Elliot is growing fast

Hello everyone!
Elliot Finn is a growing young man. He is now 10.12 lbs and is 23.5 inches long!! He is smiling and laughing all the time. Time is really flying by. He went to his first concert last month, the Carolina Chocolate Drops. He was asleep most of the time but got to hear some good tunes. He has been hiking and in his stroller, and we cant wait until he is on a bike..... Ha. Here are a few new pictures. He has this jungle gym thing he lays under with a blinking star that plays music, and he LOVES it.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
Wishing everyone a happy new year! All is well in these parts. Elliot Finn is growing by the hour. He is officially laughing and smiling all the time. Here are a few pictures.

Growing baby

Wow at how they grow! Here are a few pictures of the sweetest thing ever. We have been great just getting into a rhythm with no hospital visits (yippie).
We went to his 1 month doctor visit and he weighs 8.8lbs now and is now 21 1/4inches long and his head grew an inch! He is smiling now and adding new faces daily to his routine.
Hope everyone is doing well and wishing you all a Happy Holiday season.
Love love love

A new bump....

Hello everyone!
Hope December is treating you well. It has been a bit bumpy for little Elliot Finn. We left Scottish Rite hospital this Wednesday. Elliot had a condition called pyloric stenosis. Its where food in the stomach can't get to the intestines to be digested. There is a muscle called the pyloric that lets food out of the stomach. His was over developed causing very little food to digest, in the meantime the food (or milk in his case) was building up in the stomach with no place to go causing projectile vomiting.
This is the main symptom of the condition. (and it is horrible) 1 out of 400 kids get it. The cause is unknown. Still a mystery. Elliot had surgery on Monday. They went in through his belly button made a tiny slice on the pyloric muscle opening it up to allow food to pass through. He should be totally fine for the rest of his life. The surgery took maybe 15 minutes leaving no scars since he is so young.
All things considered it is not that big of a deal. There are a lot worse things out there. Lets just hope and pray this is all the bumps in the road for him.
It has been a crazy first month! Elliot is doing great now. Eating well and holding it all in! Yippie no more projectile!!!! Howie's collar bone is doing better. Lots of screws in his shoulder and a nice scar. Mom is doing fine. Ready for no more hospitals.
Hope everyone is ready for the holiday's!!! Drink and be merry..

Krim Howie Elliot Finn

Hello everyone. We are all hanging in. Elliot is doing great. He is growing and getting more handsome everyday. Here are a few pictures of him, and one with Howie's mother. It is so sweet. Howie is going back to work this week with this Gimp self. I will go back next week part time. Oh how the time goes by fast. For of those who have not met him, cant wait for you to. For those who have, thanks for the visits. We love you all and hope everyone has a very happy Thanksgiving.

Oh Dad!

Well dad took his first mountain bike ride after Elliot Finn was born and........ broke his collar bone in 4 places. These are a few of him and his bike. Life has been fun to say the least. Howie had surgery and is recovering. Painful to say the least! We are doing fine, just wish Howie a quick recovery!
