Elijah is changing so much every day. He smiles and is starting to talk to us. Okay, not literally, but by cooing and waving his arms and kicking his feet. He also likes his baths. Of course when I told this to Jake he had to get a picture...but little monkey wouldn't cooperate with a smile. Instead he decided to give his most common face..his so serious face. Jake and I swear he's going to be a genius. He's just so inquisitive. In any event we still got a few good pictures. I wish you all could have seen him the other day with his Tigger. He just kept staring at it on the changing table so I started giving him kisses with it and singing the Tigger song. He just kept smiling away. I think instead of a Bear-Bear or Bugsly he's going to carry a Tigger. I guess only time will tell.
On a new topic I just had to share what a dork I am. I was excited yesterday because I have been meaning to start buying the Sunday morning paper for the coupons but keep forgetting with the business of the day. Well, yesterday Jake ran in to Walgreens on the way to church and so I got my paper....and it had Proctor and Gamble coupons! Yeah! I always get excited when I get those coupons b/c it's always stuff I like better. Yes, I get off brand things...but I've tried off brand deodorant and some other personal stuff...don't like it. I don't know why but I like Secret and Pampers and all those good things a little bit better. And if I have a coupon...I like it a lot more. Yes, I know...I'm a dork. But I'm a dork who likes to save money on the stuff she likes!

He is SO cute, Elizabeth! Sure you don't want to come back to work?? hehe
Wow - he is changing so much already. It's amazing how fast they grow at this stage! And of course he's going to be a genius, he IS my cousin, after all.
I had to laugh at your excitement over the coupons. Isn't it funny how motherhood changes you and what we get excited about? For us, it's when milk goes on sale. I'll open the ad paper and shriek like I won the lottery if milk is on sale. Hey, when you have to buy four gallons at a time, it adds up!
He is just too precious. I can't wait to meet him in person and to see you and Jake as well. And you are not a dork for getting excited about coupons. I go crazy when I find a good sale.
Love ya,
Aunt Con
