3 Months Old!



Elias turned 3 months old last Saturday. We can not believe how much our little boy has grown and changed. He went to the doctor for reflux a few weeks ago and weighed in at a whopping 12 lbs 14 oz. He is so much fun. He loves to smile and talk to us very loudly. I wonder which parent he got that from? He has given us a few little giggles when he thinks we are being silly. Overall we are trying to say that our son is amazing! We hope you enjoy a few of his three month pictures that his Grammy took.
Our big three month old is also about to embark on the world of air travel. We will leave for Georgia tomorrow morning for Aubrey's Birthday, and then leave next Thursday for Michigan for my cousin Jenn's wedding. Our little man is going to be an old pro at flying by the time he is one. Please say a pray that he travels well. We don't want to be the people on the plane with the screaming baby that no one wants to sit near.

Fun at the Park!

Matthew is off work on Tuesdays, so we took advantage of this and went to the Rolesville Park for the afternoon (well really just an hour, Elias needed a nap). We had a great time! We went for a short walk on the trail, played on the playground, and even practiced some calisthenics. Here
are a few pictures of our family fun. Isn't Elias soooo cute!

This is how Elias rolls

Here is a video of Elias that we made. We found out that he could do this the other day and wanted to share it with those that are interested.

2 Months Old!




We can't believe that our little boy is two months old! It is amazing how quickly he is growing. We took him for his two month check up on Thursday.

Here are his recent stats:
weight = 11 lbs 13.4oz (55%)
height = 23 1/2 in (75%)
head = 38 cm (15%)

The doctor said that he is growing wonderfully and doing well. We did find out that our little man has a small case of reflux. Bless his heart he has to take Mylanta like an old man. Hopefully it will work well and give him some relief. He still loves to smile and coo. He plays with his "friends" and now talks to them too. He has found his hands and feet, and is fascinated by them as well as other peoples hands. I think he spent a good 10 min looking and talking to his Grammy's hand yesterday. It was too cute. We hope you enjoy this new picture of our big two month old. We are still amazed daily that the Lord has given us such a blessing in giving us our son. It makes us realize even more the sacrifice that was made on Calvary, when God sent his son to be the one and only sacrifice for our sins. For this we are grateful!

Elias' smile





Here is a picture of how Elias is smiling. It is a very open-mouthed smile, and we definitely prefer and look forward to it anytime. Some other pics as well of Elias after his bath.
