More videos!

Now that I have figured out how to do this correctly, here are some more videos for your viewing pleasure...

Eli's 1st Bath




Eli and "Aunt" Sarah - 2 days old




Eli & Daddy - 3 days old






Getting Dressed to Go Home!




Leaving the Hospital -4 days old!


Rockin' and Rollin'

I put Eli down for his second try at "tummy time" yesterday (at 3 weeks and 2 days old), and I couldn't believe what he did - he rolled from his tummy to his back! At first, I thought it had to be a fluke, but when I put him back on his stomach he did it again. I shouted for Joel to bring me the Flip Camera so we could catch it on video! Enjoy!

Happy New Year!

Rosh Hashanah is just 2 days away! Actually, it starts tomorrow night. It is the beginning of a new year in the Jewish calendar. It is a time of reflection, thanksgiving, and a promise for a sweet year ahead.

This year, things are just a little sweeter. Our son, Elias Solomon, was due on Sept 19th - the 1st Day of Rosh Hashanah. We were blessed (2 weeks ago today) on September 3rd, when Eli decided to join our family just a little bit early!

We have had the honor and privilege of being his parents for 14 days now, and in that time we have already seen what joy and blessing he has brought to the world. It is a miraculous event when anyone gets the opportunity to bring life into the world, and it is an awesome privilege to be able to nurture and guide this little boy as he goes through life!

So, as we prepare for one year to end and another to begin, we reflect on the beauty and sanctity of life. And we wish everyone a happy, healthy, and especially sweet new year!

Love, 
The Blaisses
