Oh how we love our photographer! (c)Laci Sando

Laci has taken Elijah's pictures several times. We love her work so much and she's such an amazing girl! If you need your pictures done, let me know and I'll give you her information. She does great work! We had all of our pictures done this month because Mr. Elijah is 6 months old. Here are the professional pictures and I'll post more of the entire month, later. On a sad note, our camera was dropped (professional camera) and now it doesn't work :( - not sure how I'll take more pictures of Elijah, but I'll figure something out because the estimate for our camera to get it fixed was $145. Ouch*

Here is our family. Aren't we cute?! ;)





Daddy and his boys!

Mommy & her baby boy! I love this little guy sooooooooo much!


I must say, this little guy is probably theeeeeeee most adorable boy I've ever seen. Okay, I might be a little bias ;)


Elijah got his pictures taken in his 1st Little Reds Tee, with Kevin's ball glove that is super old and all of Andrew's baseballs!


This turkey is sooooo happy, allllll the time!


Brotherly love. Do they look like their father?

Crawling*

Elijah started crawling at 5 1/2 months. I've just now been able to finally get the video to actually upload on here. Enjoy!!!!

5 months & a big boy..

Over the past month, Elijah has learned to do so much. He started to crawl, pull himself up and stand in his crib, couch, anything he could get his hands high enough on. He also celebrated his first New Years Eve "party" and New Years saurkraut & sausage tradition (minus him eating any, hehe). He was introduced to veggies this month and just like most, he found his favorites and his not so favorites.

Mommy & Elijah goofing off, taking pictures on New Years Eve. Like his onesie with a tie?!


Elijah got to meet his Uncle Mike, Aunt Carol and cousins Maisie and Alyssa for the first time. Here are a few pictures:








Isn't he precious when he sleeps, especially with Elmo ;)


Kevin had a teddy bear when he was little and grandma Kocher showed it to Elijah. After that, he thought he needed to eat it.


Mmmm, I love my green veggies, my big brother and my toes!!!!






Elijah helping mommy wipe off his face. He loves loves loves to have a wash cloth. Everytime he takes a bath, I let him hold it after I wipe his eyes and clean his mouth. He thinks he's big stuff getting to play with one.


Relaxing in his bean bag, then ... momma came along and watched Elmo with me.




Elijah can sit up like a big boy.


Elijah looks cute even in a huge snowsuit!!!!


Elijah & Nana. I'm not sure how he has become a pro at holding his bottle because he doesn't get one very often. Too cute!


Big, blue eyes!!


Daddy, Elijah, Papaw and cousin Jacob (Jacob is 4 months younger than Elijah)


Can I play with you brother, please???


Look mommy & daddy, I'm really tall!


One word: adorable!


Elijah and his baseball hat.


Elijah has officially learned how to pull himself up and stand on his own in his crib. We have had to lower his crib mattress down a notch (we'll see how long that last before we have to lower it again). Below is an adorable picture and then a video of him in action! You will need to copy and paste the link into an internet browser to watch Elijah in action. Watch the whole piece.
