Family Update!

So, the Elwer family has had a lot going on in the past week or so. Last Thursday, the 26th, "Uncle Andy" came out from Georgia to meet Bennett. It was great to have Andy come hang out! He and Bennett got along very well (as you can see below) and Bennett even shared his room with Andy - not that Bennett has ever slept in his room, but he was more than happy to share anyways! The only sad part was that Andy's trip to CA was only 46 hours long! Hopefully he will get to come back soon!

The day after Andy left the Elwer family all got a cold! So we did a lot of movie watching and resting for about 3 days straight. Adam had to pull himself out of bed everyday and still go to work because he took all his sick days when Bennett was born, so his cold lasted a few days longer then Sarah and Bennett's cold, but he's feeling better now.

As far as Bennett goes, he was a trooper through his first cold! Sleeping was difficult but he pulled through with the help of the humidifier! Bennett is becoming more and more his own person. He's taken to smiling at people and things and it is now very noticeable if he likes what he is doing or not! He loves his bouncy seat because it gives him time to chat with his friends the bears. He is also very happy that Mommy and Daddy decided to start using the swing because he loves to chit-chat with his toys in there, as well as sneak in a quick nap! We have also had some much more favorable experiences with the bath! He loves it up until the point where he starts to get cold when he's getting rinsed off.

A few firsts we had this past week were: first time in a baseball hat and first time in overalls! Both went over very well, not that you can tell from the baseball hat picture, but he was just hungry and not wanting to be photographed at the moment.
