Benton Loves Elliott

We are so very excited to welcome baby Elliott into our friend family! Elliott was born on August 6th, and is the daughter of one of my very best friends, Erica, and her husband, Kevin. I have waited 6 long years for baby Estep!!! :) She is so sweet and cute...and amazingly alert for a newborn (notice in the picture below that Elliott is checking everything out while Benton is snoozing away).



Ummm, how did my little baby boy get so big?! Elliott weighed 7 pounds, 5 ounces at birth, while Benton weighed 7 pounds, 3 ounces. Now, Elliott (5 days old) weighs 7 pounds, 1 ounce, and Benton (11 weeks old) weighs in at a hefty 15+ pounds. I didn't realize how big he really was until we laid them down next to each other.

We are so, so excited for the Estep family, and look forward to raising our sweet babies together!!!

Note: Erica had Elliott without an epidural. She is a rockstar! I am sure that she was smiling the whole time (for real). :)
