Six Month Check-up

Elijah is now six months old. He weighs 15lbs and 4oz and is 26.5 inches long. He loves to roll around the room and is great at getting where he wants to go (even though he isn't crawling). He loves to eat all kinds of baby food and can drink from a sippy cup. He has even started to clap his hands and wave bye-bye. He is growing up way too fast!

Jumping Elijah

Eli finally figured out how to jump in his jumparoo:

Halloween 2007

We had a great time with all the festivities this year. Here are a few pics from Halloween:

The girls loved carving their pumpkins:

Here's Elizabeth, Sonia and Abby trick-or-treating at their grandparent's house:

Here's Eli as a hotdog. (Matt picked out his costume.)

Here's another pic of our little man:


And here's all three of our little angels:

A family pic:

The girls just love their brother:

By the end of the night, Eli was wiped out from trick-or-treating:

Red October Run

Saturday, I ended up running a 5K called the Red October Run. Wow, was it hard! I'd been training for it for a couple months now, but for some reason, it was seemed so much harder running the day of the race. I ended up coming in 7th out of the 19 in my age group. My time was 28:42. I was a little disappointed with my time, but I'm hoping next time I'll do much better.

My sister ran too. She came in second in her age group.

Here I am before the race. See how happy I look; it is because I don't know the torture that's coming:

Here's all the 5K runners at the starting line:

Here's me around the two mile mark. I think I just wanted it to be over at this point:

Here's Lisa with her medal for second place:

Apple Orchard

Last week, Elizabeth went on a field trip with her preschool class to the apple orchard. Here's a couple of pics from it:


They each got to pick their own apples:



And, of course, enjoy some yummy food:



I think the highlight of the trip was playing in the hay:

Cute Elijah

Four-Month Checkup

Elijah had his four month checkup this week. He is now 13 pounds and is 25 inches long. He just recently discovered his feet and loves trying to get them in his mouth. He also can roll over (both ways), grab toys and play with them, and he just started eating rice cereal.
