WE Love ELIJAH!!!!

We decided to make a video for elly m's cousin elijah. He made a video for us before and it is only fair to return the favor. We love elijah.... he is very very precious to us.

Our ongoing argument

I realize after listening to this, just how ridiculous i sound...i being tristan of course. there will be no argument for #2, they will be an american, born and raised in america.... yeah.

fun things to do when you are bored....

carry your child around in a clothes basket or put your finger over the flash on the camera to get a really cool effect. so silly. The first picture displays her being a seal, she does that a lot... and the last pictures show just how big she is getting... she is starting to hold her own bottle. changes everything.

Reverse that order, the pictures showed up the opposite way.

Pure comedy!!!!

I mean this is hilarious... me and elly m. trying to video her teeth.....silly me.. i only have two hands, and one is holding the camera.

Actual Teeth

I only put that she has been teething, but i forgot to mention that elly m. got her two bottom teeth christmas weekend. I tried to get photos of the two little pearls, but maybe didn't do the best job. She doesn't like for you to mess with them that much. but you can kind of see them in a few.

Teething

Elly m. has her two bottom teeth now and i am sure that the top two want to come in soon. She is hilarious, when she drops her toy, she just finds a chair to chew on. I am sure that she will appreciate these pictures when she is about..hmmm... maybe 14 or 15. She will say something to the effect of her mom thinking it was so funny that she was chewing on the leg of a chair all the time.... and i do.

lady in red

I think that red is elly m.'s color, so i took a couple pictures of her in a new red shirt that she got from aunt helen's mom, barbara for Christmas.

a few christmas photos

Here are the Christmas photos... you can see that we weren't the happiest bunch that evening. and i also left my camera in the car the night before so we got the foggy effect for most of our pictures. I am sure elly m. will be happy to see these when she is 20 or so... how happy she was on her first Christmas. making memories i guess...

Our christmas

Okay, so here i am wanting to start our own traditions and do our own thing, but this year is not going to be the way things are done. Jonathan worked all day on Christmas, but we did have a nice Christmas lunch at his parent's house and then we went home and took a nap. After Jonathan got off work, we did the best we could do to be happy, but i am sure the video explains most of our feelings. Better luck next year, and by the way for those of you who don't know:::: I am PREGNANT again... due august 8 or something like that. i still have to go to the doctor.



The pictures that i am posting also show just how excited elly m. was to open her presents. yippee!!! oh what a day.

Christmas Eve

Well Christmas Eve was great!!! We went to jonathan's aunt helen and uncle peter's house to celebrate. It was fun. i only got a few pictures there. Here they are.
