My Little Man

Elliott is becoming a Little Man. He LOVES to wear hats I think that he is absolutely adorable in them. He is also enjoying sitting up with support. I have gotten him a few sea themed shirts in preparation for our upcoming cruise in March.

4 Months

Elliott turned 4 months old on January 10, 2009.

Here are his stats:

Weight: 16 1/2 lbs (80%)

Height: 26 1/4 (90%)

His 4th month was very exciting. He started doing so many new things, he found his hands and enjoyed watching them move in front of him, he started grabbing toys, starting rolling onto his side and eventually rolled from back to stomach.

New Year's Eve

2008 went out with a bang! Joe was very excited to have a few friends over for a party on New Years Eve. That was a great idea until the day came. Joe woke up with bad stomach pains and stayed home from work. The pain kept increasing throughout the day. Of course, this was the last day of the year and our $4600 deductible started over the next day.

Joe called the Dr. and they didn't think that he needed to go to the ER or Urgent Care and could go in the following week.

At 7pm, just when people were showing up, Joe was doubled over in pain-he had a kidney stone. At one point during the night, people were showing up, Joe was lying in bed in horrible pain, Elliott was up and needed to eat and there were people partying in our garage. Needless to say, it was a VERY interesting night.

The pain subsided around 11pm, so Joe was able to ring in the New Year with his guests. Joe spent the next three days at home, trying to pass the stone and he eventually passed it 4 days later. I think that we went out to celebrate. Who knew a 2mm grain of sand could cause so much pain?

Christmas Day

Elliott had a very busy Christmas Day. The morning was spent with the Fisher side of the family. Great Aunt Sharon got to spend some quality time with her new nephews. Elliott and Aaron also got to spend some great time together. Aaron is 6 months and Elliott is 3.5 months. You can really see the difference. Great Uncle Rick and Great Aunt Sandy gave Elliott a horsey jumper for Christmas. He LOVES it. It neighs and gallops when he jumps.

The afternoon and evening was spent with the Haider side of the family. Uncle Jon, Aunt Jess, Maddie and Cason came in from Maine. This was the first time that all the Haider grandkids had ever been together. Family holidays will never be quiet again. We had our annual crab leg dinner and it was good like always.

Christmas Eve

Elliott had a WONDERFUL first Christmas. We went to Grandma and Grandpa Fisher's for Christmas Eve. He got to spend it with lots of people that love him. Charlotte and Nancy stopped over, along with Aunt Katie, Uncle Kyle, Great Grandma Jan, Great Aunts Joy and Sandy and Great Uncles Greg and Rick and Amanda and Adam. Great Aunt Sharon was in town from California for the week and loved spending time with her new nephews.

We had a White Elephant Exchange. Joy and Greg brought some interesting gifts-cow pies and stale food to name a few. Everyone had some great laughs.
