elijah singing with daddy

Elijah knows what music he likes...

...and what music he doesn't!


I know I shouldn't love this face, but I can't help it...it's too cute!!!

lake day!

We took Elijah on his first trip to the lake this weekend! Apparently, children have to wear a life jacket while on a boat until they are 13 years old, so Elijah got to sport his this weekend. And...he is adorable. The life jacket is for infants up to 30 pounds, so it's huge on him, but apparently it kept him cozy, along with the rocking of the boat, because he just slept away! He is such a good baby, so I had to show you some pictures from his first lake trip!



yes, Jazz has a life vest, too!

aahhhh.....

Elijah slept 8 hours last night!!

our first baby

So...do you think Jazz is feeling neglected these days? Poor thing took her ball to the window and just stared outside. She needs some serious play time outdoors. Maybe I'll take her on a walk later.

church nursery

We've had revival this week with our church and two other area churches, so last night I had to prepare to leave Elijah with nursery workers I didn't know. I had a great test/lesson of my faith when this 80-looking year old woman walks in the nursery, takes a look at Elijah and says..."Well, I've never taken care of one that small before."

Hello?? First rule of nursery care should be...never reveal to the mom how much you don't know about babies...(or, even better, don't sign up for nursery if you don't know anything about babies!)

Really, I didn't have to worry too much because another mom of two boys walked in and she was gonna be in the room to help. Of course, last night was the LONGEST revival night yet, so it was a good thing I didn't wear my watch. Elijah survived and all is well!..although I'm pretty sure the (80-looking year old) woman called him a "she" when she gave Elijah back to me. Oh, well...gotta love the church nursery.

Another note about church nursery...last Sunday Elijah came home wearing makeup on his sleeper and smelling like a perfume counter...yuck!! ...But he was in one piece!
