Eli loves his daddy

I always find them just hanging out.  Oh, and I realize Mike is half naked in most of my posts......don't judge, we live in Texas.

Catching Up

This whole blogging thing is a lot more difficult when there's a baby thrown into the mix.  But regardless, we have been up to a few things and have some cute pictures to show for it.

First of all.....                                

It was Todd's birthday on the 13th 

and we all went to P.F. Chang's

Playing with friends.....

Brooklynn giving Eli loves and snuggles

She wanted to sit with him and just kept sitting on him

She finally got it

Eli and Quinn.  Such a rowdy bunch.

Dinner Goal.....

We had to put Eli under the table so he wasn't in the way

It was also Shane's birthday.  They made him ride the bull.

Better Update

 Alright, this ones for the fam.  I have been horrible at keeping my family updated with little E.i.'s life.  So this is what we've been up to.........

First time going to church.  It was Mother's Day and Eli's one month birthday!

A few naps.  We love naptime.  It's a rare occasion.

Bathtime

Now, this video is quite long, but all the action is in the beginning, so don't feel obliged to watch the whole thing. 

Update

Baby Eli

I've been behind on my blogging, I know.  Baby Eli is now a whopping 3 weeks old, and is such a joy.  We took him to the doctor 4 days after he was born and he weighed 7 lbs., 11 oz., which was 9 oz. less than what he weighed at birth.  We went in 2 days later and he weighed the same.  So, doctor's orders were to go back 8 days later for his 2 week check up, and he weighed in at 8 lbs., 8 oz.  Yes people, my child has gained 13 oz. in 8 days.  He's going to be a "healthy" boy to say the least.  Well I wanted to post more pictures of the little guy for your viewing pleasure, so enjoy.  

Happy Easter!

Meet Eli Todd Walker, the newest member of our little family.  After a grueling 3 days in the hospital, he decided to grace us with his presence on April 10 at 10:38 in the morning.  He was 8 pounds 4 ounces and 20 inches long.  His cone head was measured in at 13 inches, but it is now the cutest shaped little head I've ever seen.  We are so so happy to finally have him here and we cherish every moment with him.  Especially since Mike will be leaving for Texas next week ; (  We're going to miss Daddy so much, but thank goodness for iChat!  We will be following but not for a little while.  I'm definitely going to miss Mike's AMAZING help, I slept so much last night and poor hubby was up all night with Eli.  He is such an amazing support and a wonderful daddy!  We are a happy family and can't wait to see what's in store for us!  

No Baby Yet

So it's still a week until my due date, but I'm getting restless.  I had a doctor's appointment today, thinned cervix?  Yes (50+%).  contractions?  Yes.  baby "dropped"?  Yes.  dilated AT ALL?  No.  Hopefully this week I will have pictures to post of baby Eli, outside the womb!  I have another doctor's appointment scheduled for next monday, so everyone cross your fingers that I don't make it until then.  Seriously, cross your fingers.
