Pictures












Christmas pictures for 2008. Elijah is now 9 months old and growing so fast. He can take a few steps on his own but prefers to scoot around on the floor.



Precious Prints

For those of you who know someone over seas, across the world or country, or just someone you cant not be with take a look at this site.

My cousin and I have started this adorable thing call Precious Prints. She started it because my Uncle Dean was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2007. They are soft little balls wrapped in felt with a loved ones (grandchild or child, etc) hand print on them. We are currently looking for more colors and such and will be updating more and more.

Please check out our site and let us know if you want to order any of them.

9 month check up!!

Well, Elijah had to go to the doctor today. WOO-HOO!! No shots or blood tests, no needles. He weighs 17 pounds, 28 inches long and his head is 46 cm. I know his weight is scary sounding, but doc said since he started out small that his growth curve is on the right track and said that between now and about 2 years his weight will just steadily increase. The major thing they look at his how his head is growing and well he is a healthy baby boy. Doc said between now and 1 year he will steadily be able to eat more table foods, which shoot he does that now, when Fan & I eat.

He is also getting to where he is getting braver to stand on his own for longer periods.

I am already starting to try to plan his 1 year birthday. He may not remember it much, but we will have lots of pictures and fun and I want to make it a big deal on his birthday every year. For now we will have it at our place for the most part.

Thats all for now!

Growing, Growing....

Well, Elijah is growing almost too fast for me to blink. He can now whistle once in a while. If he does something good we say "yeah" and clap and now he claps too and smiles at us. He can give us high fives. If you ask him how a lizard goes, he moves his tongue in and out. Last night Fan & I were walking him back and forth between us and we got him to take 3 steps on his own.

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving! My dad's only brother came down from Montana and his two sisters from Ohio came down and we had everyone together totaling some where around 40 people more or less. Eli had some turkey, ham, cheesy noodles, bread, rice, mashed potatoes, juice, pumpkin pie, cheese cake, deviled eggs, and green beans. Only little bits of everything, but still sounds like a lot.

We did not attempt the Black Friday shopping event. Kinda glad. My brother stayed over and we watched movies and relaxed.

Sunday, we had a friends Thanksgiving with Andrew, Amber & Kelsey; Glen, Brandy & Emma; Jo'elle & Cody; and Dustin. It was a good night. Eli had more turkey, mashed potatoes and green bean casserole. Then had some mashed lima beans, sweet potato, and pears.

Well thats about it for now. I will post again after Christmas. Hopefully by then I will have Elijah's online photobook page done with only current photos to add. :)

Lovies,
Fan, Sara & Elijah.
