Happy Birthday Eli!

Finally!!

These are the first belly pictures that we have taken...yes, I know, its kind of sad but here I am at 23 weeks. This pregnancy has definitley been more challenging than with Eli but things are going well. He is constantly on the move! I guess we will see what that means when he gets here.

Growing too fast...

This little guy is turning two this weekend. We can not believe it!! Time has flown by and we have been so blessed with him in our lives.

Southport

We spent this past weekend down in Southport with Jeff's family. We had a great time and enjoyed the awesome weather. Eli had a great time running around on the beach! We look forward to many more trips down there. :)

Baby boy #2

I can not believe that I have not blogged about this sooner but, like they say, you definitely do not do as much as you did for baby #1. Yes, we are having another baby and we found out last week that it is a boy!! We are so excited and can not wait to meet this little guy sometime in February. We are not sure if Eli realizes what is happening yet. We ask him, "What is inside mommies belly?" and he replies "baby." But then Eli and Daddy have a baby in their bellies. :) It is really cute to hear him say "Big Brother." We know that he is going love it for the most part. He LOVES being around other babies but we do anticipate some jealousy just coming from being a single child.
Sorry, no belly pictures! We have not taken a single one... :( Need to get on that one.

Someone looks a lot different!

We finally thought it was time that Eli get his head shaved. I know, end of summer, but the poor guy always had hair in his eyes.  This way we don't have to mess with it for a while.

Uncle Jon distracting him and making him laugh when it got harder to sit still. 

The end result:

A brand new child. We are still getting use to it.  He looks so grown up and different.

Beach Fun

While Jeff was away we ventured to the beach with my parents for about 4 days. It was so much fun. At the beginning of the summer Eli didnt know what to think of the big ocean. He ran away from the waves and was content sitting in a hole with some sand toys. But this trip he ventured back and forth to the water, got on the boogie board, and chased many seagulls.
