Happy First Day of Summer

Mom got to sit outside in the sun for the first time this year, even if it was for an hour. 

And this is how we get work done.  You never want to be put down <3 always close to mom.

Enjoying Grand Haven Beach. Our first time at the beach together!! 

Skittles always looking out for his little bro. 

Every year summer always seems to fly by. We are now able to get into a routine where we can enjoy the summer days and it is only halfway through.
The day that I walked out of the hospital with you 5.5.2014 it has been so beautiful out!

First "Real" Smile at 6 Weeks

This was my first from you. Your smile. You have smiled before, but in your sleep or after you had a full bottle, which I adore. It was as if I just saw you win the Olympics. You did it!!  I love it, it is so pure and joyful.  I mean just look at that smirk!!! I can't get enough.

Elis 1st Video Debut- Full Belly

This is my milk face.

More of my milk face.

I am so entertained by all of your expressions "the many faces of Eli". Your milk face, milk drunk, milk coma how ever you want to call it I can't get enough. Until a few weeks ago I though you would always have this frowny face. I swear you are working every muscle in your face to work up some of those grins.

Eli: 1 Month Old

Grandma got you your outfit at the hospital. We are going to see how much you grow each month.

I Love to sleep.

I Love to take walks with Mom.

Sometimes I Love to do tummy time but most of the time I end up checking myself out in the mirror.

You can always catch me making funny faces.

Mom said I am a pro at being a cuddle bug.

Thats right I am a heart breaker, just check out these guns.

I am Loving bath time.

We have lots of play time and at the end we are all tuckered out, even Skittles.

Eli-
They say it goes by so fast. I feel like every second I lay here with you watching you grow into your own, everyone else is passing us by. I live in the moment with you and it all passes us by. You have taught me to be patient and to live every moment every day.

Month Highlights:
Sleeping, Pooping, and keeping mom up all through the nights.
You are still eating every 2.5 hours and throughout the night.
