Sorry For the Delay!

We have been busy in the DeMers household, and more than that I was really hoping for the Elijah's Newborn pictures to be the next post, so I kept pushing this out hoping I would have the pictures to share with you tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow.  So since I still don't have them (but do expect them today or tomorrow for sure) I thought I would put some pictures up that I have been taking and a video of our little guy cooing at tummy time! 

Also!  We hit a milestone this week!  Elijah smiled! and not a "I've got gas" smile, but a real smile- mulitple ones.  I captured a couple this morning.  He sure does love his daddy!  Enjoy!



Elijah 5 weeks in his rabbit moon bowling shirt! I love this shirt!!



Hanging out with Grandpa Bob trying to get the gas out.



Zonked!  Completely out cold this morning.



Playtime with Friends!  I was having a little fun with him this morning! haha!



1 month!

Where does the time go?!!  I can't believe it has already been a whole month since Elijah graced us with his presence!  Here are some picture from the past few days.  Enjoy!

Talking and Whining...and Hiccuping! Geesh!

A New Sitting Position!

Time with Grandpa Mike (or G.P. Mike...whatever)

I finally bought some outfits with Red and Orange as the primary colors since  Elijah didn't come out a redhead :(

Elijah's First Day at Work....Yay Le Top!

This was supposed to go up on Thursday, but googles blogger (the program I use to post) was down for TWO stinkin days!  AND it took down the last post you see on here, yesterday- UGH!!!! Better late than never I guess... Enjoy!

Well we finally got around to setting a date to get in to the office.  Almost 4 weeks after E was born we headed in to see all the Le Top and rabbit moon family yesterday and got a bite to eat with Robyn (in the credit and e-commerce dept) and Sarah (worked at le top 4 years ago in sales) too!
Here is Elijah with all the crew at work...needless to say Linda (front desk) was ECSTATIC to get to see and hold the little guy...as promised she was the first to get him in her arms.  He slept 5 hours- I think he just loved being held and passed around!  Spoiled little boy!!!

Just a couple of cute pictures & 1 more boring video!!

Took a couple of cute pictures, of course in more le top clothes!  Enjoy!

P.S. BE SURE TO CHECK BACK AT NOON- MORE PICTURES BEING POSTED FROM ELIJAH'S DAY AT LE TOP!

The REAL First Bath!!!

Well we got a new tub and this time we had a FULL bath time!!!  I think he kind of liked it, but wasn't super thrilled about it.  Never-the-less he got a bath!

Bath Time!  First Bath at 22 days old!

A video- very short and boring I am sure!

Well I thought I would bless you with a video- hahaha

More Pictures and an attempt at a bath...yes "Attempt"

Mom had taken some more pictures of our time up in Redding so I thought I would put them on here- why not.
And you are now wondering- "so what is this about an "attempted" bath"? Read Below :)

So we bought this really cool tub that is supposed to fit in your sink and cradle the baby so it makes it easier to bathe him. It is flat and folds up into a cone-ish shape and is held together by "heavy" magnets...well We filled it with water and placed him in the tub and literally one second after this picture was taken the magnets dislodged (you can see it actually happening in the picture- look closely) and the tub collapsed!  Luckily my hand was still there and I caught him.  He didn't seem to mind the water until this happened then it freaked him out and I had a crying baby wrapped in a nice warm towel in my arms...that's as far as he got- so it was an attempted bath.  The tub wouldn't fit in any of our other sinks so we are on are on way to target to buy a legitimate bath tub :(

Elijah and his Gram! (my mom)

My mom and Aunt (Vicki)

Us with Elijah and his "GRAND" Aunt and Uncle!

New Pictures!

Sorry for the delay, we have been a little busy.  We just got back from a trip up to Redding so that Elijah could meet my Aunt and Uncle!  We had such a good time, but as always the trip was too short :(
Elijah is now 2.5 weeks old- Friday will be 3 weeks! It is so hard to believe that he has been with us that long- and we have been without a full night's sleep for that long!!!!

13 days old in his cute rabbit moon robot onesie

15 days old- Tummy Time! Of course dressed in le top- little lamb  footy!

16 days old with Jason! (who couldn't get enough time in holding him!)

16 days old with Gina! (Getting some practice in)

17 days old with his "Grand" Uncle, Tom!  

Today (20 days old) snoozing on the couch with  the paci- this is a new thing we are trying out.  He is getting fussy an hour and a half after eating, so seeing the pattern we realized that he is just tired not "hungry again"...and the pacifier worked!!!!!!  I figure, it's a little bit of sanity for us, and something we can ween him off of later...better than a thumb right?

Me and My Aunt Gaga...Aunty Erin K!

Aunt Gaga (named by Justice (my nephew) when he was just learning to talk- because she has glasses e.g. gaga- not "Lady Gaga"  NOOOOO!!!) or as most of you know her Aunt Erin (K, because there is another Aunt Erin- T- OY VEY!!!).,...  Ugh lets start again...

Aunt Erin (a.k.a. Aunt Gaga) came over with super yummy pizza bread two nights ago!  It was so nice to have her company as we had not been out all day- plus we just love hanging out with her!!!!  I stole an opportunity to snag some cute snaps of Elijah and her.  Soooo sweet!!!
