Time Flies...

On Monday the 16th, El will be twelve weeks old.

Think about it. Three months. Sheesh.

Things have been going well. Hil is taking her Praxis test today... which is pretty much the most important test she has ever taken (other than the pregnancy one.. har har!!). She feels she did very well on the first part this morning.. but is anxious about the second part. I'm sure she'll do fine. She always does. :)

I myself haven't been up to much. Working... I played hockey for the first time in a while on Tuesday.. ummm.. that's about it. Still waiting for my interview which is going to be sometime after the 25th. I'm preparing for that.

Anyways.. enough with the boring stuff... let's get to Big El Photos. We even have some video's this week.

He is definitely growing up. He notices things a lot more, uses his hands to bat at things hanging in front of him, scoots around the floor using his legs while on his back, ALMOST rolling over.. and we're starting him on sitting up. His balance side to side is ok.. but forward to backwards forget about it. His motor skills are definitely starting to refine themselves... and it's amazing to watch.

Oh yeah.... the photos... Click to see the full size:

We had a heat wave last week. El got plenty of naked tummy time. Here are some photos of him cooling down:

Hogging the fan...


Damp rag on his forehead..


I couldn't pick which one of these naked tummy time photos to put up... so I'm putting all of them up.













Happy boy!


Camera-phone Photos:








Here are some cute videos:

Here is El failing miserably at trying to NOT be cute....


Elliott playing peek-a-boo with Papa and Emma...


Elliott started to use his legs. Here he is in his bouncing chair. Note the phone book underneath so his feet can reach!



That's about all we got. He will be going swimming for the first time tomorrow... so stay tuned!

BONUS UPDATE!!!

I JUST took some photos of El playing with the animals that hang from his bouncing chair.. he was loving it! Here they are:












Also.. El made me a father's day gift at day care. I don't know what kind of seeds they are but I'm going to find out. I'll post progress photos when they sprout.
