Snuggle Bunny

Well, this is our little guy once again!! This picture was taken while we were waiting for the Cairo Christmas parade to start. I slipped out and forgot the camera so we used my phone camera and these pictures turned out soooo cute that I had to post this one!! Eli had a lot of fun at the parade and did fabulous. He loved the lights canopy that goes over Broad Street. He kept pointing at the lights in the air and on the floats. I know there is only one picture but this will do for now!! Enjoy!!

Love,
Melanie, Ashley and Eli

Looking back at past pictures

As I was looking at Eli's blog today, I noticed that his most famous pictures that everyone fell in love with were not on here. So I wanted to include a couple of them to archive the ones that we loved!! These were his 6 month portraits and our photographer, Long's Photography, did an incredible job with taking these pictures of our stubborn little boy!!

Enjoy,

Eli's Visit With Santa

We went to Tallahassee yesterday and had Eli's picture taken with Santa. We had a bad feeling that he was going to be horrible and scream but he was awesome!! We could not have asked him to be a better little boy sitting in Santa's lap. Matter of fact, he LOVED Santa!!! I am so glad that he likes dressed up people. He visted Aaron's Rents, Lucky the Dog, several weeks back at Ashley's work appreciation day and loved the dog. So, maybe he won't ever be scared of things like this!!! Enjoy!!

Family Portraits

Well, some more pictures are being added to the list. This time Mama and Daddy are in the picture. Long's Photography out of Tallahassee was so gracious enough to take our photos for our Christmas cards this year. Linda (Long's Photography) added one of our pictures to her blog. We have not seen all of the pictures yet but wanted to share the 1st picture with you!! Our little man is now crawling like a pro and will hopefully soon be walking. He is pulling up like it is nothing now!!

Eli's 1st Mule Day

Our family has always celebrated a day that was called "Mule Day". It took place in Calvary, GA, which is where my grandparents lived. I felt that I needed to carry on that tradition and take Eli for his first time there. I have added pics of Eli at the 4-H petting zoo. He was not real thrilled with the animals but we took pics anyway. I also included some pictures of him with his "new" favorite pacifier. Ashley bought him this pacifier before he was born and he is just now able to hold it in his mouth. It is too funny to watch him play with it as he loves this thing!!! Hope you enjoy!!

Mommy's Bored

Mommy got bored and had to add a few more pictures!! LOOK at those BLUE eyes!!! He got them honest from his Mommy, Daddy and Uncle Mikey!!! These are just a few that we took around the community with Daddy's cell phone camera. Enjoy!!

Our Little Devil

Well, as promised, we are adding more pictures of our little devil in his costume!! He definitely did not enjoy himself in the hat and tried to pull it off several times. But, to his Mama's dismay, he had to keep it on, at least for some pictures!!! As we were trick or treating at Mimi and Papa's house, we ran into "Little Red Riding Hood" and "The Big Bad Wolf". They were on there way off to do some major trick or treating and our little devil did not know what to think, especially with the Big Bad Wolf. His outfit turned out really cute but Eli couldn't understand why he had to be wearing this red thing that was HOT!!! We only visited the grandparents but that was enough for this year and maybe next year we can visit a few more houses!!! Enjoy!!!

Melanie, Ashley & Eli
