BIG Sister


Now that Elijah has joined our family, Katelyn just seems so big!  She continues to enjoy spying her letters wherever we are and loves to play ABC school in the bathtub!!  Bath-time has never been so much fun!  She got the foam letters and numbers for her b-day.  The other day, she put all her letters in a row, told me what they all were, then pointed under them and said "Helicopter"!  "I read, Mommy!  I read!"

Smiles, Smiles Everywhere!!!




Elijah has stolen our hearts with his contagious smiles!!!  We love our little man :)

Snow Day!





Katelyn and her cousins, Isabel, Alyssa, and Emma had a blast building a snow fort and snowman on the first Snow Day of the year!!! Aunt Jeanne was in charge of all the kiddos :)

Few Favorite December Pics!




Unfortunately, Katelyn refuses to hold Baby Elijah...this is as close as it gets!  (She does love him very much, but is limited to kisses and rubbing his fuzzy hair!)

Baby Elijah Growing and Changing!

                                 Our handsome VERY LONG little man!
This is a fuzzy picture, BUT one of Elijah's first smiles :)....he started smiling one week ago at 4 1/2 weeks.......after reading Katelyn's baby book, she started smiling at the exact same time!
Nothing cuter than a cozy baby with his warm little hat and BIG pacifer (that takes up 1/3 of his face :)
One of my favorite things about watching Elijah sleep is seeing where he places his hands....folded like he's praying, covering his little eyes, resting under his chin like the "perfect innocent child" that he is :) or cuddled up by his face like this.
