A Mother's Love

He has stolen my heart!

Miscellaneous

Kitties' thoughts: "Look, now that that little human that makes all that noise is here we have got to stick together man. Just you and me. We just can't trust anyone. You get my back, I'll get yours. Cats Rule, Babies Drool!!!"

Eli's thoughts: "Yo people, check out my new kung-fu chop!"

Daddy's thoughts: "I have no idea what you're saying as you lie there and coo at me, but you're melting my little heart!"

Sleeping Baby...

Cheapskate

While pregnant and working on Eli's nursery I found these unfinished letters and plaques at a craft store. I figured a little paint and artistry would go a long way on these and give me something sweet to hang on his nursery walls. Instead of spending over $150 buying similar items from Pottery Barn, I spent $7 total and had fun painting them!

The plagues turned into little wall-hangings of a dragonfly, dinosaur and turtle.
I used the same colors as I painted the stripes on the wall.

The E-L-I letters hang above his crib. I love polka-dots in nurseries!
(they are the same size - the pictures makes them look weird)

Although his nursery is sweet - the thing that makes him happiest is his mommy!
(If I do say so myself)

!!! FIRST SMILE !!!!

This was the first smile I caught on film.
He had been smiling only a few days when I got it.
Such a sweet boy!

Fun Pics

Here are some fun pictures taken over the last few (busy) weeks:

"Hey Mom, who is that striking figure of a male staring right at me?"

"I either stuck my finger in a light socket, or I'm about to play the baby version of the professor from Back to the Future movies. Not sure."

"What in the WORLD is that thing dangling between my legs?
I don't know, but it is simply fascinating at bathtime!"

Bedroom Eyes: "I just lay here and let them look at me."

A body shape only a mother could love.
He looks like he is shaped like a peanut shell.
-- that did NOT come from mommy's side!-
