Let me show you how it's done!
My brother Jules is SO funny
Don't be fooled - Elliott was placed in this position. He's not crawling yet.

Elliott Can Sit Up Unassisted!
This weekend we reached another milestone for Elliott: unassisted sitting! Yes, you have to put him in the right position, and yes, you have to keep your hands ready just in case, but he can sit without help for minutes! It makes for much more fun playing for him, I think. He seems to really enjoy it.
And he's a regular chatterbox! He's verbalizing like a rock star. We've even heard him say ma-ma and da-da, and sometimes it even sounds like he's using them contextually appropriately! For example, I walked away to throw something in the garbage and he goes, "Ma ma ma ma!" It could just be convenient timing, but it makes me feel like he's calling for me. It's very sweet.

Absent Again!
Sorry we've been absent again from updating the blog. Paul went away again and I just find it so difficult to do anything in the evenings after getting the boys to bed. The last thing I want to do is go all the way to the basement to load pictures onto the computer and then compose posts. This is really a shame - we have SO MANY cute pictures. I'll see if I can try and get some up this weekend.
The boys are doing well, although both have been struck with illnesses recently. Jules got sick (fever of 103!) earlier this week but is now recovered, at least fever-wise. He still has the standard cough/runny nose that every kid has this time of year. The upside of him being sick was many-fold: 1) he stayed home Monday and Tuesday and we had fun together, just he and I; it hasn't been just the two of us in a long time, 2) he took epic naps (the longest was 4.5 hours, but we got a 2 and a 3 hour nap from him too), and 3) my mom came down to help out while he was sick; this coincided with Paul being away so I got some extra help that I was extremely grateful for.
Elliott got his first cold and it's been a doozy, especially with Paul out of town! He's very snotty and cough-y, but is in good spirits despite that. It's definitely affecting his sleep so I've been using the humidifier in his room and it seems to help a little. Poor boy - there's nothing worse than hearing him sneeze while driving to/from day care and knowing his face is covered in snot and there's nothing I can do about it.
Elliott is huge! He'll be 5 months next week and I think he's finally doubled his weight. He started off pretty big (~9 lbs) so it's taken a while. He can almost sit up unassisted and he can rotate when on his belly, but no true forward (or backward) movement yet. The ladies at day care comment frequently on how happy and smiley of a baby he is.
Jules is almost 3 - I can't believe it! Sometimes he surprises me with the sophistication and maturity of the things he says; other times he can't articulate what's wrong. It's an interesting (and frustrating!) juxtaposition. The ladies at day care comment frequently on how smart he is. He's fully potty-trained during the day and we've transitioned him from the kiddy potty to the toilet; he's still in pull-ups at night, but will usually wake up dry so maybe that is coming soon.
So that's the latest! Special thanks again to my mom for helping out in a pinch - you're the greatest!
