Elli's a BANANA

It's been a while since my last post. Not much has changed, Elli keeps getting more fun and is continuing to grow so tall. Elli got to spend some fun time with her grandparents this week. The boys (a.k.a. Greg, Syd and Chris) went to Detroit for a Coldplay concert on Monday and Tuesday. To help me out Greg asked my parents to come on Sunday and Monday and his mom to come on Tuesday. After my parents left on Monday night I swear she was looking all around for them and was super ticked when all she saw was me. I'm pretty sure she got really spoiled Monday and Tuesday. That's what grandparents are for! Thanks mom, dad and Sally!! You guys are the best!!!

I went to support group yesterday morning to get Elli weighed and was discouraged when she only gained 3 ounces since last week. Typical gain is 4 - 6 oz. When I talked to the health care professional there she whipped out her trusty book and read an excerpt about banana shaped babies (versus apple or pear shaped) are those babies that are longer than average and skinny. They have hyper-metabolism and are usually always on the move, burning more calories quicker than most babies and typically growing in height more than weight. So, I am not going to start worrying again and will just believe that Elli is a banana. :)

Elli is teething...I'm 100% sure. She's got all the symptoms especially that of being unpredictable. I feel so bad for her and am looking forward to seeing that first tooth.

Here is a video and some pictures...

This was at our church's Harvest Party on Halloween. The little boy below is one of the candidates for Elli's future husband! :)

Elli and I both have on our Bears shirts and brown yoga pants before the Bears game! :)

HAPPY FIVE MONTH BIRTHDAY, ELLIOT!!
