Elliot Walter meets Walter Sr.















Choosing a name for my son was not a hard task to do. My brother suggested the name Elliot. I had always wanted to name my daughter, Eleanor, after my Nana. I once had a doctor tell me that I'd never have a healthy baby boy. So when I found out I was having a son... and that he was 100% healthy... I was in shock!


Elliot is named after Eleanor. His middle name is Walter. Walter is my Grandfather's name and my Father's name. We will call him Walter in Polish. :)


Elliot was able to meet his GG PopWalt this Thanksgiving and it was wonderful. My grandfather told me how proud he was of me, and that meant a lot to me. His approval is important to me. No real reason why, it just is. He's a great man and I'm blessed to be nearly 30 years old and still have my grandfather. He's my only grandparent left.


My Grandfather and my Dad have always been there for me. They're wonderful men and I hope Elliot grows to be a man of strong moral character.


Just look at my Grandfather's face... he's so proud and excited to have a second great grandson. I'm so proud to just have Elliot in my life. He's a dream come true. :)





Elliot meets Rachel and Joyce!







Big Cousins! Elliot met a lot of people in the span of 24 hours. On Thanksgiving he met his big cousin, Rachel. Rachel did such a good job holding Elliot. Way to go, Rachel!


Joycie wasn't so sure what to do with Elliot at first because he is so small. Her daddy (my big brother) introduced her to Elliot. By the end of the night I think it became quite clear that Elliot is going to be good friends with his big cousins Rachel and Joyce.

Elliot's first bath!





















Elliot had his first bath on Thanksgiving morning. It was definitely an interesting experience for him!


At first, he SCREAMED and did NOT like the water. But once he was in the warm water, he cheered up.


I hope he enjoys water as much as I do... and as much as his cousins do. I can't wait until summer when I can take him to "Mommy and Me" swim classes.


After his bath he took a super long nap. Bathing is hard work! He's so cool. I think I'll keep him. :P
