Here are some new things we'd like to share with you. LOTS of handsome smiles! Elijah is an absolute joy to be around. He loves to smile for mommy and daddy. Especially when he wakes up in the morning!
We started him on a bedtime routine... it's really helped him sleep a lot better! We give him a bath, put on his jammies, feed him, rock him, sing a lullaby and say prayers. He falls asleep on his own in his crib now, and usually sleeps between 8-10 hours every night. He's incredible!!! Babies love routine! AND bathtime...

Daddy's real good at making him smile.
Our son sucks... his thumb. He isn't the greatest at keeping pacifiers in his mouth, so he resorts to his thumb when he can't find a pacifier. What can we say? He loves to suck. At first it would take quite awhile for him to find his thumb, but he's getting better at it now, which doesn't thrill mom all that much. (It's a hard habit to break, but we can't exactly stop him from finding his thumb when we're sleeping.) We've gone into his room in the mornings several times and find him just laying his his crib, content sucking his thumb after 10 hours of sleep. We love him! Maybe that's why we haven't blogged so much... we've been too busy catching up on sleep! And we're not gonna lie, it's awesome. Just like our kid.

So Elijah sleeps through the night now, and likes baths? Well, that gives us hope...right now our little Ella doesn't like to do either!
I used to suck my thumb too! Braces may come - but alas, not everyone has to wear them for years on end. I only had to wear mine for 8 months :-)
