Elliot and his new friend cookie monster!
The casts are off! Yipee - we couldn't be more excited....now the braces! We've survived our 1st week with them, only 11 more to go! He wears them 23 hours a day for 12 weeks and then at night and during naps until he's 4 and once he's 4 they should be all perfect! He seems to be working thru the braces and getting used to them - he will have super strong legs by the end of this whole adventure that's for sure.
Since the casts have come off we've been able to get an acurate weight...on Friday Elliot weighed 9lbs 6oz! We feel like he's been that weight for a long time now! Our goal was 10lbs by the end of Feb but that's in 3 days so I don't think that's going to happen.
Elliot has a new friend....Cookie Monster - Elliot loves cookie monster it's so cute - he laughs at him, snuggles him and even tries to eat him! We think the solid one color toy is just what Elliot needed!
We also took Elliot out on an adventure last week to meet his CHaD Buddy for the CHaD Battle of the Badges Hockey game in March - they pair up children with hockey players to raise money and have a huge very successful and fun hockey game for everyone to attend! We went to the kick off - our police hockey player was unable to come buy we had a very good stand in who posed with us for a photo! The game is March 31st at the Verizon Arena and the tickets at $10.00! Let us know if you want to join us for a wonderful game and an even better cause!! Our CHaD police buddy has set a goal of $5,000.00 so all the money we bring in goes towards his goal!
Just Chillin!
