Snug as a bug



Well it's not like being pregnant, but the MOBY wrap is the closest thing I can get to feeling kicks and movements from the inside. This wrap keeps Elijah snug next to me and allows me to use two hands! We can dance, make dinner, take walks....all with no hands. Love it....and so does he!

Splish Splash!



At first we thought we just may have caught Elijah at a good time when he received his first real bath because he did not cry at all. In fact he seemed to LOVE it! And he's enjoyed every bath since then too.

Piano Lessons with Daddy


Well it's never too early to start piano lessons! Everyday daddy takes Elijah over to the piano and begins teaching chords and scales. We even wrote a teaching song together, you'll have to hear it sometime.

The piano also holds as the ultimate soother for Elijah. He seems to love the sound of Daddy tickling the ivories.

Elijah Miles is full of smiles



Although most of Elijah's smiles happen while in a peaceful slumber, he has also been seen giving smiles which seem appropriately so when awake.

Diaper Daddy

Ok, here is the game:
Elijah poops and needs to be changed. So daddy takes the changing diapers role. I get him all cleaned up and ready to go with his one-sie on and then it happens.........round 2. The whole diaper is dirty again. Repeat above and then round 3.

Doah!!!

This happens many times through the night so I'm having a talk with Elijah this evening to figure it out.

Fun times!

Bringing in the New Year...



Welcoming 2008 with many joyous times ahead! Elijah came ready to celebrate.

Daddy's Birthday 12-31-07

Big Outing



While family was in town visiting and Mama over here was getting stir crazy, we decided to have a nice outing into San Francisco cruisin' around town and ending up at the Marin Headlands for an incredible view. We experienced many diaper changes on the go in the car. The weather, although deceivingly clear, was quite windy and cold for little Elijah to go out in. We joked that Ashly finally got out of the house but was now stuck in the car feeding Elijah. Luckily the weather was not too windy and cold at the top of the Headlands so we brought Elijah out for just a little bit for the view and some photos.

Elijah's appearances around town...





Elijah had his first appearance coming home from the hospital, but since then he has been seen around the neighborhood in his sling Aunt Kelli & Uncle Nathan got him or strollin around in his amazing stroller our Tallahassee family got for him. He loves both the sling and stroller which is great for Mom and Dad because we need to get out of the house every now and then. He usually falls into a deep slumber while in motion.

Daddy's Feet



Looks like Elijah definitely has Daddy's feet. He also has nice long fingers like his Daddy too.
