Get yours today!

Announcing the unveiling of the Elliott Boy® 2004 model! We've been hard at work for the past two years to bring you an even better babyhood experience. Some of our new features include:small ears

We've reduced the size of the ears and also tucked them flat against the head. The improved aerodynamics should result in a net .15% increase in speed- invaluable when you've got a mommy chasing you! Note also the new color scheme- dark brown hair makes the 2004 Elliott Boy® model more easily distinguishable from the older models.

We've trimmed the weight down by another pound from the Elliott Boy® 2002 (down 2 pounds from the 2000 model!). This makes for lean and trim fingers, ideal for playing a piano or high-speed typing on a computer keyboard. This lightweight Elliott Boy® is more portable than ever- take him everywhere!

We'd like to point out that we rolled out this year's model 18 days ahead of schedule- how many of our competitors can beat that timeline?
We're very happy that Daniel came to join us, although the timing was a bit of a surprise. He was born on June 18, which is also hi
s Uncle Nathan's birthday. So far, all three boys have been born on birthdays from Caroline's side of the family (2 brothers and her mom). Her baby brother Ben has already laid claim to the next one, so mark your 2006 calendars on May 10 for our next addition.

Daniel gave us a little bit of a scare- he was born screaming and yelling, but after a minute or two he decided that breathing was too much work and gave up on it. The doctors and nurses did a wonderful job of getting him going again (his pulse took a dive when he quit breathing), and he spent his first night under a hood on 100% oxygen. He was weaned off of that by mid-morning the next day, and when he was about 25 hours old they finally let him move into his mommy's hospital room. He kept on improving, and he and his mom were able to come home from the hospital less than two days after he was born. Taylor and Joshua love him to death and think he is the most incredible thing they have ever seen. Mommy & Daddy kind of think so, too.
