10 weeks.

Baby Elijah turned 10 weeks old yesterday. Where does the time go? I just want to tell him to stop growing up so darn fast already!

He has changed so much in the last 10 weeks. He still has his blue eyes and dark hair, but he is staying awake for much longer periods of time, he coos and gurgles, and he graces us with an occasional smile (serious baby!). It is becoming easier to entertain him - he will sit in his swing and he tries to bat at the animals on his activity mat - but he still prefers being held by mommy more than anything else.

One thing he does NOT like? Long car rides. We took him to visit my mother-in-law on Saturday, and I am not joking when I say that it was the most stressful trip ever. The little guy cried almost the entire way home. We stopped at every rest stop for diaper changes, feedings and fresh air - and while he was happy when we stopped, the second that we put him back into his car seat, the crying would begin. I am not subjecting us to that again anytime soon...

Here's a look at baby Elijah, then and now...
