At the ripe old age of two weeks and a day, our tiny Eli is growing up fast. This morning his lactation consultant informed me that he had "officially graduated from Breastfeeding 101." (During his first week of life, he was a little slow "latching on" to the whole concept of nursing, but has been eagerly making up for lost time since.)
In honor of the occasion, I thought I'd post some of our favorite pics from the last couple of weeks.

Oh, Kara, he is SO adorable! Love these terrific pictures! You guys have a safe trip this weekend. Wish we could be there for the blessing!
SO CUTE!
We have those same "Big Sister/Brother" shirts. I love all the pictures. (What's Bruce's last name- he looks like someone from our mission.)
I can't believe 15 days already. I've got 15 more to go!
Congrats on your little graduate! These are fabulous -- I just love how you can take so many pictures with a newborn and they are all unique and darling. That's what you get while they are trying out all their facial expressions.
Great pictures. We had fun seeing him tonight. He is really cute.
Hopefully Eli will continue his sleeping habit while riding in the car.
My last name is Richards, where did you serve The Favorite? I don't remember any Elder or Sister Favorites...
What a beautiful little boy and family you guys have! I hope you don't mind me blog-stalking you guys! :) You should see Grandpa Charles light up when asked about little Eli . . .
