1-2 Months

Whew - Elliott finally turned 1 month old, and lots of exciting things were happening. My dear friends MaryHadley and Mary came all the way from Atlanta for a long weekend to help me, give me lots of support and love, and cook lots and lots of food! It was a perfect visit, and I was very sad when they left. But luckily, Elliott continued to get cuter and cuter and soon started to smile, which filled my days with happiness.

In his 2nd month, he also started getting out a bit more - going to Aunt Gail's for his very first Thanksgiving, on the "Noe" Stroll with Wandee, Jon and Isla, to his Daddy's work Christmas party, and back to Aunt Gail's again to start off the holiday celebrations early.


First Thanksgiving - he slept through the entire meal, so Mommy and Daddy could enjoy the delicious feast prepared by Aunt Gail and Uncle Chuck
