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!!!!!!!
