Todd. Elliot loves trucks!! He transitioned very well to his new bed. However, there have been several nights he has gotten up in the middle of the night and has fallen asleep in other places. He has been found sleeping in Whitney's new born lounger under the Christmas tree and on the kitchen floor. Elliot is also wearing big boy underwear now. He got "Melmo" (better known as Elmo) underwear from Santa and absolutely loves them. He has had several accidents, but has also made it to the potty several times!!! Elliot has decided to set a new trend of wearing only underwear and snow boots. He loves his snow boots. He would wear them 24/7 if we let him.

Hanging out with his Big Brother

Elliot is really into books and loves being read too. Good thing he has a big brother that can read! He also likes to have a turn to read.

Christmas Toys

Elliot really got into opening his presents this year. He enjoyed playing with his new toys even more. Thanks everyone for all my new toys. I have been busy playing the last couple days!!

Grandparents

Both sets of grandparents were here after Whitney was born. Elliot had lots of fun helping and hanging out with them. He helped his Grandma's clean and he helped his Grandpa Todd paint Whitney's room.

Snow, Snow, Snow!!!

We got lots of snow the last couple of weeks. Elliot loves going outside and playing in it. His favorite snow activity is being pulled in his sled. I took him out one afternoon shortly after Whitney was born and boy was that a great workout for me!!!
