3 MONTHS OLD!!!
It is hard to believe Elan is 3 months old today, but time flies! He is more and more fun every day as he smiles and is cooing now too. He has just figured out how to move his figurines on his toy that hangs above his head. He used to look at them when we moved them, but now he puts his hands over his head and moves them himself.

Some Pictures to Share...
Elan went to visit his Granny Ogletree on October 14th. This is his great-grandmother who lives in Carrollton, GA. Here are some pictures.
These pictures are from twelve weeks old. His little shoes came from Noni and Abuelito (grandparents from my side) and his little outfit came from Larry and Patricia Maxey, good friends of ours. He is all ready for a big day at church!

Elan had his 2 month shots yesterday, so they weighed him. At 12 weeks, he weighed 11 lbs 14 oz. and is 24 inches long. He keeps getting long for his clothes! He can wear newborn stuff if we don't button all the snaps, and he can fit in 3 month clothes, though they are almost short on him too.
New pictures coming soon...we went to see his great grandmother last weekend, so I have a few pictures of that. Also, we will be taking his 3 month pictures in about a week.

ELAN UPDATE
Elan is 11 weeks old today. On Monday of this week I took him to the surgeon in Atlanta who checked his incision from his surgery. She said he is all healed up. On Tuesday I took him to get him weighed. After eating, he weighed 11 lbs and 1/2 ounce. Still a growing boy!
Last weekend my college roommate and her husband came to visit (Caroline and Barry). We all had a good time with Elan.
This week has been an exceptionally good week for Elan. Many people know I am following a book called Babywise. It really does work! The first weeks are hard, but it falls into place. Elan now eats every three hours, with his day beginning between 7 and 7:30 AM. He eats, stays up for another hour or hour and a half, and when he gets fussy, goes down for a nap (to hopefully last an hour). The nap times used to involve up to 45 minutes of crying. Now he has learned nap time means go to sleep. I can lay him down, and he is often literally asleep in 5 minutes (no crying!). At eight weeks and a few days, he slept through the night, skipped a night, and slept through the night again. Then he had the surgery which got him off for a few days. After another week, he is now sleeping through the night some nights. He slept through Sat night, missed Sun night, did it again Mon and Tues night, but not last night. He eats at 7 PM or 7:30 PM and goes to bed about 9 PM. If he wakes up at all, it tends to be between 4 and 5:30 AM.
Sorry I haven't written sooner--I have not had my computer.
Here are a few of the latest pics we have taken...
