The New Kid

He's not so new anymore. He's almost 4 months old. 4 MONTHS OLD, PEOPLE! And I've posted maybe two pictures of him since he got home from the hospital. If you remember what my other boys looked like as babies, you already know what Eli looks like, but I figured I'd post a few pics anyway.


Just after delivery:
 About 1 week old:
So tiny here that the bottle was bigger than his face:
 About three weeks old, with siblings and Gma T:
 At about a month old:

Almost 1 month: 
(I couldn't figure out what Isaac was doing in this picture until I realized I'd told him not to breathe on the baby.  So he was holding his breath)

Almost 1 month:

1 1/2 months old, next to Adam:

About 2 1/2 months old with pouty lips and chubby cheeks:

2 1/2 months:
 Three months:
3 months: trying to find his thumb:
3 months: with Gpa Ron in SD
 3 1/2 months old, looking very similar to boys 1, 2, and 3:

We love our little man!  He'll cuddle when he's asleep, but when he's awake, he wants to be out facing the world.  And even then he doesn't sit in my arms.  He holds his legs straight and his head up, like he's trying to stand up.  He's starting to giggle when we tickle him.  (But really, it sounds like a painful little cry for help, "Please stop tickling me, stop, STOP!"  He'll coo every once in awhile and he loves to look at faces.  He's a sweet little guy and we're thankful that "Eli, eli-oh" came to our home!
