Hi squirt!
I feel like I have a lot to tell you today, pumpkin!

First off, you are a bit of a fussy pants there buddy. You keep screaming at us. We know you are changed, we know you are not tired and we try giving you a bottle. Nothing works and you keep screaming. So, we made you a freshie bottle with warmer water and all is right with the world. Apparently, I need to get a thermometer because if your formula is not the precise temperature, it is beneath you. Your daddy says you better get over that junk quick because he won't be heating up your milk in a saucepan :) Mary says you fuss at her about it too.

Not only were you screaming at us, today you were a little PIGGIE - oink oink! This was the first day you have eaten so much food. We took some baby food oatmeal over Mary's and you ate about 1/2 of that jar. Then, you ate 2 FULL CONTAINERS at home for dinner. You ate a sweet potatoes with corn and an apricot! We also tried a couple Gerber Graduate puffs and you liked those. I think you liked a new texture and something crunchy. You were definitely a big boy today until you were throwing your temper tantrum about the formula being 2 degrees too cold :)

I made a big decision today buddy. I realized you were sleeping and I hadn't taken a photo yet today. I am giving up on the photo a day. I know that I take plenty of pictures of you that we won't go a week without a photo but the daily photo grind is too much. We end up with some bad quality photos just to say we took one. I also have to scrap them for you and your books are FULL already. I reorganized your book and you have filled up one whole 100 page book already for your first 6 months. I can't really have your first year be 3 volumes so I am making a change. Pretty soon, we will do a big photo shoot for your 6 month birthday! I also have another project whirling around in the back of my head I would like to try to focus on for a bit.

I guess that is about it for today munchkin. You are fast asleep and I am about ready to pass out on the pillow but I will leave you with some scrapbook pages I have done the last few days.

This one is kind of boring but I find it hard to scrap such good pictures. That scenery is just too beautiful to mess with :)


This set was also difficult for me because they are THEE Elijah photos. There is a lot of pressure on myself to do good pages when the photos are so good. But, I had to get them done because I needed them to complete your book.


Some great photos yesterday. I love the ones of you hanging over your dad's shoulder :)
