Growing Up So Fast!

Eli is 7 weeks old today - wow! He's celebrating by outgrowing the last of his newborn size outfits. A sleeper that fit him about a week ago is now so short his knees and elbows almost show. The good news here is that he's big enough to wear his cool new orange seahorse onesie (thanks Sarah, Eric, & Jed). It's size 3-6 months! And yes, that wet spot on his shirt is where he christened the new outfit with a little spit up, what's the fashionable baby to do?

Welcome to the World, Baby Girl!

Congratulations to James and Delana at pea patch post upon the arrival of their daughter Ellie on Wednesday.

In other news from Wednesday, Eli celebrated six weeks on the outside. He still isn't always sure about life in the big world, but now that he's got his first flannel shirt he's a little more comfortable - he really is his father's son.

Eli's First Picnic

Eli enjoyed his first picnic last Sunday at Bissett Park in Radford. He seems to love to be outdoors and was thrilled to learn that it was also possible to EAT outdoors -- two of his favorite things combined, how could life get any better?

Let's Do the Stroll

Eli celebrated his 4-week birthday by going for his first trip in his new stroller (thank you, Grandma and Grandpa). The stroller is nearly as much fun as the baby carrier, but Eli would like to note that the sidewalks in this town are very bumpy. Good thing he likes to be jiggled. I'd like to note that there are a lot of hills in this town, whew!

Three Weeks Old

Eli was three weeks old on Wednesday and he seems to be growing every day. Chris worries his head is growing faster than the rest of him, but our friend Delana says that is just the high level of intelligence showing up. Eli and I think Delana is pretty smart!

Here's some new photos. Check out the cute overalls, Farmer Brown, and don't miss the nifty sneakers (thanks Cynthia & Steve).






















And for those of you who know our 'problem kitty,' Seamus, you'll be really pleased to see this.... Apparently, Seamus' need for attention has finally overridden his skepticism about Eli.
