Trying to Blow Bubbles

Mama sure loves to pose with Eli, who was in the middle of blowing a few bubbles and catching a little TV. But since he has fans and he doesn't want to disappoint, he graciously faces the camera this time for a tender mama to son photo. Isn't he precious?!

Happy Grandparents Day!!

Eli surprised all of his grandparents on GPD with gifts. Eli loves his grandparents very much and he knows that they love him too!

Stop! I'm ticklish....

Eli loves to smile and enjoys play-time, but sometimes he gets too ticklish for his own good. Here is Eli's deddy enjoying one of the rare times that Eli is tied down and can't do anything about it!! These happy times are bound to last a long time.

At first Eli wants to know why mamma is so focused with the camera, but decides he wants to play up to the camera with a couple of big smiles!! Our precious little one is more beautiful than we could have ever imagined....

Swim Party!!

Courtesy of our friend Heidi, Eli had the chance to go swimming for the first time. At first he thought it was a giant bathtub and was becoming upset, but soon realized that no soap would be used this time and calmed down a bit. Thanks go out to Dr. M for this wonderful occasion!!!

My smile has finally been captured!

Only Papa can make him do it on

command as Eli always seems

to respond with a big grin of pure
happiness

My 1st Trip!!

Eli, mamma and deddy spent a few days in Gatlinburg with Granna and Papa for a little rest and relaxation. Here is the family in front of the Pancake Pantry, a favorite destination of mamma's, who would hurt ANYONE that would keep her from this place when visiting the Smokies.
