Let's take a walk down memory lane...the next two photos below are me a few days home from the hospital, then the following two photos are taken today, only four months later! Yes, I have gained 13 lbs in four months...amazing!

I'm 4-1/2 months, stylin' in the cool hat and t-shirt Auntie Cheryl gave me before I was born. Mommy and I are 'headin' out...we have a lot to do today.

I'm just chillin' like Dillon...

More Please!

This photo was taken the morning after Grandpa's birthday party (or Super Bowl Sunday). Jennifer Segura handmade this bib for me before I was born...you can see I'm getting a lot of use out of it!

PHOTOS FROM GRANDPA DON'S BIRTHDAY...
Here is my Grandma Betty and Grandpa Don. They have been together for 30 years and you can see how happy they are!
Here are my parents...they have been together six years. They tell me that I am their PRIDE and JOY!
Here is my Uncle Landon. Before the family arrived, he sang and played the piano...it made me smile. He said that he can't wait to take me surfing and get me my first guitar so we can 'jam' together.

Here is my Great Grandma Ruth.

I ate dinner with the family for the first time. Here Grandma is feeding me squash, after Mommy gave me oatmeal. I like to grab the spoon, but I guess I have to wait for that. Everyone stared at me smiling and I just smile back. Then Daddy burped me so Mommy could eat.


Here is Uncle Landon and 'the birthday boy' Grandpa!


Here I am with Daddy and Jed is with Uncle Landon.

I just stopped in real quick to wish you a Happy Super Bowl Sunday! Have Fun!! xo Eli

Today is my Grandpa Don's 72nd birthday, so my Grandma Betty came over in the morning to play with me while Mommy gets prepared. Grandma is my Mommy's Mommy...she's cool! She laughs so hard when I jump in my Jumperoo and it makes me laugh!! She sings me songs and has such a pretty voice.

She shows me how to play the piano daadaadaadaaaa daadaadaadaaaa

and takes me for walks...

MY FAVORITE THING TO DO!

Grandpa's party was so much fun! I ate dinner with the family for the first time. Mommy and Grandma fed me. I was in such a good mood! Photos will be developed soon...we used an 'old fashion' camera. xo Eli

Today is bitter-sweet...I know it's my last week to have Mommy aaaaaall to myself during the week. What a great 4-1/2 months we've had! I must share her with the business world. She promised that we'll still do all the same things we do now and that I'll be meeting and hanging out with new interesting people.

This sitting 'thing' is awesome!

This morning, I tried to play with our cat 'Frisco'... and he got me!

After he ran off, Mommy thought I'd try crawling...wish me luck! Moving this 20 lb body with these little arms sure isn't easy! OY!

We had a great time at the park. I met a girl named Alex, who is 10 months older than me, but real pretty! She kept trying to talk to me...I don't know how to yet, but Mommy let her know that.

Here we are swinging...

Well, you all have a great weekend...I'm off to get as much time in with Mommy as possible!

Ya know why I'm laughing? My Mommy just 'crammed' me into this outfit...?! Maybe if I turn I'll be more comfortable....
OK, now I'm screaming!


What a great day...ya know why? I ate breakfast in my highchair for the first time! I absolutely loved it. I could see everything that was going on around me, while I savored each and every bite! I watched Daddy get his coffee and 'pack his belt' with everything he could find (tee hee). I can't wait until dinner! I can eat with Mommy and Daddy! This photo was taken after I ate my oatmeal and drank milk...and of course a good face washing!



Mommy told me that Uncle Landon and Aunt Cherylon gave me this high chair before I was born, but I also have another from Shannon, for Auntie Cheryl's house, when I start eating more often. THANK YOU!!
Hey Mommy! Bring me some toys would ya please?!
Have a great night everyone...Baby Shneida' OUT!

I can't believe a whole month has gone by in 2006!





















Compare the difference in me (the first photo was taken 1/1 and the second 2/1...

Hey look...there's Frisco DARN! He's too fast for me
