My Little 49er!


A couple pictures of Luke trying on his 49er gear! Looks like he is already a fan! At 4 months old, he weighed in at 16 lbs. 13 oz. and measured 26.5 inches long! 85% for weight and 95% for height - where did this kid come from?!

Bad, Bad Blogger

Wow - its been way too long since I last posted. Life with two has been busy and I have a lot to catch up on since I last posted (3 months ago!!). We are now pretty much used to life as a family of four ... can't ever imagine what we did without our little "Duke" who now goes by the nicknames of Lukey, Dukey, Cliffoder, Lukey Loo, Dukester, Cliffidocious and more! Most of these were given by Mia who lovingly calls him "Luke Cliffoder" because she can't quite get the Christopher right.

The past months have been filled with fun - two trips to Tahoe, Luke's Baptism, various summer field trips, family dinners, visitors from Atlanta, and Mia and Luke were able to meet their cousin Anthony for the first time when Daniel's brother Mike and his wife AD brought him up to NorCal for a weekend in late April. Below are some pictures of the cousins meeting for the first time - Anthony is exactly a month older than Luke.




I will update more in separate posts ... have to save some fun for later ;-) Have a great weekend!

Introducing Baby Duke!








On Thursday, March 25th we welcomed Mia's baby brother Luke Christopher Elkington to the world. He weighed 8 lbs 3 oz and measured 20.5 inches long! Big boy! Mia was thrilled about his arrival although shortly after he arrived home she told me he eats too much (which is true - he would nurse all day long if I let him!) In fact, we took him to his 2 week doctor appointment yesterday and he had gained an inch in length making him in the 93 percentile for height and he weighed 8 lbs 9 oz (the doctor was simply hoping he would be back up to his birth weight, which he clearly exceeded)! Below are some pictures of little Luke's first days!
