Eli has officially found his fingers!

Daddy has been loaning out his pinkie to Elijah, but won't need to be doing that much anymore.

Eli found his fingers! Once we were able to cut his nails, we have been putting him in short sleeved shirts. He has really loved having his hands free.

We finally got out of the house on Saturday. Abby and I got hair trims while Dan did some school work at Starbucks. Then, my friend Evyn met us all at Starbucks where she got to hold Elijah for the first time. He did a great job being out in public. He loved the car ride. His friend Jeero helped him stay snug in his car seat, so that's good.



Eli and Evyn.


Tummy Time!

Saturday night, we had a visit from our friends Luke and Karen. We know them from Seattle, but they are currently living in St. Louis where they are attending Covenant Seminary. They were driving through and so we had them stay with us for a night. Dan has known Luke since he was 16! Anyways, it was so much fun to have them here at the Meeks B & B. They enjoyed getting to know Elijah, and we loved having them here.

Today, Eli's friend Ari came to visit with his mama Megan and his grandma Debbie. My mom helped with Ari's birth 3 1/2 months ago. Ari has already been such a good friend to Eli by handing down his clothes to him.

Elijah's so cute! It's so weird and cool to see our baby car seat in use again! You all should blow up the middle finger picture for the fridge! Larvarar yar!

I get this fluttery feeling in my chest whenever I look at him :) It reminds me of the feeling I kept having when we took you to the airport for Paris. I guess that means that I miss you and love you guys... and am 9 freakin' months pregnant! I just can't believe that you're through it already, and I can't wait to see that tinytown!

Love all the new pics. Let me know when you're ready for another public outing and Jaren and I will meet you for some chow or coffee. I need to hold that little man again!
