Lost footage...

Eli had his two week old doctor's appointment today. He weighs 8lbs 10oz and is doing great. While the janudice is not 100% gone away, it is no longer a threat. The pediatrician said it would take a little longer for all of the yellow to be gone, but we had nothing to be worried about. Everything else is perfect and she doesn't need to see us again for two months! Yeah!!!



Eli is absolutely amazing. He has become more alert and has briefly started to make eye contact. He will follow my face with his eyes. Its amazing to watch him take in the world around him as he slowly starts to focus.

In all of the excitement, pictures from the weekend that Eli was born were downloaded onto Forest's work computer instead of our home computer. I finally got them a couple of days ago. I was so relieved since I thought they were gone. Allow me to back-track a little and share some really special pictures.







Ten perfect little toes.



I love my precious little man!
