7 months old!

Elias is now 7 mth old! It is hard to believe that much time has gown by. What a blessing from God he continues to be every day. We know it has been a while since our last post, but we will try to update more frequently. He isn't crawling yet, but he is now pushing up on his knees and rocking back and forth so it probably won't be long now (he usually goes backward). His personality is starting to show really well as well. Sorry we missed his 6 month post, but our computer has problemsl. At his 6 month check up he was 15.6 lbs and 26 inch. That puts him in the 10%, so he is just a little guy, but a sure cute one. Here are some pics from the past few weeks.

Elias' first snow!

Christmas!

We had a wonderful Christmas with our families! We spent the weekend before christmas with my family and christmas day with Matthew's family. Here are a few pictures from our time. Elias had so much fun seeing everyone.

Elias and the napkins!

Last week I was cooking dinner while waiting for Matthew to come home from work. Because it is usally later Elias is a little fussy. I usually put him in his Bumbo seat and let him help me cook(Well at least hold a spatula or something). This time instead of putting him on the counter, I put him on the table. Here is what took place....

Humm...What are these?

Lets see what they are all about.

I wonder what they taste like?


Ewww! Yuck!



That was fun! Look at the mess I made. Anyone need a napkin?

Too Cute!

Elias is sooo cute! Of course we can say that because he is ours, but once you take a look at these new pics I think you will agree. He is growing so fast these days. Sometimes when he wakes up in the morning (by the way he sleeps from 8pm-7am Praise the Lord!) I swear he has grown in some way. I don't know if these pictures show it, but his hair is growing too. It is very light blonde, all except the patch of brown in the back. He likes to roll over, but only when he is in his bed. We haven't quite figured that out. He also likes to attempt to sit up and play with toys. He is so much fun especially when he laughs. It just melts our hearts. I would say (Tara) my favorite thing is to watch him when he is with Matthew. He absolutley loves his daddy! It is too cute. Well we just wanted to give you a quick little update. Enjoy the new pics of Elias having fun!

4 Months Old!

Our little Elias is now 4 months old! Time has flown by so fast. We were just looking at pictures of him the other day and were noticing how much he has changed. We went to the doctor this morning and here are the recent stats:

Weight: 14lbs 2oz

Height: 25 3/4in

Head: 40.5 cm

Doctor Hamp said that he is doing wonderful! He even said that our little man was smart. I am sure he says that to a lot of parents, however, he said it because of what Elias did. He was trying to look in his ears and Elias was trying to push the thing out of his hand and then when he went to the other ear Elias tried to cover up his ear. It was cute to see. His reflux medicine is working great it just seems our next big obsticle would be Elias sleeping through the night. The doctor said that he should be able to sleep all night without being fed. So we are in for a few rough nights as we teach him how to do this. Our son is already playing us and we don't want to give in to him.

In other news Elias is so much fun! He loves to play and his new favorite thing is blowing rasperries. Here are a few new pics of him in his new seat. Thanks Nana and Grandaddy!

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.
