Eli - 1 Month

Eli had a big day for his 1 month birthday. He actually spent most of the day being very fussy, worrying mom like crazy, but during all this time his dad and Grandpa Gary were finishing up the final touches on his nursery. His "Big Six" were all together for dinner. Clay and I ordered pizza and Grammy Linda brought a lemon pound cake. Eli was just full of himself the whole time we had company. He slept while we ate and then cooed and stayed alert to play with all his company. The girls gave Eli a bath, while Clay ordered a computer for my parents, then we all went upstairs to take pictures of Eli in his almost finished nursery. Oh, before the bath we tried to use finger paint to get Eli's hand prints for his baby book. He has one heck of a grip, like most babies, and we ended up with more of a blob than a print! We only tried one hand.



His hair looks very curly when wet.
The nursery was still full of drop clothes, pieces of scrap trimming, and various tools. We found a little clean corner to snap a few pictures. You can see a little trim work and Eli seemed to like the new carpet.
