Groooowing boy

So I am sooo sorry I haven't blogged in a few weeks! Its so hard to peel myself away from this little boy!!
We are doing pretty good. Eli is doing awesome. He is defintely developing the best personality. We had a really rough week a few weeks back, but I figured out that it was my diet (b/c I'm breastfeeding), and made some adjustments and now he is doing awesome. Unless he is hungry, has a dirty diaper, and sometimes he likes to fight sleep...he is the happiest baby. He is so content laying on the couch staring at the ceiling fan or listening to me sing silly songs. haha!
He is smiling more and more and growing bigger everyday!! I just love him and can't get enough! :) We went to the Dr. last week and he already weighs 9lbs 7oz!!
I go back to work on monday....its going to be sad to leave him..but hes just going to be with my mom and/or Zach...so it'll be ok...at least he won't be with a strange babysitter.

Here are some pictures of the last few weeks!! :) enjoy! :)

I just love this picture. This was his first "real" smile. He just looooves this box of wipes that has a picture of Winnie the pooh and friends. He just loves it. It has allowed me to get dressed and do laundry...hahaha. Thank you Winnie the Pooh and Huggies wipes.

[[[our precious boy]]]

We met a wonderful gal at the tanning salon a few years ago, named Cory Bracey! She is a talented, talented, awesome photographer! She took our family pictures, Morgans senior pictures, and now onto Mr. Eli!! My mom was finally trying to pick out Morgans senior pictures and Cory said she had just 2 hours yesterday available and she would fit us in to do Eli's pictures. So we went....soooo excited! He was your typical newborn. He was asleep when we first got there (which is how we got the picture you will see in a second) then he woke up and SCREEEEEEAMED. We pumped him with food, and he cooperated enough to get some great pictures.
I loooooove pictures. . .and even better I love pictures of our little man. I can't wait for everyone to see ALLL the pictures we took, but for now this one little sneak preview will do! enjoy!!!
