Happy Easter from Elias and meeting Uncle Keet and Aunt Hillary

Happy Easter from our little bunny! :)

Thanks for the adorable outfit Vonda! We didn't get a picture, but he had a fluffy tail on his bum too! :)



Elias all bundled up and ready to go to Grandma's



Uncle Keet meeting Elias---Are they both screaming?!? I think this picture is hilarious and for some reason it was the only picture we got of Unlce Keet holding him.




Aunt Hillary holding Elias next to his cousin who will be joining the family soon!

Time is flying by and I can't believe on Monday Elias will be 4 weeks old! We are adjusting to a family of three and it is keeping us VERY busy, but we are truly enjoying this little blessing God has given us. The first few weeks were such a blur, but I feel like things are starting to finally settle down and we are starting to get a routine down-- (as much as you can with a newborn). I am somewhat struggling with this whole breastfeeding thing, but the good thing is that Elias doesn't seem to notice as he is a great eater. He is probably about 8 pounds now. If you think about it please pray that this whole breasfeeing thing takes a turn for the better soon because I desperately do not want to stop. Todd went back to work this week, so Elias and I have been hanging out during the day and when Todd gets home he excitedly takes over for the evening for father and son time. Todd is such a good daddy and it seems that Elias really enjoys his evenings with daddy. I am excited for the weather to get nice so that we can go to some of daddy's baseball games (he coaches 7th grade b-ball).
I have to share one funny story----Last night Todd gave him a bath and right before he put him in his little tub he got a surprise attack of pee and a completely drenched shirt...HAHAll All I could do was laugh as I have gotten hit at least 5-10 times!! :) Well, since Elias is taking a nap I need to get some things done before he wakes up.

New Elias pictures

Elias and Shelby bonding....We will see how this goes as he gets older and mobile.


Elias in his swing--as you can see it usually puts him to sleep


Elias after his first bath---he actually enjoyed it for the most part.



A few minutes later---I guess it wore him out!
