Got a phone call today from the buyer, and the title company gal. The loan documents came thru today and the buyers went up and signed the paperwork today at 2 pm. We go in tomorrow and sign our portion at 10 am, woot!
This is such a huge weight lifted off our shoulders, so many questions loomed over us, are we going to have go back to work at BOEC, thank all that's holy, NO!!!
Today was also Elliot's 6 month check up, which of course, meant more vaccination shots :(
He did good though, cried a lot more than last time, but I think that's cause he got the Needle Nazi again today, she wasn't as gentle and caring as his last nurse I didn't think.
We couldn't believe how much he's grown since he was born, its hard to imagine that 6 months ago when we brought him home he only weighed 5 lbs and 3 ounces and was 17.5 inches tall. Today he tipped the scales at 16 lbs 5 ounces, and was a whopping 27 1/4" tall!!!!!!! He's such a big boy! The doctor was really surprised too and told us most premature babies usually take up to 18 months to catch up on the growth chart, but not our boy! Where most of them plateau out at this stage, Elliot is continuing to climb thru the charts in both weight and height. He makes us proud...think how much prouder we'd be if he hadn't decided to get up at 4 freaking am this morning for the day!!!!
We got home from the doctors appointment and decided it was time to start trying some food other than mom's milk, so he got his first real bowl of rice cereal. We'd tried to give him a little before in the past, but he just wasn't having it, today was a total different story though. It was as if a switch had been thrown since we talked to the doctor about starting him on food. He took to it like a champ! He loves the spoon, its fun to hold onto and chew on, mostly cause he is starting to teeth also. After a couple weeks of cereal we will move onto bigger and better things.

Thank goodness everything went great for you.......really, I mean it. I'm not crying--can't mess up the makeup.
My baby boy is growing too fast, just like all my other babies. It has not been 6 months, I swear it was just last week he was born! Let him have some squash! That will look purty on mom's face when the spittin starts. Can't wait to see a shot of that one!!!
Where has this stuff been all my life and by the way what is it. Mom
You Both are doing a great job with Dad
