Eli's First Birthday

Opening presents is fun...

My first birthday cupcake, yum!!!

Grilled Filets on Valentine's

In the spirit of this forty-degree Chicago weather, I grilled a pair of filet mignons when Jen got home from work tonight. I love you!

I'd like to share my Walgreens Photo Center photos with you. Once you have checked out my photos you can order prints and upload your own photos to share.

Crib Standing

I knew one of these days we would walk into Eli's room and find him standing in his crib. It happened tonight even while wearing his sleep sack! Good thing we lowered the mattress a month ago.

Grrrr

I'm not sure what made him do this, but I'm glad we got it on film.

Right Foot

Eli's been into holding his right foot while eating lately. Not sure why. Better than in his mouth!

Bigger in Wisconsin

Here's proof that they grow them big in Wisconsin - Eli was 8 months and still fit into this newborn outfit from Wisconsin.

Crib Sitting

Jen walked in and found Eli sitting up in his crib after a nap a few weeks ago.

Football Watching

Even though this is a month old, you can see the lengths Eli will go to so he can watch football.

Twenty pounds

We took Eli in to the pediatrician today and he weighs 20 pounds exactly. He is 8 mo and 1 wk.

Sitting Up Now

I lucked out to see Eli sit up for the first time today and get a few photos as he made the big push! He is crawling in fits and starts but not yet continuously. 7 months 3 weeks for those interested.

October Photos

Now in a Picasa Web Album.

First Swimming Lesson

Election Day

Eli's looking forward to being able to vote in 17.5 years!

Eli, Where Are You?

Creeping

Eli is officially creeping. He can get around in a scootch/slide/sprawl manner that propels him forward to whatever target he locks onto. Good thing we purchased and installed a gate a few days ago.
