Fun Weekend and Eli's Doctor visit =0)

We had such an enjoyable weekend! The weather has been sunny and in the 70's and we are loving it! I have been taking Eli for 3-4 mile walks 5-6 days a week since it has been so beautiful outside.

Lulu went for her monthly visit at the Puppy Parlor. She gets her hair washed (this time with Cranberry Orange shampoo!), nails cut, teeth brushed, ears cleaned and a facial. Doesn't she look pretty?



Charlie worked Saturday morning. When he got home he told me to go take some "Me Time" and that he would watch Eli. It was so sweet of Charlie to think to do that for me =0). I went and ran a few errands and was gone for a little over an hour. I missed Eli the entire time. Charlie did such a great job and had Eli cleaned up and changed when I arrived home.

We had a nice surprise this weekend....My brother and his fiance, Samantha came over for a visit Saturday evening. My brother bought Eli this really cool tee-shirt (I can't wait until he is big enough to wear it!) and these adorable penguin slippers. The penguin slippers are too big for him right now, but I still HAD to put them on him.



We really enjoyed visiting with Uncle Chris and Auntie Samantha. They just love Eli to pieces.



Eli is going to his very first wedding on New Year's Eve!! He is going to see his Uncle Chris and Auntie Samantha get married. I can't wait to watch them exchange vows!!! I am also excited because Eli is going to have quite the dashing outfit to wear... you will have to stay tuned for pictures =0).

Saturday night Eli "lost" his bellybutton. It kind of freaked me out a little. I put a bandage over it because I was unsure how to care for it and decided to keep it covered until he went for his check up on Monday.

Sunday was a day of football and naps for my man and little man. I thought this picture of them snoozing on the couch was too cute!



Eli had a few naps...look how sweet and peaceful he is. I just love to watch him sleep.





I spent Sunday cleaning out the pantry and guest bedroom closet. It is amazing how much stuff can fit into a closet! It felt so good to get those two tasks done though.

Monday was Eli's 1 month appointment with his pediatrician. He is in wonderful health! Eli weighed 10lbs 3 3/4oz and measured 22 1/4in long!! He is a growing boy!! He also had his 1 month shots. He had the little quivering lip...but barely cried. Mommy, on the other hand, was holding back tears.

When we got home, Eli played in his swing for awhile. He really loves to sit in his swing and listen to the music.



I mentioned in the previous blog how much Eli loves his bathtime. Here he is enjoying his nightly bath.



He LOVES being wrapped up in a towel nice and snug afterwards.



Then he puts on his yellow ducky bathrobe from Auntie Bre while he dries off. Bre is my dear friend from college. She spoils Eli rotten! She lives in Frisco (North of Dallas), so hasn't been able to visit yet...but she cannot wait to meet Eli.

Here Eli is showing Lulu his new bathrobe. =0)



Look at those baby blues. He gets his forehead wrinkles (I like to call them "think wrinkles" -- haha) from his Mommy.



It has been getting chilly at night, so Eli has been getting lots of wear out of his feety pajamas. I think he likes wearing them. He loves to kick his legs around when I put them on him.







Today I had my post pregnancy checkup with my doctor. It hasn't quite been 5 weeks, but I have been itching to get back to Spin class and Pilates at the gym. She gave me the green light, so I am good to go. =0)
