Look What I Can Do! - Number 3

Sir Laugh A Lot

Eli had fun with Uncle Trev swinging a pillow.

Look What I Can Do!

Yesterday Eli rolled over for the first time. He seems to be a stubborn boy who will do what he wants, when he wants...regardless of what his mother thinks!

He also recently discovered his toes, which actually makes changing him significantly easier!

Look What I Can Do! - Number 2

Tonight Jess had a Women's Fireside at church, which left Eli and I at home. The plan was to start bath time at 7:30pm, read some books, then put him down for the night. At around 7:10pm, little man started filling his diaper, no big deal, so I took him up to change him. While holding his feet up, I started to clean his bum. All was going well until I heard little man start to kind of gargle on his drool a little. I lowered his feet to see a line of wetness going from his nether regions up his belly and chest and finally culminating on his face. I then realized that it was not drool he was gargling on. Needless to say, we started bath time a little early tonight!

All clean!

Bowling Fun

Yesterday we went bowling with the Nielsen's and Herzoff's. Here are a few shots (don't get mad if you did or did not make it one here).

Just missed it!

I'm not sure what's worse, missing the pins or that face!

Anxiously waiting.

This is a silly little girl who was done with bowling by the 4th frame!

A Post!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's been a while. I'll try to be better, but no promises. As most of you know, Eli joined our family back in November. Yes, it's been four months and we haven't posted a single picture of him on this blog. Making up for the last four months of not blogging will come slowly, but for now I'll try to keep you current. Here is a clip of our little man enjoying his bath on 3/14/2011.

In the Nick of Time

As some of you may know, we have been refinishing a crib the last few months. It is the crib that Jess used as a baby. Jess' parents offered it to us and we thought it would be a fun project as well as save us a little money.

Covered in 20 years of dust from the barn.

After hours and hours of sanding.

Isn't she cute?

Priming and avoiding breathing in the cloud of primer so as not to hurt the baby.

On Saturday November 20th, eight days before Jess' due date, I decided I'd better put the crib together in the baby's room. Good thing I did, because that night Jess woke up with contractions! Twelve or so hours later, he was here!

It really is much more white than these pictures portray.
