One Month

Eli is one month old today! Wow, is it me or is time all messed up around here. It seems like yesterday that we brought him home. Then again, with all the sleepless nights it seems like it's been a lot longer than that! Well, for Eli's one month day he got to do the following...

He got to sleep through the EARLY morning ride to take Aunt Lynsie to the airport. He sure looks cute in the cuddle wrap Aaron's parents gave him!


He got to meet his new pediatrician (we didn't like the atmosphere of our old doctor's office). Dr Gober comes highly recommended by our dear friends. Here are Eli's one month stats...
10 lbs 23 1/2 in. long 15 in. head circumference. So he's above the 95th percentile for height and 50th percentile in weight and head circumference. Way to go Eli!!! However, poor Eli also had to get poked twice along with all the poking and light shining, etc. making it for a very hard day for him. We really like this new pediatrician. He knows what he's doing and is very good at answering all our questions. He also seemed more thorough in his assessment of Eli (300 times better than our last pediatrician). Over-all, I'm so grateful we switched!!

I loved this picture and laugh every time I see it!!

He got to go with mommy and daddy to run errands. We went to the temple to get a blessing outfit for him. Let's hope it still fits in two weeks with how fast this boy's filling out (it will). We then went to Costco for food item's. If Mommy doesn't eat, Eli won't like his meals much either. We got to try lots of yummy samples that Eli will get later :)

With Aunt Lynsie when she visited.

We've also discovered more about this little guy ...

Apparently he gets his sleeping positions from mommy. Aaron said that he's found me several times in the following sleeping positions...




















He's very picky about who does what. At night, it has to be Daddy that puts him to sleep. Mommy can feed him, but Dad needs to take him from there.

We were hoping to do hand and footprint plasters today BUT with all the above and laundry it took us right up to the point when Aaron needed to go to class. Maybe Thursday...

Well, we love our boy and think he's something else.

Do you recognize the hat Britt?
