Four months

Baby rolls

Playing with daddy

Sitting up... almost

Play time

Climbing under his activity gym with him...

Sweet, sleeping boy

I could sit and watch him sleep all day long. Seriously.

Just another Wednesday

Eli now has pretty good head control and just today was enjoying his view from the sling. He likes being upright and looking out (and being close to mom or dad). As he's starting to get a little heavy, I think this sling might start to get some frequent use!

On the coast...

We are having such a good time on a gorgeous weekend. Eli's first beach trip!

one (mostly) happy baby

Would you believe he had a super tough time going down this afternoon based on these pictures? (let's just say there may have been a few tears all around).

But one has to love how sleep resets everything for babies :)

And in the meantime we are loving these great big smiles!

Eli is 100 days old!

We didn't do anything too big for the occasion, but did enjoy a Korean lunch here at home and a nice long drive in the sunny afternoon (which Eli happily slept through).

The many faces of baby Eli

Need a little love?

At work...

I've created an activity gym of sorts for the boy at work. I just can't carry anything else with me, so the one from home has to stay at home. But Eli has been pleased as could be while with me lately. He is such a good sleeper during the day and clearly very social... loves smiling at anyone who smiles and talks to him. And just this week has started grabbing...

On a Saturday

We went out for ice cream to celebrate a friends little boy. Eli smiled at all the people there and then fell asleep next to his daddy.

three months

My how they've flown by.
We can truly say that three months with Eli have brought us more joy than we could have imagined.

So to you son...
Thanks for all the smiles
The cooing
The grinning
The excitement
The wonder

We simply can't imagine our hearts any fuller. Happy 3 month-aversary!

family.

We had a lovely, fun weekend with my parents and sister. Eli was baptized on Sunday. Just a couple pictures...

Eating dinner...

With the baby!

Still...

1) enjoying his rocker while mom loads dishes
2) looking at everything around him
3) enjoying his activity gym, which has him cooing and even laughing often these days
