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.
