He's 12 weeks old!

The boy is just growing like a weed. It's crazy how much he changes day-to-day. I'm bias, but he is pretty darn cute. Just last weekend, he rolled over for the first time. Unfortunately, I wasn't witness to the blessed event, but my dad and Cheryl were present. I did, however, see him roll over later that day. Of course, he hit his head on the side of the crib and began to cry. But, at least I got to see him show off his newest stunt!

We're looking forward to our first christmas with Ely. Santa has been told that he is a REALLY good boy...so, gifts are plentiful from the parents and grandparents!

Ely and Brady (other little boy in picture) are REALLY enjoying their mom's dressing them, as you can tell in the pictures :)

I hope everyone has a great holiday. And look for more pictures to be posted after the new year!

2.5 Month Update

We went to Ely's 2-Month appointment on December 1. He weighed 13 lbs 3.5 oz...which put him into the 90th percentile. He was 23.75 inches long...75th percentile. He took all four shots like a champ. Well, he cried...but he was in good spirits soon afterward. He has recovered from all his Hawaii illnesses. So, we're all healthy and happy.

When we got home from Hawaii, we got snow within several days in Seattle. So, within 3 days, Ely felt the warm ocean and the cold snow. As you will see in the pictures, I think he prefers the warmer weather :)

Now, we're just getting read for the holidays. Since it's Ely's first Christmas, we had to get the fattest tree around! And, Anthony has decorated the outside of the house for everyone to enjoy. We're so excited to begin new family traditions and re-live old traditions with Ely this year. Here are some pictures of us getting into the "Christmas Spirit." Including a picture of our visit to Santa.
