Another weekly update. Elias has been keeping us busy. It seems he doesn’t like to hold still, so he’s either being held, in the swing, going for a walk, or a car ride. We started Sunday Morning with a car ride to the beach. That let Nikki have her first time off in 7 weeks. We think she appreciated it (she went for her first run/walk) and the boys had a nice trip to the beach.

The rest of the week was also busy. I’ve been feeding and bathing Elias each night to get him into a routine. We do OK at both. He’s getting much bigger. Nikki weighed him and he’s now ~13lbs. She had to go buy him some new bigger clothes this week.

He’s now 8 weeks old as of Sunday (as I’m posting this it’s exactly his Bday!!!). This weekend we all went for a drive to Newport on Saturday. He didn’t sleep in the car which is unusual. Mom then came over and helped me with more yardwork (we’re getting closer). Today was a nice long bike ride and then I picked up Mario Kart for the Wii (Jess, go RIGHT NOW and get a copy so we can play online 😉 ). We’ve had a nice slow day around the house since then.

I also managed to get some videos of Elias this weekend. The first is him in my arms Saturday morning. He was smiling and having a great time:

This second one is him in his swing. DO NOT WATCH THIS IF YOU GET MOTION SICK AT ALL!!!! You’ve been warning, I’m not cleaning your carpet. 😉
