Thanksgiving!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving and were so happy that we were able to go visit Ryon's dad with his grandparents at the ranch.  It was a great couple of days where we ate and ate and enjoyed watching Ely move all over the place.  Since the last post Ely has started crawling and sitting up and finally got his first tooth.  Here are the pics from Thanksgiving.. I can't believe its almost time for Christmas already. 

6 Month Update

Ely hit the 6 month mark last week and we loaded up and headed to Hondo to see his Dr.  He is doing very well for his age and weighs in at 17.6 lbs and was 27 in.  After the check up we headed to Amarillo the next day for my friends Peyton's wedding.  The wedding was very beatiful at a local winery in Canyon, however I got sick that morning was not feeling very well.  So once the cermomy and pictures were done we made the decsion to head back early, so I did not get any pictures which I am pretty upset about.  Now back to Ely, he is getting bigger and stronger every day.  He can roll over like a champ.  He want to crawl so bad but cant quite figure out how to get his arms working.  There are not any teeth yet but he is working on trying to cut them.  Ely loves to smile and doesn't care who is there with him he will just smile and coo at them.  A couple of weeks ago Ely and I headed to Brenham, while we were there we went to the pumpkin patch with my mom and Whitney to take pictures of him in his halloween costume on Saturday.  Then Sunday we met up with Ryan and Stephaine to take pictures with Dalton and Mallory.  Stephaine got some really good pictures of all three of them which was a task.  Here are some pictures from the last couple of weeks.....

5 Months and counting

Ely is now 5 -1/2 months old and growing like a weed.  We have a six month check up in a couple of weeks so we will have stats coming soon.  Since our last blog we have been pretty busy lately and lots of things have been happening in the Jones household.  Ely has been eating baby foods and loves bananas, peas, squash and applesauce. He is starting to teeth and has been a little cranky latley but for the most part he is a trooper.  He loves to wiggle around and can roll from one end of the living room to the other in no time flat.  He loves to be outside just like his daddy. Several weeks ago we headed to Brenham to baptize Ely.  We were so happy to have our family come out for the day. Then this past weekend we had both my parents and then Ryons dad in town to spoil Ely.  Here are some pictures from the baptism and over the last couple of weeks.

4 Months!

Last week Ely turned 4 months old!  We took him to the dr yesterday and here are the stats:
14.10 lbs ( 50% for weight)
26" (75% in height)
The doctor said he has made grown lots and from our last visit and that Ely is very alert and advanced for his age with his movements and stregnth.  The doctor told us we could go ahead and start introducing solids anytime now.  I have tired giving him ceral but he is still figuring out the spoon.  He loves to sit up and see his surroundings, he is sleeping through the night and is just a very happy little baby. Ely is a well traveled baby and well definately know his way to and from Brenham before to long, last week we were there celebrating my moms bday and he is headed back this weekend to stay with them while Ryon and I head to Fredicksburg for a long weekend.  Here is some pictures from the last few weeks!

Ely and Ryon

Busy Weekend

This past weekend Ely had several vistors:  We saw Papa Jones (Ryon's grandpa) Thrusday morning and had breakfast with him at McDonalds.  Then Friday my parents came into town for the weekend and then Ryon's Cousin Krissy and her family stoped by Friday afternoon for a visit.  We were excited to see her and the kids and see how much they have grown since the last time we saw them.  Saturday I took my parents and met Ryon in Cotulla to see a deer lease the he found to lease.   Then that night we were able to go out with some friends to Concan for the concert while my parents watchend Ely.  On Sunday, we were sad to see my parents go because the weekend just flew by.  Here are some new pictures.

Ely just loves his chair

3 Months

I can't believe that only three months ago we blessed with Ely.  The time has just flown by and we love watching him grow more and more each day.  Ely is now sleeping almost through the night usually one waking up once, and when he is asleep he is out and noise does not bother him at all.  He is a very happy little baby and loves to smiling at others.

Trip to Brenham

Ely and I loaded up the car and headed to Brenham last week for several days to see my parents and for a friends baby shower.  We got to see several friends that we don't get to see very often, and went with Grandma to ride the hobby horses.  It was very hot that afternoon and some how Ely managed to sleep through all of it, but we did get pictures to remember it by! The next day we headed to Chappel Hill for Ashely's baby shower and Ely flirted all morning with all the girls there, and we can not wait to meet baby Sulik in several a couple of months. All and all we had  great time but were glad to get back home to see Grandpa Robert for a day while he was in town.
