Sleeping like a champ after a few minutes out in the afternoon sunshine.

Aunt Andrea and cousins Geneva and Brooke made the trip to Midland this past Saturday to visit the newest addition to the family. Brooke was trying to use the potty when we arrived, but was so excited when we walked in the door that she couldn't even take time to pull up her pants!

Proud Aunt Andrea reported that Eli was getting plenty of kicks from his younger cousin during this shot.

Geneva is going to be a big help to her mommy when her new little brother or sister arrives. Eli loves his oldest cousin!

Grandpa Deal makes a quick stop after work to check up on his youngest grandson. It looks like Eli's winking at him!

Grandma Deal gets a snuggle in.

Outside after Eli's first tour of the neighborhood. It's been pretty brisk weather since he's arrived, but we keep him pretty bundled up.

A Mulder family photo op during Eli's first official big outing. We had dinner at Grandma and Grandpa Deal's on Friday night. (We followed that up with dinner at Grandma and Grandpa Mulder's on Saturday... everyone wants to make sure we're eating well!)

Eli bundled for a walk outside. We think he looks like a starfish!

Snuggled up after his first bath. He actually seemed to enjoy the warm water.

Eli's great grandparents--Papo and Nana--made a special trip from Indiana to meet the little guy before they left for a few months in sunny Florida. Notice Eli's fire engine outfit in honor of Papo's one time career.

That's all for now. This new momma's got to go snuggle with her precious little bundle!
