Elijah's Favorite Things

Oh my, have we been busy! I haven't posted in a few weeks and now I feel overwhelmed by all I could write. I'll will give the shortened version of what we have been up to this April.

We came back from Kentucky and had a fun Easter with family in MI. The following weekend our good friends and their son came to spend some time with us. We then went to WI to visit Tim's family and Elijah had his first impromptu stay at a hotel. Last week Elijah and I went to Grand Rapids twice to visit my sister and then some friends. Needless to say, time has been flying by and Elijah is changing SO much!

Elijah weighed 15lbs 10oz at his 2 month well baby check up. I am sure he is at least a pound heavier by now. He has discovered his hands and it is really fun to watch him try and figure out what he can do with them. He jabbers and smiles and is very close to laughing. I have been trying in vain to get a video of all the cute things he does, but whenever I start recording, he just stops and stares.

And now for the moment you've all been waiting for...pictures! And a list of some of Eli's favorite and not so favorite things.

Elijah's Favs
-Eating
Having a snack at the hotel.
-Any song by Third Day
-Baths
-Stretching and playing on the floor
-Getting his hair brushed
-Playing with his "friends" (He loves to talk to his many stuffed animals)
-Grandpa's chair
Elijah looks very plump. :)
-Mommy
-Naps with Daddy
-Sleep
A morning snooze
A few things Elijah does not enjoy
-Tummy time
-Long car rides
His 2 months picture taken after we got back from KY.
-Dirty diapers
-Having to wait to eat
-Polar Bears
This picture is worth making big so you can see the look of terror on Elijah's face. We tried to tell him the polar bear wasn't going to eat him...

  1. I don't know how no one has commented, (i guess it has taken me a SUPER long time to too) but that picture of Elijah and the Polar bear made sean and I laugh out loud for a good long time (esp. me). HAHA I could keep laughing...I loved it. :D I also like your list of Eli's faves/un-faves. well done.
