We’ve had so much going on that I haven’t had a chance to post any photos for months.  Now that Eli is sleeping in his own room and giving us a chance to sleep a little bit, we are starting to go back to our real lives.  So I am posting a ton of pictures here going back to early November, when Eli was only a few weeks old to early February.  He is growing and changing so much; already over 14 pounds.  He’s got chunky thighs now and chubby cheeks, he smiles all the time and already loves Jordan.  They both really love each other.  I love watching them together.

Here we go in order.  (Oops, I accidentally had the date/time stamp on some of the photos.)

Eli at 3 weeks, still a sleepy newborn…

At about 1 month old:

Meanwhile, Jordan is still completely car and truck obsessed…

 

Here was one of the first times we ventured out as a family of four into the scary world.  The changing leaves on our street made it a beautiful walk:

 

 

Here’s Eli at about 5-6 weeks:

He’s not always smiling of course

 

 

Hopefully if he’s not smiling, Jordan is:

We were finally able to move back into our house.  Here’s what the neighbor’s new house looked like then:

 

Jordan getting much more interested in construction, wearing his hat and often playing with his tools

Here is Eli at 4 months old.  Happy and healthy.  We feel so lucky.  Hopefully I will do a better job of keeping up with photos now.  Ill also post some recent videos soon

Here’s one recent video of Eli
