{6.4.18 - 6.10.18}

6.4.18     I love this little baby dearly, but it has been a hard month! The poor kid has had a hard time adjusting to life outside the womb and mom has struggled a little with adjusting to life with four kids. Although things have been hard, this little guy is amazing! He likes to be swaddled and loves to be held, he is great at nursing, he doesn't like a binky but loves to suck on my finger. He has already rolled twice from his back to his front and once from his front to his back, but I'm sure these were just flukes! I can tell he is going to be strong willed and so smart. He weighs 10.3 lbs (70%) and is 22.35 inches long (80%). I love him so much and can't wait to see what life holds in store for him!
I love these baby toes! 
He's still not sure of his siblings, but they sure adore him! 
Axel has a hard time sharing his cars with everyone...except Eli apparently!  
I love Axel's little fingers on his car and his lips saying "vroooom!" 
Axel loves to do "This Little Piggy" with "E-I" // While Eli is nursing Axel always comes in, climbs on my bed, puts a pillow on his lap and holds out is hands and says "Inna hold him!" 
I love this video of Lyla showing off her winking skills!
Axel's hiccups are hilarious!

{5.28.18 - 6.3.18}

Every morning looks like this. I wish Eli liked it a little better! Haha! 
Eli is so lucky to have siblings who adore him! (Lyla) 
Axel plays with some little wooden owl figurines at  my aunt's house every week, so she bought him his own owl and he loves it! It went everywhere with him for three days straight! 
I love my sweet sleeping baby! // Axel loves to get all dressed up. This time he used fridge magnets for earrings! 
Axel could not stop laughing at the girls during lunch! It was so funny and so cute!

{5.21.18 - 5.27.18}

I love it when my kids want to be helpful...even when it's not all that helpful! 

We love our Slurpee walks! // Matthew surprised the kids with a trampoline! I think I am going to like it as much as they do! 
He's so peaceful when he sleeps!  
This picture pretty much sums up how both the boys feel when Axel holds Eli. Eli doesn't love it, but Axel thinks its the best thing in the world! I love how much Axel loves his brother.  
I walked out in the backyard one day when I thought the girls were jumping on the tramp and found them in the dirt mound. They were happy so who was I to complain? Haha! // Axel loves to wear his swim shorts and his socks that look like a monster is eating his toes! He has started wanting to pick our his own outfits lately. He puts together some interesting ensembles!  
Don't let these pictures fool you...Eli sleeps fairly well at night (thank goodness) but during the day it's so hard to get him to take a descent nap! But he really does look so sweet when he's asleep!

{Eli Newborn}

I wish the tiny newborn stage lasted longer! Little Mr. Eli is such a sweet little thing and we love him dearly!

I love that I have a picture like this of all my kids! 





I love his little wrinkles on this side of his head!  
His hands!!! {LOVE, LOVE, LOVE} 
I adore these beautiful kids of mine!  
{Eli & Alya} 
{Eli & Lyla} 
{Eli & Axel} 
I think the big kids like Eli almost as much as I do!
