What have we been up to??

So these pictures are in no particular order so just random stuff. We have been busy the last couple of weeks. We were in Ohio for a week for a little break and to see my sister Kristy get married. It was a beautiful wedding and we had a great time!! While there we drove ALOT, but we got to see a lot of good friends who we miss dearly. The trip was good, but we were glad to be home and out of the car at the end of the week.

Jacob is gone again for another 10 days, so Elijah and I are hanging out again. Before Jacob left we took videos of him reading a few stories so we can have "Story Time With Dad" (as he has started calling it) every night with Elijah.

So now for random pictures!!

We have been having some awesome weather lately so we decided to see if Elijah likes swimming as much as baths and no such luck!!

Although he is not happy we think the picture is pretty funny! He is so cute. We have looked everywhere for swimming diapers to fit him but no luck, they don't make them that small.

We tried and tried but he wasn't having it so we will tray again another day when it's nice.

Elijah has been holding his head up so well we decided to try out the Bumbo seat and he loves it.

Here he is looking so grown up, he is 12 weeks today!

We think he is pretty handsome!

Elijah is a dancing machine, here he is at Aunt Kristy's wedding reception showing us his moves.

So now I think we are caught up again, but I have a screaming baby so I guess I better go!!

My Latest Creation

I was taking some pictures to send to Jacob today and these were so cute I had to show everyone. I just made his shirt today and I am loving it, it turned out really cute. Plus my model is pretty handsome so that always helps!!

Do you just love his smile!!

The shirt I made for him today, what do you think?

So yesterday all he wanted to do was stand. So I leaned him up against the couch and he was loving it. He stood long enough to get two pictures, crazy. I think he wants to walk! He looks so big, I can't believe it.

Two Months

I can't believe it has been two months already! Elijah is getting bigger by the day, he now weighs 9.6 and is 24 inches tall. We are in a weird place with clothes right now. Newborns are getting to small but the 0-3 are to big! We have been having lots of fun. We started going to reading time at the library, lots of walks with the dog, reading books, and playing. He has started to smile more and it makes me laugh cause its soo cute!! Here are a few random photos our little dude!!

Not looking to happy, but still so cute!

Daddy at our first story time!

We had such a great time at the library.

All dressed up for church! We like to look cute for the YW!!!!

What a wonderful gift we have been blessed with!

One Handsome Fella

Its been just over three weeks since our lives changed. We have loved and cherished each moment. Elijah has brought a whole new meaning into our world and a great spirit into our home. We have realized that he is still so close to his Heavenly Father, when we are down stairs in our family room, he is always looking at the picture of the temple and sometimes smiling! We are truly blessed to have this little guy in our family.


Here are some photos that Jennifer took, again AMAZING.

What a cute little face.

So Sleepy!!

Enjoying a nap with his Daddy.
How does one girl get so lucky to have both these men in her life?

Those big eyes just make me melt

So happy being a Mom.

A little sad news, Jacob has gone back to work now and unfortunately is going out to sea next week. I have loved having him home with me and he has been AMAZING. He has taken such good care of the both of us. Thank you my love for all that you have done, you are AWESOME!!

Grandpappy & Grandma's Handy Work

Elijah is one lucky boy!!!!

When I first found out I was pregnant, I asked my Dad to make a changing table for us. The response I got was a chuckle! The last thing I remember him making were desks when we were a lot younger. I knew he enjoyed wood working, but rarely had the time to do it since he works so hard. Dad accepted the challenge and I think it turned out AWESOME. While Grandma Margaret was here she finished off the table with a changing pad. In theory we thought it would be pretty simple...we were WRONG. It's done and it fits and that's all that matters!! Jacob and I love it and we are sure Elijah will too. Thank You Grandpappy and Grandma for all your hard work. We Love You.

Grandma's Changing Pad

All together it looks GREAT

Fits perfectly in Elijah's room.

Do you think he likes it?

I must tell you that I think my Dad is pretty talented. He told me he didn't even have a plan for the table, but kind of made it up as he went along. So for no written plans...PRETTY AMAZING.

It fits him pretty well I think!
