Heading to ND

Eli and I are heading to ND on Saturday. Dennis will follow after finals. We're going to be around Fargo/Napoleon until Dec. 28. We are so excited to see you. Give us a call if you're in the area.


Eli out and about.


OK. He's really not that good at holding his bottle. He can hold it for about 15 seconds.


Alex, Eli's friend, and Eli all decked out for the holidays.

Happy Thanksgiving Everybody!

Already 3 months old...

Eli's first snow.


Sucking his thumb.


Modeling his new clothes.


Eli turned 3 months on the 17th. He celebrated by rolling over (although Dennis says there is a difference between falling over and rolling over, but whatever). We got his 3 month pictures taken at Sears. He's also growing lots as he's moved out of his 0-3 monthers and into his 3-6 monthers. I've had fun putting him into some of his new clothes that many of you sent him. Here's a few.

Starting To Chew

Notice how nice he's holding his teething bee/butterfly. He loves to chew on it, but is not always so good at holding on to it.
MMMM. Eli loves to chew on other peoples fingers. He's also started to suck his thumb. I sure hope he doesn't suck his thumb until he's four like I did. But, if he does, we can always get him to stop by bribing him with getting his ears pierced. (Hey, it worked for me.)

Couldn't resist...

Posting these cute pictures of Eli.

For Godmother, Pat

Pat,
Since you were here last we've been practicing the skills you recommended. He's getting pretty good.

Meeting more family

Eli met some important people this weekend.

Eli met Aunt Pat too, but for some reason we don't have any pictures of just her and Eli.
