Our First Two Weeks w/ Silas

Well the little guys has made it to 8 lbs. On Monday we had him see Dr.Mattern for his pre-circ visit and he has gain 15 oz in the last week. What a guy! Silas is just such a great little baby. He loves to sleep on the bobby amidst all the noise of everyday life. I vacuumed the last few days right under him and he did even move a muscle. Eli's screaming is only getting louder and yet that too doesn't seem to bother him either. I think when life in the womb is loud, when you get out your much more able to cope with the noise. So here are some pictures of what we have been up to for the last few weeks. It was so nice to have Jeff home for so long. I enjoyed every second of it. It was just so wonderful to have so much time to adjust as a family and enjoy Silas coming into the world. We mostly just hung around the house, took turns playing with Eli and holding Silas. We took lots of naps and had really yummy food brought to us. It was the best ever. I can't wait to have the next! Jeff just went back to work yesterday and things have been going really well. I'm learning how manage two and take care of things around the house. I think it will be a slow process but what has been easier is knowing what to expect.

So here are a few pictures over the last few weeks!

Remember these diapers I got a while ago...they really do fit the little guys too!

I think our first outing was church when he was just 3 days old. Then we went to Fredmeyer to get some much needed groceries.

This is Eli getting caught. He was suppose to be sleeping but really he was reading his bible. How do you get mad at your 20 month old for reading his Bible...all on his own! We put the books away and told him to stay in bed and that we would ready is bubby (bible) tomorrow.

Committed thumb sucker!

My friend Karla came to visit. She was so sweet and brought Eli a new toy also. Eli was so happy that Logan came over to play. Though Eli had a really hard time sharing his new truck.
Thanks for coming over Karla!!

Playing with the bugs that the Mardocks sent.

Last Friday we took a walk down to the water. The tide was out really far so so we got to play with the shells and rocks.

Silas working on his tan...no really he does need the sunlight.
He's a bit jaundice, but its almost gone.

Uncle Tim and Aunt Jessie came for the weekend!

So we had to go to Red Rob BOB for some food. Jessie's Favorite!

The new Blueberry Pomagranite drink is alittle sweet but yummy to say the least!
