2 month well baby visit

Yesterday our little Eli, or shall I say big Eli, had his two month doctor's appointment. He is weighing in at 12 pounds 10 1/2 ounces and is 24 1/2 inches long! When the doctor put him on the scale, I said, is that too big?? He said no, he's a tall boy! He is getting quite the personality and talking, smiling, and cooing at me and his daddy all the time! I have never seen such a happy baby, unless he is tired or hungry! Yesterday he got two shots and screamed after the second one! Believe it or not, I had never heard him make that much noise except for the day he was born!

I can't believe that I am heading back to school in about two weeks! The time has gone by so quickly, and I know it will be hard to leave the little guy. Thankfully my job allows me to have a spring break and a summer vacation yet to come!

I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas:)

6 Weeks Old!

Eli is 6 weeks old today and boy how does time fly! We have the sweetest, most laid back baby and have enjoyed getting to know him. He smiles all the time, but of course we could not get him to for these pictures! Daddy gave him the punk hairdo in the second picture! This onesie says it all, the grandparents have already spoiled this little guy rotten! Eli and I have been staying warm and cozy the last few days and will enjoy this month before I have to go back to work in January.









Here's my sweet boy at 16 weeks. I know he has gotten bigger since then with all the moving and kicks. Mom thinks he has the sweetest profile and I couldn't agree more!!

21 weeks pregnant!
Here is a picture of my growing belly! I haven't really felt big until now, but I couldn't be happier! Eli is kicking and growing everyday. I feel like he might be working on a dance routine to break out when he's born! He is an active baby, and I love feeling his little, love kicks and punches!!

Here's my hubby Scott getting ready to paint the baby's room. We decided on a light green to go with his bedding. Being the animal lover that I am, I decided on a bedding suit that has dogs, pigs, cows, and just about every cute animal there is! I can't wait to get his room ready to go!

This is what the little dude's nursery is going to look like. I told you it was full of fuzzy, wuzzy baby animals of all sorts! My friend Kyrie is a fantastic artist, so we are going to try to figure out how she can add a special "touch" to Eli's room!

On Mother's Day Eli and mommy got a lot of cute surprises! I especially love the I love Mommy hat and socks!
