What a sweetheart Rhonda. Ian and I are sad we can't meet little Eli. Sending our love from Lloyd.
He is adorable, Rhonda! I think he has his very own looks, not like Alden or Lucy at all. You must be feeling great to have captured those sweet pictures already. Take care!!
Congratulations Rhonda! Little Eli is beautiful! All the best to your family!
Oh Rhonda, he is just gorgeous! I am so happy for you! Sounds like he/you had quite the week! I hope you are getting some time to rest at home now!
Can't wait to see you guys tomorrow!
Rhonda, he is just precious! Congratulations, again.
PS: I want to go back in time and have you take photos of MY babies. ;)
He is so adorable. Beautiful photos, and I love your list!

Oh my stars, Rhonda! He's so gorgeous! Congratulations on your sweet little Eli!
Beautiful baby Rhonda! Congratulations to you and your family. And even with evidence to the contrary, I will send you wishes for much sleep!
He is just beautiful!!
Ten days, holy cow! Seems like I just saw you waddling around trying to get him to come. (I can say that because I fully waddle and still have 2 months to go) Such bad timing that we left the morning after he was born. I have all my baby boy clothes out and washed, you could have taken them. And one of my car seats too. Oh well, guess you found stuff to use. Can't wait to see him in a few weeks!
what an absolutely stunning little boy. I am so overjoyed for you! I wish I lived closer, like Heather, so I could see you!!!
Such a beautiful little babe, and your photography is simply stunning!!
he looks different already. i wanna squeeze him! i love the yawning pics.
maybe that wasn't such a good idea to have Lucy feed cheerios to Sadie the week before Eli was born, if only she could teach him to change diapers ha ha..or maybe herself first
oh, i am so glad things are going well for you and your ever growing family.
he looks like a doll, and i can't wait to hear more antics from your two older kiddies, they crack me up.
He's beautiful Rhonda. He has been a very busy boy already!
Rhonda, are you trying to go for a double record # of posts? Eli's super cute. It was so fun to all be down (especially when everyone was busy) so I got my fair share of Eli time.
I love him!
I finally figured out how to leave a comment. Congrats on your sweet addition. You continue to be an amzing photographer!!! All the best....Jackie O'Hearon
Not sure why my comment came up anonymous!!! Guess I have more to learn!! LOL
He is just gorgeous Rhonda! Sounds like you had a busy week and little Eli is getting tons of love!!
He is so sweet and good for you getting the list going.
Congrats!! A bit late but better than never.
