8 weeks already! and Happy Easter.

Hi all, I cant believe that Eli is already 8 weeks old. He is growing like a weed. Nick put him on the scale this morning and he weighed in at 10 lbs even. 10 POUNDS!! He is getting so big. I love my little man, he is so much fun. I tried to take some cute Easter pictures with him in his bunny hat, but he refused to open his eyes for the pictures. He is so stubborn sometimes. Here is his 8 week picture with Lightning McQueen.

Earlier this week, we went to see the Easter Bunny at the mall. I love that Eli decided to give me a smile for the picture. I know that this will probably be the last year that he will smile for the bunny and not be scared. He is so cute!!!

Eli is 7 weeks old

Here is Eli's 7 week picture. I cant believe how fast he is growing. He is officially out of newborn size clothes. I love how much he has started to react to things going on around him, and his smile makes me smile. I feel so lucky to be this little man's mom.

6 weeks of Eli

When Eli was born I made the goal to take a picture of him every day for a year. While I have missed a few days, I have been able to keep my second goal of taking a picture of him every Monday since he was born. Every picture will have his friend Lightning McQueen to have something to compare him to as he grows. It will be so fun to look back on these pictures and see how Eli changed every week. As the weeks go, I will try to post his weekly picture so you can see how is is growing.

Introducing Elijah Henry!

I am pleased to introduce Elijah Henry. We will be calling him Eli. He was born on February 13, 2012 at 3:23 am. He was 5 lbs 9oz and 18 3/4 in long. After a rough start, Eli is doing great. He is growing so fast. He is still small, but he seems so big to me now. Nick and I are loving being parents, it is better than either of us thought it would be. I cannot believe how fast time has gone, Eli is already 6 weeks old today! These pictures were taken when he was 8 days old.
