ELO Poses

I have been trying to help ELO with her photo shoots. She is a little shy.
Don't hide behind that hand!

Much of her time is spent crying for food.
I try to be encouraging--look at my smile...

She almost has the smile here--but she loves to cross her eyes.

No crossed eyes here but she seems angry rather than happy.

She has successfully mastered the pirate look.
"Argh matey!"

This is her pensive and perhaps exasperated look
She was going for "pouty."

She believes this will pass for surprised but really it just means she is ready to eat.

Don't worry she is watching me closely...

Almost a good pose here--just needs to open those eyes more.

She is improving...
just a matter of time and practice.

ELO at Home

My little sister is home.


Sometimes my Dad and Mom let me hold her.

Sometimes she will hold my finger.

My Grandma Joan and Grandpa Marion helped me adjust to my new sibling.

ELO has let me lay on her blanket with her while I watch TV.
I have given ELO my car but she is letting me play with it for now.

My New Sister

Well, I no longer rule the roost.  My sister made her debut yesterday (March 1, 2010).  She’s not as big as I was.  She was only 8lbs 14oz and I was 9lbs 2oz.  We were the same length though – I think, at 20.5 inches.   Though her hair is thicker than mine it’s not the cool reddish color that mine is.  It’s more black with blond highlights.  She already thinks she is some sort of fashionista.

Here’s mommy with my sister still in her belly

Here are the doors behind which she was born where my daddy he said he had to wait a long time to go in to see me born

Here they are about to cut my sister’s mommy interface

 

crying 
She doesn’t seem to be too happy here.  But at least we know her lungs and voice work good.  They could hear her all the way out into the waiting room

I think she is pretty cute, maybe even more cute than me.  But then again she is a girl and is supposed to be.  I’m still hold the title of the cutest boy baby
