Yes, I really did send out birth announcements this late after the birth. I figure if wedding thank-yous have a year to be sent then birth announcements have at least that. They're way more fun and important. Here's the little update I added to the back of each one:
Sooooo it's a little late in coming, but here is our newest addition!
It’s hard to believe it’s already been 4 ½ months since Elijah was born. The time is going by so fast, and we are doing our best to cherish each moment. Words can’t describe how blessed we feel to be the parents of this sweet little boy.
Eli has (obviously!) grown a lot since he was born. He is now over 16lbs and measures a whopping 29”. He’s going to be tall, just like Matthew!
He loves to squeal and make little shrieking sounds to himself, and he seems to have a coy personality. He kicks so hard in his bed that you can hear the thumping from the basement, and he’ll frequently twist around in bed until the morning, when he has come full circle from where he started the night before.
Elijah giggles, smiles, rolls (sometimes), blows raspberries, and chews on his hands. He is an avid eater, and he definitely has the coolest rooster-do we’ve ever seen on a baby.He’s everything we ever dreamed of and more, and we are so happy to spread the news of our love and adoration for this sweet baby Eli.
Today is Matthew's birthday and we've had a good time this evening celebrating. I made cupcakes, and they were quite delicious. I'm going to have to write about it all another day though, because it's late and it's bedtime.
