Elijah and Granpa Arno....

Here's a photo of Elijah and his Grandfather. (Monica's Dad) Arno and Judy will be coming for another visit towards the end of October and will be staying through Thanksgiving. This will be Elijah's First Thanksgiving. I'm excited at the prospect of having the entire family together for the holiday...!

Happy 2 Month Birthday Elijah!

Here's another Baby Einstein Play Set Photo. Boy, we sure use that alot. Elijah just loves it...! By the way, today is Elijah's 8 week birthday...! And I'm still at diaper # 22 in the diaper changing statistics department. Monica has been handling most of the diaper duties lately...! (Yea!)

The Baby Dome...

This is what's called a Baby Bouncer. It vibrates, or bounces at various speeds to keep the baby calm. It's light-weight and portable. And a really neat feature is the see-through mesh that keeps mosquitos out. We used the baby bouncer during the US Open on evenings when we went out to play after watching matches on tv. It worked pretty good. I nick-named it the Baby-Dome because the mesh cover rounded it out. The Baby-Dome was a gift we got at our home-school baby shower.

As I look over this picture a second time I just noticed that it sort of resembles an astronaught's helment on wheels. (Do you see that, or is it just my imagination working overtime again...?)

Another Connor and the Baby Sling Photo

Here's a nice photo of Connor and Elijah. Elijah rode out the Hurricane just fine. He even handled a 12 hour aborted evacuation with ease in spite of driving at least 8 of the 12 hours without air conditioning in order to conserve gasoline. He hardly cried at all...! What a good baby!

Resting on Mommies' Shoulder

I think Elijah really likes having his photo taken. He's a good and happy baby. And He slept well last night...! That's good news for Mommy...!

Sleepy Little Baby Face

Elijah was asleep when I was about to snap this photo but he was just waking up as I pressed the button. He's getting close to two months old now...!

Baby In Denim

It was casual Day at the Chadwell House last Thursday and Elijah wore his Denim Overalls for the first Time...

The Denim Overalls were a present from his beloved Aunt Becky...!

A Rear View and Bad Hair Day Part II

I thought Elijah had an interesting look on his face in this photo... I can't really read his emotion here... Any suggestions...? I do think the title: 'A Rear View' is appropriate, though...!


Once again, Sorry Elijah... When You're old enough to read this blog You'll be mad at me. I know the girls are going to give you a hard time about your first born hair style, but hey buddy... We Chadwell men really like to let our hang down every now and then. Yours just hangs straight up at the moment!

Two Photos to Catch You Up...!

Sorry I've missed a few days... I took Sunday off. I was extremely busy Monday and Tuesday I was extremely sick... I must of slept for something like 15 hours on Tuesday.... Wednesday I worked at Columbia Lakes all day and the dial up networking is not condusive to uploading pictures... But, Here's two cute photos... -Enjoy!


Baby Elijah is really enjoying the Rocking Chair... He says Thanks Grandpa Arno and Granma Judy...! (They gave the rocker as a birthday gift to Elijah when he was born!)


Connor thought he would try out the baby sling... Elijah says... Hey what's going on here...? You won't see the baby sling on Coach Sam until I lose a little more weight...!

Baby in the Bed Part II

Here's another photo from the 'baby in the bed' series. And for those of you keeping up with the diaper changing statistics I changed diaper number 22 today. Elijah is 6 and 1/2 weeks now and he's doing very well.

Having Some Playtime...

Here's Elijah enjoying his Baby Einstein Play set.

He is such a happy, sweet baby...! What a joy!

Mother and Son

Here's Elijah and Mom in a classic pose:

Falling asleep in the rocking chair!

Some Serious Bed-Hair...!

We really do need to be thinking about getting him a baby comb or brush...! Sorry Elijah, When You get older You'll be mad at me for this photo, but I couldn't resist...!

Baby in the Bed...!

I'm starting a new series of photos I'll call 'Baby in the Bed'. This is the much anticipated sequel to the 'Baby and the Boppy' photo series. In this photo it looks like Elijah is practicing to be an air traffic director. You know those guys on the flight deck with the hand held marker lights who tell the big airplanes where to park...? I know, I have a very vivid imagination...

Cute Little Baby Smile

Here's a photo of the happy baby...! He's been enjoying watching his first US Open on Channel 11 all day today. He especially enjoyed watching Maria Sharapova earlier this afternoon!
