10 weeks old


Our little Elijah is celebrating a milestone today, with his 10 week birthday. He is enjoying sleeping in the sling at the moment, feeling sad with congestion and some fever, unfortunately. He and Isaac have both had a hard week. Overall though, he has been the sweetest, most easygoing little fellow, and we're so happy to have shared this much of his life so far. Isaac and Abigail are enjoying interacting with him more and more since he now gives some smiles, giggles, and coos.

At his 2 month check-up Monday, Dr. G. was happy that even though he'd been feeling puny, he was still in the 95th percentile for his length and weight - 14 pounds, 10.5 ounces. He's quite a little chunky monkey, and enjoys eating often and whatever Mama has had. Like Abigail, he is an easy, avid nurser, with no tummy problems, and isn't negatively affected by my intake, for which I'm very grateful.

These are a few shots taken over the last month or so, of his precious features. Thank you Lord, for our sweet son!

Grant had a little swirl like that in his hair when he was a baby- I always loved it.
Such very sweet pictures.

Oh my goodness!! This is cuter than Alli's baby puppy collage!! (obviously, as he's a real human baby and all)
I love all of your pics, especially the sweet baby head. I used to love my boys' soft little heads.
He's so cute, girl!
