this last week my dad has been visiting from france to meet his grandson. it’s been a really good visit and for the most part elliott did great all week with the new faces and strange schedules we’ve subjected him to. today in anticipation of my dad leaving we had a family photo shoot at a nearby park with my dad’s fantastic new camera.

elliott started smiling the day after his one month birthday, but we hadn’t been able to capture it on film, until today!

so everyone says that my dad is the person that elliott most takes after. i’m not so sure.

justin’s mom gave us a grip of his old baby clothes and we’re trying to get a picture of elliott in each outfit at least once before he outgrows them. so far this yellow sleeper/jumpsuit is my favorite and i’m way sad that he won’t be able to wear it much longer.

and did i mention i cut off all my hair? breastfeeding with long hair all up in my face was more than i could take.

it was shorter than i was expecting, but i think it’s cute nonetheless. i specifically told her not to give me mommy hair and i think she did a good job. but whatevs, it’s just hair.

anyway, it was a great visit and we were all sad to see my dad go.

p.s. sorry for the weird formatting issues. it’s that time of year where we need to change our blog layout again.

You guys are so cute all together. Elliott is a sweetie. I’m really happy for you guys! And Sarah I really like your hair. The hair thing is an issue for me. I can’t figure out what style I want to stick with. So I might just change it all the time. That’s fun. Short hair is fun but I have to get it trimmed way more often than I wish I did. Anyway I really like it on you and you are a super cute family. Sometimes I think, I want another wee one. Then I think, mine is still pretty wee, and I like sleeping, so I think I’ll enjoy that for a while.

i love his little smile! it’s too bad izzy already is betrothed.

i think elliot looks a lot like justin, actually. it’s pretty hard to tell at his age, but his lips and smile look like justin to me. his eyes sort of too.

your hair is super cute as well. i wish i could stay short, but it’s been harder short than it has been long. so i am just going for the bangs with plain-ish hair. it always worked fine for me before.

**it’s about time you put up some pics of that baby. why do you have to be so selfish?

that elliott is so amazingly handsome and i love that he is sporting his dad’s clothes.

I think you should do some photoshopping of Justin’s head in the last picture from the picture above. Only because its in true Bytheway style, of course.

I can’t tell who he looks like either. In the first two, he looks like he has your dads eyes, then when your dad is holding him, he looks like Ryan. crazy. But I like his face in the last picture. and Justins face in the one of him and Elliott. good times.

he definitely got justin’s mouth, that and his chin are the only parts i can identify.

i was looking back at pictures of him from the day he was born and it’s incredible how much he’s changed in 6 weeks. the funniest thing is that all the hair that used to be on top of his head is now on the sides of his head since his head grew faster than his hair.
