We hope that everyone had a safe and happy Christmas! We enjoyed our first Christmas with Elijah. Christmas Eve Elijah's cousins Hannah and Caden got to meet him for the first time. Hannah was very excited and talked a lot about "baby Elijah". We had fun going to church, eating and watching Hannah and Caden open presents on Christmas Eve. On Christmas Day we went over to Abby's Grandma's house and had a fun time with cousins and aunts and uncles.

One month old

Elijah turned a month old last week! We can't believe he is that old already! At his doctors visit last week he weighed 5 pounds 8 ounces!! You can really start to see the fat on his legs, arms and well pretty much everywhere. He finally fits into his skin. He also grew an inch (he is 18 inches now). We can tell because he is starting to grow out of his preemie clothes. He is getting out of the house more now too...we have taken him to church the last two weeks and he even did a little shopping last week. He does very well as long as he is moving :)

Merry Christmas

On Saturday we took our first family Christmas Picture with Elijah...he was not the most happy about it, but we had fun.

We thought we would have fun and wear our snow hats in one of them!

A few more pictures

Okay, while I have time today I thought I would post a few more pictures of our cutie.

Three Weeks Old

Elijah is Three weeks old now. He is changing so much. He now weighs 4 pounds 11 ounces!! He is gaining over an ounce a day...what a big boy! Yesterday (Thursday) he had a car seat test done to make sure he could withstand his normal car seat and get out of the car bed. He did wonderfully. We are happy to have him in a normal car seat...much easier.

This is Elijah in his new hat for winter...still a bit big but cute

First Bath

Here are some pictures from Elijah's first bath. He enjoyed most of it!

Trying to keep warm as we washed him

He really enjoyed getting his hair washed...the warm water put him to sleep.
