Tis the Season!

Seems so hard to believe that 2011 has a mere 3 days left before we are celebrating a New Year.
In 2 days I will be 31 years old. Last year I was 20 weeks pregnant as we celebrated my birthday and the New Year. This year we have a beautiful 35 week old baby boy!

He is crawling and showing us bits and pieces of his personality. He grunts at us when things don't go his way, boy we are in for it. He is showing us affection, he will lay his sweet little head on our shoulders and hold it there for a few seconds then look into our eyes. Melts my heart.

Eli fills our home with joy, when he is napping it's so quite and I find myself being bored (well after laundry and cleaning is done).

Christmas was so much fun! He loved tearing open his presents only to attempt to eat the wrapping paper and bows.

I am a little bummed that Eli has been a little under the weather but that hasn't stopped him from playing with his new toys and keeping me on my toes. Since the last 7 months and 4 weeks have been nothing short of amazing I look forward to the months to come!

Wowzers!

Sometimes I feel like I just blinked and bam our little man is 7 months but oh no my friends the last 7 months have been a great, beautiful, exciting, scary at times roller coaster ride.  This picture captures this new thing he does where he starts out crying then ends up laughing. It's fun to watch this little man develop what "I" think is the cutest personality EVER!  He is quite the diverse eater these days, cereal with fruit in the mornings and veggies like sweet potatoes, green beans or peas for dinner.  Still nursing no changes there. He is still figuring the sippy cup out. He mostly likes to throw onto the floor from his high chair and watch daddy pick it up.  Eli is battling his first ear infection right now, all the mucous makes him mad.  I totally relate though.  Here are a couple more of our little man in action!
