Happy Boy

Eli Started laughing when he was 2 months old,

it is by far the cutest thing in the world.

See for yourself, and please don't mind

my baby voice!

Our Growing Boy

Now that Eli is almost 3 moths old 

I figured it was time for an update!!

Here he is at 1 month

weighing in at 11 pounds

 And here he is at 2 months

weighing in at 14 pounds!!

This boy is a chunk!! 

He is such a happy, smiley and mostly

easy going baby and we LOVE him!

I had a baby!

On July 12, 2012 I went to the hospital to get induced.

And on Friday the 13th after 9 short hours of labor, 

and 10 minutes of pushing

 this little boy made his debut!

                                                       Before              and             After

 

Eli Holden

8 lb 7 oz and 21"long

He was a whole pound bigger than his sis!

Since the day I found out I was pregnant, 

Ad said that I was having a boy,

and that she was having a girl.

So of course we had a brand new baby doll all wrapped up 

waiting for her at the hospital.

When she came to the hospital she told us, with tears in her eyes, 

that she did not want a "fake" baby she wanted a REAL baby!

haha poor girl, I told her she could borrow Eli 

or wait about 20 years to have her own!

First family photo!

 By this time my epidural was wearing off and the
lack of sleep was setting in.

Have I ever mentioned how much I LOVE epidurals?!

I'm so glad that hubby is an anesthesiologist in training!

Brandon changing the first poopy diaper!

Snuggly little boy!

Addyson had fun pushing Eli around the hospital room in his bassinet, 

maybe a little too much fun!

Daddy and his boy!

He's so proud and so excited for E's future soccer career!

 Buckled in and ready to head home!

Getting ready to leave the hospital!

The reality of heading home and having TWO kids
was finally setting in!

We LOVE this little boy and can't believe how much he's already
grown in just a few weeks!

I want him to stay little forever!

(as long as he learns to sleep through the night!)

Our Little Fish

Addyson just finished taking swim lessons and she

is now quite the little fish!

Here she is in action!

Dr. Radmall

I'm a little behind on the blogging

and figure I should catch up before this blog is flooded

with baby boy pictures, who should be arriving anytime now! 

Back in May my dear hubby became Dr. Radmall.

It was so exciting to celebrate with our friends and family

his great accomplishment.

It was a LONG four years, but we did it!

Here's our happy family after the ceremony!

 

Brandon and his girl!

Our very best friends, who we couldn't have 

survived without!

My parents

The Radmall side

And Addyson with her bestest friends who left us and moved to Utah!

cutest. girls. ever.

                                   Brandon also had his name in the newspaper the next week!
                         We are so proud of him and relieved that that chapter in our life is OVER!

    

Colorado

 We recently went to Colorado to visit my brother and his fam

and to celebrate the adoption of their 2 year old little boy.

It was a LONG 2 years, but so worth it.

Here's their sweet family!

Dancing Queen

Little Miss Addyson started dance classes in

January and had her first recital last week.

Watch out world, this girl sure knows how

to tear up the dance floor!

HAH!

(she's in the front row on the left)

Cutest 3 year olds ever?!!

I think YES!
Oh, and the little boy is the teachers grandson
and is not in her class so it totally threw her off!
