MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM ELI & SANTA!!!!

Brooke gets married

Last weekend my friend Brooke tied the knot! And I had the honor of standing by her side, along with some of my favorite friends! Enjoy the fun pictures!

Christmas Time

I got this great idea from my friend Susan, and so here is Eli with his first official stocking! :) Enjoy!!!!!!!!

Eli's Acting Debut

Eli had his acting debut this past weekend! He did an excellent job and was the sweetest baby Jesus!! I was obviously Mary and granddaddy was a king.

Getting bigger!

Family Time

Taking a picture with mom

We recently got to spend an entire weekend with my family. You will see in the pictures that Eli really enjoys playing with his cousins. His NEWEST cousin, Stella, arrived on Monday evening and he can't wait to see her. We got to hold her in the hospital and she is BEAUTIFUL! (just like her mama!) Have a happy Thanksgiving!

Eli and his hats

Eli has been enjoying the fall weather and the ability to wear a HAT! He is proudly wearing three of his favorite hats a lot lately and i wanted you to see how incredibly AWESOME he looks! Enjoy! Wait...that's not your hat!!! My Sunday-going-to-church hat

Checking out the exersaucer for the 1st time...notice all of the spit-up! HA! Ha!!

Getting bigger!!!

Eli is growing and currently is a 10 pounder! :) Here are some of the latest photos of our little bundle of joy! (Sorry- I am not a good blogger and it takes me so long to update!) Laughing at Daddy!
Photo Session with Mom!

Our cute little pumpkin!

Mom - why do you have this silly thing on my head!

I think that my mom is obsessed with taking my picture!

Smiling with Eli

The following photos show our latest attempt of catching Eli smiling at the camera!

Fall Traditions

Eli has been enjoying some awesome Fall traditions. Gold Rush, Old Fashion Sunday at church, Burt's Pumpkin Farm, and picking apples in Ellijay! Hope you enjoy the pictures!

6 weeks and counting

Eli is 6 weeks old!!! I can't believe how fast the time has gone by, and he is doing new things every day. He has recently found his hands and has thoroughly enjoyed sucking on them. He is also smiling for the first time and talking back to me. He is obviously quoting Trig ratios and geometry formulas, so i know he is off to a great mathematical career. Also, we have enjoyed spending quality time with some important people in Eli's life. Eli and his Mimi

Grandmama and Granddaddy (notice the fingers are in the mouth!)

Full body shot

You can almost see the smile coming out!! :)

Practice makes perfect...

Our very good friends, the Bennett's, are expecting a baby in April. Josh came over and visited with Eli right after he was born and really wanted to hold him. Without hesitation, I handed him over. However, this picture shows that Josh needs to come and visit a little more often!! Congrats on becoming new parents! We can't wait to meet your little one! We love you guys! PS- Josh- Donna told me that I could put this picture on my blog! I hope you don't mind! :)

Big Events in the life of Eli

Eli has enjoyed many fun events in the past couple of weeks. He is growing so quickly and currently weighs in at 7 lbs and 14 ozs!!! WAHOO!!! Here is a family picture after the first official bath! He didn't enjoy it so much because we didn't have the water warm enough!! Bath #2 was much better!! Our first visit to church was a success, but Eli didn't like the bright sun where mom wanted to take a picture!!

After church we came home and had a photo session!!! I love this picture with his cute Sunday outfit!!

I just love to stare at my daddy

See ya later!


We are visiting Grandmama & Granddaddy and Madelyn came over to play. She is a silly girl!

I LOVE KETCHUP!!!!!!!
