Happy one month birthday to Eli!! He was a little camera shy though...but look at those legs!

He has started smiling now. His favorite times to smile are when he is sleeping. My mom told me that her grandmother (my mom-mom) told her that babies talked with their angels in their sleep, and that's why they smile. It makes me smile to watch him. His second favorite time to smile is after a nice big poop works it's way out after a tense crying bout. We just hold him and wait for the smile, knowing that someday we will be able to bring as much joy to his face as a good poop!

For the moment, this is as close as we get...

The pre-poop grimace...Jase was just trying to help Eli out...
