Relaxing after a bath...

Get 'em up!

Even in his sleep, Eli is cheering for the Crimson Tide to win the National Championship on January 7th...

How can you not love this face?

Sending out lots of love to two sets of friends welcoming sweet new additions to their families...we can't wait for Eli to meet his new friends.

PS How is it possible that Josh & I did not manage to get a picture like the ones above when both Noah and Eli were born? Doh!

We've been busy...

...eating, sleeping, and dirtying diapers. Not much more than that!

Taking inventory

1. Still in my PJs

2. Drinking a chai tea latte on a foggy, rainy afternoon

3. Laundry machine is humming

4. Christmas lights are on

5. Light-hearted, animated movie on the TV

6. And this little face staring at me...

Two prayer requests

1) I need my milk to come in. Eli is a great nurser...I am just not making enough milk for him right now. Things look promising, I just need my body to take last step.

2) In the meantime, we are supplementing his feedings with formula. Over the last 48 hours he has been getting really fussy after eating and spitting up more. In our heads we know this happens with babies and their immature digestive systems...but our hearts remember Noah and all of the struggles he had with feeding and we can't help but feel a little fear.
