Gigantor

Eliot seems to have doubled in size over night. We took him to the doc for a shot on Thursday, and found out that he now weighs 17lb 5oz. (75%) and is 27inches (90%). He's 5 1/2 months, and seems to be pretty healthy overall. He's just started to sprout a little blond hair that sticks up most of the time now, and has been chattering a lot lately.

Eliot is overall a really good natured baby and is particularly happy in the mornings. He eats breakfast in bed, and then hangs out with Derek and me for an hour before we get ready to go to class. He smiles a lot at people, but LOVES to share a good laugh with Daddy in the mornings.

Boo** has also begun a regiment of rice cereal, of which he is a great fan. We tried some peas and got bitterly poor reviews, so we'll be moving on to fruit this week.

** "boo" is apparently officially trademarked by David Decosimo, so David, here's your royalty nod.
