Last Week

One month old.

Elijah turned one month last week! He had an exciting week too. Wednesday a friend and her 6 month old daughter came over to show us their cloth diapers and help us make a decisions as to which ones we want to use. His cloth diapers are supposed to arrive today! I will try to post on those later this week. On Thursday Eli went to his one month check up and he weighs 12lbs 3oz! And is 23 inches long! That's the 93% for weight and 98% for height...he's a big boy! Friday night we had a Jr. High movie night at church. Elijah enjoyed watching the beginning of the new Winnie the Pooh movie, talking with Jody and Rosie, and playing Communist Church. Saturday he spent some quality time with Daddy and Sunday was church and youth group again!

It's hard to believe Eli is already one month old, but it also is hard to remember what it was like without him. He is growing and changing on a daily basis. Yesterday he had a rough evening and, after finally sleeping for a while, I woke him up to get him ready for bed. He was in such a happy mood, and he SMILED! More than once! It was such a reward after an exhausting evening of him crying. This morning he woke up smiling too! Hopefully I can get a picture of it so everyone can catch a glimpse of our happy boy! Until then here are a few pictures from the week...

Fresh out of his bath.

I bought this outfit for my nephew 5 years ago. And now my son can wear it. :)

We have a cute kid. :)
