6 Month 3/10/09

Elliott is 6 months old. Here are his stats:
Weight: 18 3/4lbs (80%)
Height: 27 inches (80%)

He can sit while supported, loves to pound toys and tables with his thumb, is reaching and grabbing everything in sight and putting it all in his mouth.

We are looking forward to going on our cruise on March 15th. Elliott made the cut off for an infant to go on a cruise by 5 days. What a lucky boy!

Polar Plunge 3/7/09

Some of the Brooklyn Park police officers participated in the Law Enforcement Polar Plunge for the Special Olympics. Their team raised over $1000 to benefit the Special Olympics athletes. The officers not only raised a lot of money but they had a lot of fun. I got to go with as the chauffer for the group. They sure had a GREAT time!

Family Day at the Zoo 2/1/09

It had been a very cold and crappy winter. We really needed to go someplace warm, and we only had a day, so we headed to the MN Zoo. Of course, Elliott was sleeping when we got there and we were afraid that he was going to sleep his way through the zoo, but he woke up shortly after we got there and really enjoyed himself. Checking out the fishies.
Elliott and Dad checking out the sting rays and baby sharks.

Can you believe that there is actually a Camel in MN in the snow?

Elliott loved watching all the monkeys play in the snow.
