Elias Gabriel is 10 1/2 weeks old

Elias Gabriel is already 10 1/2 weeks old....and doing very well. At his 2 month check-up he weighed 14 lbs, and was 2 feet in length! He is in the 95th percentile for height and weight...which means there are only 5% of babies larger than him...He is a very sweet boy and loves to cuddle. He smiles and laughs a lot and thinks his big brothers are great. Here are some recent photos....(taken by Aunt Steffie). We hope that you are all well.... Melissa & Co. xo xo

If the ice cream is great and the air is stinky...you must be at Manning's Dairy...This is always a big treat for the twinners.....and a bigger treat for Mommy who loves to watch her little boys enjoy themselves.
