4/6/2008 Elias spent a lot of time in the swing today. He really seems to be at home in it. He loves the motion and it has a noise maker that plays the sound of the ocean that he also seems to like. We didn’t do much today since we got everything we needed to get done done yesterday. It was a fun day around the house doing nothing but hanging out with Elias and getting random things done.

4/7/2008 Elias and I get to spend some quality time together at night when I get home from work. I take him while Nikki showers, gets ready for bed and usually takes a nap. It’s fun for me because I get to figure him out w/o supervision. Some times I get it right, some times not, but it’s always great to spend time with him.

4/8/2008 Took this shot of Elias feet while Nikki was feeding him. They’re still tiny, but it’s amazing how fast they’re growing. He’s already grown out of some of his clothes and he’s into some that were way to big originally. Not sure how much bigger he is exactly, but it’s noticeable.

4/9/2008 Caught a few quick shots of Elias this morning before I had to leave to go to work… Nikki was burping him, but he was wide awake and having more fun making faces with me for the camera. He’s really starting to get some good expressions going. They’re hard to catch because he changes them every second, but it’s fun to watch him and try to catch them with the camera.

His eyes are still blue and his lips are looking like his dad’s and grandpa’s.

4/10/2008 Before I left for work this morning I grabbed the camera and snapped a picture of Elias with Nikki in bed. If you look back through the blog or PAD you’ll see a similar picture from the first day we were home with him. He’s obviously grown a lot since then.
