Tony's Camera!

We finally uploaded pictures from Tonys camera onto my computer! So some of these pictures are from last month, but I will provide commentary so you needn't worry on figuring out the time period or happenings of the pictures.



This is when Papa Mickey came to visit at the beginning of November!


Some of the first documented smiley photos were taken while Papa Mickey was here.

And here are those pictures from Snowbird I promised

And heres a funny picture of when Elijah fell asleep sitting up

And in case anyone is wondering what Elijah wants for Christmas, he told me he wants this.

really. thats what you should get us. i mean, elijah..... cupcakes!

Introducing: the Mad Face

In all its glory

In this one he has spit bubbles and it looks like a mustache

The Holidays are here!

Hooray! its what we have been waiting for all year! We are smack dab in the middle of the holiday season. Ive had christmas decorations sitting on the floor for three weeks and i just now got some of the lights up and set up my tiny christmas trees. Lazy, I suppose. But as long as i can see the decorations, its good. even if they're on the floor.

Yesterday, we were getting ready to go out for the day and tony asked for some hair product. Sure! what do you need? Some pomade? ok! Then i went on to explain how to properly use it, make your hair look nice. I went and milled around for a bit then I came back to the bathroom only to find this:

He used it to curl his mustache.

Tony has had two days off in a row this week! He supposed to be scheduled like that normally, but he normally works some overtime. So what did we do with our time together? Errands! Hooray! but we mixed in some fun too. Like going to Lowes, walking around the mall!, going to buy some art stuff for painting, walking around temple square and seeing the christmas lights! Today we drove up to Snowbird and it was already full of skiers and snowboarders. We walked around and found that it was much colder there than it was just ten minutes down the road. It was about 42 degrees in the valley and 27 up at snowbird. Luckily Elijah was wearing his snuggly bear suit.

Now we are back home chilling out. watched oprah. played with elijah. napped.

I will see if I can load some pics from Tonys camera so you all can see pics from snowbird today!

More smiles

Elijah is getting better at responding. Result: I can more accurately predict when he will smile and capture better photos!

For instance,

And the infamous open mouth smile/snarl

Postpartum

So No knees and I have finally started working out. First we took a lap around the track to warm up. Elijah came too.

He made me do a number of ungodly tasks. Lunges, leg curls, hip abduction, and that was just day one! Ok, so it wasnt so bad but for some reason I am incredibly sore anyway. Maybe it has something to do with barely using those muscles in the past 6 or so months. Maybe. just sayin. But Im excited to get in shape. I asked if he could get me looking cut by christmas and he just said, "maybe you'll loose 8 lbs or so"

What! What?! 8lbs?.... I'll take it! Elijah is happy for me.

This is a cute onesie that tony's friend had made for elijah!

and right as i am posting this, elijah peed out of his diaper, all over me. while wearing that very onesie.

Elijah: A baby story

For the sake of codenames, my husband will henceforth be referred to as No Knees.

No Knees is still in denver so I have been finding ways to fill my time; walking around Gardner Village smelling the bakery, walking around IKEA smelling the furniture, and today I cleaned somewhat. The excitement never ends!

So I just FINALLY found out how to get pictures uploaded from my phone! huzzah! so now I can update all I want with new current yeeowza pictures.

Here is a snippet of the events of elijah's life from birth to now.

One day old! we are still in the hospital

First day home! couldnt fit in his hat yet

Here he is about 2 weeks old. his newborn onesie is so baggy

Maybe three weeks old. Cousin lizzie was visiting!

He is very focused here. This was just last week, 8 weeks old.

Today! This was the best shot I could get of a smile. A sort of smile. maybe a snarl.

The filler photos of 4-7 weeks can be seen in the previous post.

A bloggin' we will go, A bloggin' we will go,

Hooray a blog! I would like to thank Jenny for setting up the beautiful decor and taking care of the first post for me. Im lookin forward to all the comments of how funny I am and how adorable little E is. I would post more recent pictures but unfortunately all the pictures are on Tones camera and I dont have the software to load them up on my lappy. He is in Denver for the week visiting his bestie and auntie and alas, he took his computer with him.

So you will just have to make due for now with these...
