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.
