Six Month Old Monkey

Elliott had his six month check up this afternoon. He's weighing in at a hefty 18 lbs, 4.5 oz. Amazingly that's only 70% for babies. What do the other 30% look like? Also, amazingly, when I was a year old I was 19 lbs! E is also 28" long, 90%. Guess that means he's getting his height from Dan and not from me.

We had a pretty busy April and May looks to be the same. This past Saturday we took Elliott to the Portland Timber's soccer game. It's a minor league soccer team, but Portland is hoping to push through getting an MSL team by 2011. With my horrible luck, we are now all sick. :( Hopefully it's just a quick cold and we'll be better soon.

Here are some recent pictures of Elliott as he practices to sit and crawl around the house. Also, some from our trip to the beach last month.

This one doesn't even look like him to me:
