We’ve had so much going on that I haven’t had a chance to post any photos for months. \u00a0Now 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. \u00a0So I am posting a ton of pictures here going back to early November, when Eli was only a few weeks old to early February. \u00a0He is growing and changing so much; already over 14 pounds. \u00a0He’s got chunky thighs now and chubby cheeks, he smiles all the time and already loves Jordan. \u00a0They both really love each other. \u00a0I love watching them together.<\/p>\n

Here we go in order. \u00a0(Oops,\u00a0I accidentally had the date\/time stamp on some of the photos.)<\/p>\n
