This past month has been a fun, exciting & busy! Here is a little update....
We eagerly waited for Eli to arrive, but he kept us waiting & arrived on his due date ;)
We think Eli looks like Chris & Mia! =)
I CANNOT believe that Mia is a little over 2 1/2 years old & Eli is 1 month!!
My brother, Joey (who lives in Australia) was here visiting with his wife, Jules & their 15 month old son, Ethan. We were able to meet our adorable nephew Ethan for the 1st time & they were able to be here for the birth of Eli! =) Mia had a blast with her cousin, aunt & uncle & we miss them ALOT!!!
Mia loves being a big sister & she is an awesome big sis! She reads to Eli, cuddles with him, "holds" him (with our help), talks to him & helps take care of him too ;)
Two weeks ago, Eli had his 2 week appointment & he is doing great! In 2 weeks, Eli grew 1 inch & gained more than a pound! At his 2 week check-up he weighed 8 lbs 12 oz & was 21 inches long...thanks to his bottomless belly who knows how much he weighs now! ;)
Eli is a great sleeper-which we are very, very thankful for! He never had his night & days mixed up & has been very easy to get on a schedule. =)
Oh & I love that Eli has a natural mo-hawk. ADORABLE!!
Mia loves to play games! Hide & seek, Hopscotch, Ring Around the Rosie, Red light, green light, run races & many others.
Mia likes to finger & body paint! She pretends that the paint is sunscreen & applies "sunscreen paint" liberally all over! =)- Makes me laugh!!
Mia can recite most (if not all) of the book, Chicka, chicka, boom, boom. Chris & Mia read it together at night & she takes over reciting the book ;) When we get it on video we will post it.
When Sonia asked Mia to be a flower girl in her wedding Mia said, "Yes & I will grow plants for it." Hehehehe! ;) Mia & I had just planted flowers, so she had growing flowers on her mind.
Mia pretends to feed Polka (her fav baby) & says that our bike pump is her milk pump :)-
Thanks to our friend, Tina, for making this funny & super cute onsie for Eli!
