Eli's Newborn Pictures (Part 2)

 

Eli's Newborn Pictures (Part 1)

 

4 Generations

Today Eli met my grandpa, Calvin Eli, who he is named after...

And here's Eli with Bertha (my step-grandma).

And then here's 4 generations of the Briggs family...

And all my kids with their great grandparents and grandma.

It was so fun to get together and catch up and see how our family has grown.

2 Week Check-Up

On Thursday Eli had his 2 week check-up.
His pediatrician was thrilled with his growth!
She told me that the goal at their 2 week check up was just to regain their birth weight.

Here is Eli's stats:

22 inches (95%) and 9 lbs 15 oz (87%)

(He probably would have been 10 lbs even if he had pooped right before he got weighed.)

Sean and I are excited to have a big boy. 

I've always wanted a chubby baby and now I think I'll finally have one!

Newborn Comparison Pictures

 I have never been really good at looking at my own children and determining who they look like.

I always just think that they look like themselves.

 I decided to look threw the girls' baby pictures again and see who looks like who.

My kids all have my hands and feet. These are totally my toes.

I wish I had a good picture of Avery's feet to share. Her's were much more dry than Eli's.

 I've noticed that the more overdue my kids are the drier their skin is.

And here's Lexi, Avery and then Eli in their car seat ready to head home from the hospital. 

Notice that my kids keep getting bigger.

 And here's the kids (Lexi, Avery and then Eli) awake, laying in their Boppy pillow.

I've decided that my kids have some similar features but each have their own look.

Also looking through all these pictures has made me realize that Eli is so much bigger than my girls!

He has his 2 week check-up tomorrow, so we'll find out just how big he is.

2 Weeks Old

Our little man is two weeks old today.

It's been a crazy two weeks.

Here are just a few of the hundreds of pictures I've taken of this adorable little guy...
