TOO CUTE!!

CHRISTMAS

So, I'm only about a month late in posting this...getting better! Christmas was wonderful this year. Hank and I hosted my mom and Troy and our friends David and Amber for Christmas Eve dinner. We had a great visit with the grandparents while they were here, it was Grandpa Grimes' first time meeting Elijah and they sure did seem to like one another. While they were here it was Grandpa's job to put Elijah to sleep, mostly because Elijah fell asleep so quickly every time he picked him up.
Elijah had a lot of fun with Grandma Grimes, he thought she was hilarious....


Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Grimes for spending Christmas with us this year, we loved having you!

Sleep training

We are using the Ferber method to try and teach Elijah to fall asleep on his own. The nights have been great!!! He goes down anywhere between 6 and 7pm and only wakes up once or twice to eat until about 6 or 7am.

Getting Elijah to nap has been a whole different story. He goes down alright (generally) but he wakes up right around thirty minutes and cries until we come and get him. I've tried and I have yet to win this battle. Hopefully the naps get easier, he is horribly cranky without a good one.

Caught on tape

Finally got him laughing on tape....little cutie patootie!!!
