Elliott Todd Jones was born healthy and beautiful on August 19. He weighed 8 lbs 2 oz. and was 21 5/8" long. We named him Elliott because we liked it and Todd after my dad. Here are some early pictures of our awesome little guy.

Kelly is a master swaddler!
Apparently we thought he was going to get away
Kelly's coworker friend JP's baby was born the day after Elliott in the same hospital, which was pretty neat, so they got to share the excitement in a special way.

He is SO beautiful! Hope you're loving every minute with your little Elliott...as exhausting as those newborn days are, they go by far too quickly. Soak them up! Lots of love to all three of you.
