Our Little Man

Elijah,

15 weeks old tomorrow - our little man! You are enamored with your hands, you love to blow (and spit) bubbles, and you are still such a good sleeper!

You have also learned what the camera is and REFUSE to smile when it is put in front of your face. So for all of your fans watching you grow, they will not see smiling pictures despite mommy and daddy's sometimes crazy efforts.










They may even notice you are actually covering your face in some photos. Oh you little stinker!









I'm starting to notice your eyes turning brown just around the pupil. I don't know if that's the color they'll stay but brown or green outfits are making your eyes stand out so much!













You hung out with Miss Sherry, Miss Sierra and Brody today. Sierra said you weren't quite sure what to think about Brody. He's only 2 months older than you but I guess you aren't used to seeing another little person like you. We talk about your future play dates and all the fun things you boys will grow up to do! We are so thankful for their friendship.









We went out to dinner with Nana and Papa and she commented that you have rocked her world. As I rocked you to sleep tonight I cried tears of joy. Just to hold you in my arms is sometimes so surreal. I waited for so long to hold a baby. And then I thought of Sara and how she must have held you and cried too, but for a different reason. Knowing she would hold you for only a short time before she would choose to place you with us. I realize I am but a steward - appointed by God, chosen by Sara, to be your mother. It is an awesome and sometimes overwhelming responsibility. I love you with everything in me.
