Smiles!























Eliot reached the six week mark this past week and celebrated by flashing us some pretty unmistakably intentional smiles. He has also been working on his baby vocabulary of coos and gurgles.





















Enjoying some delightful dinner conversation with Noni.











Working on his vice-like grip on Noni's finger.


















I'm so glad that you can't spoil an infant, because Eliot loves to be held and I love holding him. Someday soon he will be a big boy, more interested in Legos and Spiderman than cuddling with Mama, and I savor this time with him. Also, I love it when babies are small enough to curl their little legs up under them. So sweet!

A Quilt From Gigi




A very special quilt from Gigi.














Handmade with love.

























Eliot is making good use of it already.

A visit with the Youngs

Last week Spencer's dad's family came to town to visit us (Eliot). We had a great time with them and Eliot certainly enjoyed the extra attention.


Hu Eliot, Spencer Eliot and Eliot Arthur. Three generations of Young fellas.


Getting in some quality cuddle time with Nana and Uncle Hugo.
Uncle Hugo did an excellent job holding, soothing and making it clear where hockey loyalties lie.
Baby Theatre. Who knew that someone who does so little could command so much attention?
Eliot looks forward to seeing more family soon!
