heres the little man at christmas. He loved the wrapping paper and tissue paper, he is scooting around alittle and grabbing at everything.

Merry Christmas

MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEARS




















Moses likes his new friend!






























He had fun with the wrapping paper!





























Well, we had a wonderful holiday! Eli got TONS of toys, books, clothes and cloth diapers! Eric got to see us on Christmas eve and Christmas morning over the web cam. We got our presents from him on Saturday. Eli got a teddy bear in camo and I got a iPod nano which Eric put all my favorite music onto (so sweet) We hope everyone is having a great holiday season also!

oooh I just want to squeeze him

this is how my sweet boy wakes up every morning! He is such a good baby.

christmas time is here

Eli eating Santa's head!


































We set up the Christmas tree on Friday, and had a little holiday dinner! It was very fun!

tummy time

to much work.

sick baby

oh it is so sad, Eli is sick for the first time! He has a terrible cough and sneezes all the time. They think he might have a little asthma. It is sad to see him sick- but he doesn't seem to mind. He is still happy and content. On the plus side, when I took him to the Doctor for his cold- they weighed him and he is up to 15 lbs 6 oz, which is good to see cause I felt like he hasn't been nursing as good lately- I guess he is just more efficient than he used to be.

More pictures for daddy!

This is my serious look














Always smiling!















Check out my muscles!!!!



















Let me count the roles!!!!














Sweet dreams little man.

laughing boy

Here is him laughing for you Eric.

Whoa he can stand

I think we skipped way to many steps here. Maybe we should learn to roll over first. We all walked at 8 months, maybe he's just getting ready?!?

the ladies man

Its been 1 month! It feels good to get that one out of the way- I hope it will go by faster now.

Our little ewok with the Star Wars crew

I am no longer writing much on here, because weird people I don't know keep leaving comments and it makes me realize that everything I say can be read by ANYONE. Its kinda creepy when strangers are like "you have a cute baby" I would make this blog private- but then my friends would have a hard time getting to it. I guess I will just have to be careful what I write, because of you weird, creepy blog staukers!!!

pumpkin time

more pumpkin patch pictures to come...

I wear camo for daddy

Micah is so good with Eli! He holds him for me all the time, and is really good at calming him down if he is fussy or bored. I was so surprized to see how well he holds him- he must be watching us good cause he even does the little back pat while he holds him.

Eric

They really look so much alike!!!

missing you

Eli and I are back in Washington now. He did awesome on the flight again and I had lots of people who held him for me. Bad news: Southwest airlines no longer lets families pre-board the plane! And SW is open seating, so this means a family may have to sit apart- or they have to ask people to move. I got a middle seat of course. I was not happy!

Well, Eli had his 2 month well baby exam. Here's the stats:
His doctor is very nice and gave us LOTS of info.
He weighs 13 lbs 6 oz!
He is 25 inches long
He needs to go to OHSU to see a cardiologist cause she thinks(maybe) she heard something in his heart.
He also needs to get a head CT to rule out anything serious with his lump on his head.
She isn't really concerned about either of those things, its more just precaution.

We heard from Eric on Sunday night and got to talk for about 15 minutes, and he finally called again this morning (Wednesday) but I didn't hear the phone- I just saw 5 missed calls :( So I am hoping he will call back VERY SOON! WE MISS YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He's gone
