I can't believe so much time has already passed since Little Elijah's arrival. He's now a week and 2 days old and still as prefect as can be. Although it's said that they can't smile at this stage (intentional, responsive smiling), he's seem to be practicing more and more every day. He makes me melt when I see him grin! He's a great eater and although he has his nights, he sleeps pretty well too. It's taken a little getting used to getting up every few hours to feed him, but it is all so rewarding and worth it.
It's amazing to see how much change can occur in so little time. His eyes seems to be more gray now than they were at birth (they seems to have a bluish tint at first) and his eyebrows are starting to come in a little darker. He has discovered his thumb, but prefers to suck on his entire hand instead and his personality seems to be coming out more and more everyday. I'm so facinated with him and everything he does and every change he makes. I can't believe we were so blessed.
One of the funniest and most surprising things about him is that he won't let you miss a poopy diaper! Not because he cries, but because he will wake the dead while doing so! I guess he gets it from his Daddy, LOL.
Although Elijah is here, I still can't believe we have a baby. This little 6 lb being came from inside of me! I still feel like he was placed under my bed at the hospital and pulled out at the last minute like some kind of magic trick. Birth is such a miracle and so unreal. We are SOOO thankful and blessed to have him here safe and sound.
Here's are a few pics of our handsome man at a week old.

Too sleepy to burp!
AHH!!! Doesn't it make YOU melt?
