Postcards from Eli

I've heard several people mention that I'm not doing so great about posting Eli pictures...so if you fall into that particular category of griping, this post's for you.

"Little Buddy", as Norah has dubbed him, has maintained a good appetite, and not lost too much weight in the first few days home from the hospital (he was 7lb. 15oz. at his 3-day weight check, a loss of just 4 oz. since we left the hospital)

He sleeps a good bit of the day, so these are valuable photos of him with his eyes open. His wakeful time is increasing in length each day, though, so we're enjoying watching his precious personality emerge.
This is my favorite photo of the ones I took today because Eli is looking right at the camera.

Naturally, everyone is playing the "who does he look like?" game, so I thought it would be fun to pull out a couple of Norah's newborn photos for comparison. (Especially since I didn't start this blog until she was about 4 months old, so these are making their blogger debut!)


Here is a photo of Norah when she was just 4 days old. Granted, they do have their own unique features, but I definitely see a resemblance. It will be fun to see how much more/less alike they look as time goes by.









Norah, 2 days old












Eli, 6 days old

He's adorable! My granddaddy (Jason's Uncle Olan) said that Henry was Uncle Howard's name (Jason's PaPaw). I love that y'all used a family name!

Oh My!!! He is so precious. Congratulations!!! Imagine him in a nice little homemade quilt with lots of boy "stuff" on it....it's still sitting unfinished on the loveseat. :) Norah looks to be in absolute heaven!!

They do look alike! However, I'm sure he'll have his own look when he gets a little bigger.

How in the world do you find time to blog with a brand new baby around? You must be Super Mom!
