He is home







Hi, I'm Elam James Littleton.
I was born August 11th at 1:22 pm.
I weighed 8lbs 13 oz. I was 21 inches long.

I had lots of loved ones around. (by the way, if you haven't checked out my Papa and my Aunt Christy's blogs, you need to)

My Papa, Grani, Aunt Christy and cousin Hannah had to go home. I miss them very much.
My Oma and Aunt Robin are here helping my mommy. They spend lots of time with my big brother and big sister.

I've been eating very well. Mom is going through lots of diapers.

Tonight I had my first bath.

I can't wait to have a real bath one day. My brother and sister have lots of fun in the bath. They wanted me to take a bath with them tonight, but mommy said no.

Here I am with my Aunt Robin. I had the hiccups.

She loves me very much. Everyone takes turns holding me all day long. My brother and sister HUG me all day long too. At least I think they are hugging me. Sometimes I get red bumps on my head from all the lovin'.

Baby Update

Hey,

This is Aunt Christy reporting. Haley is in the hospital as we speak! She will be induced early in the morning (but she said we can still pray that she goes into labor on her own before that!).

So we will get to meet Elam tomorrow (Friday)!

I will get some pictures tomorrow and post them for Haley. So keep checking! I'll let you know ASAP as new news comes in.

Still no baby




Still waiting.......BUT it's going to be so much more fun now that baby Hannah is here!
She came late Monday. She joined all the others who are already here. Papa, Grani, Oma and Aunt Robin and now Aunt christy and baby Hannah.





















We went to Chuck E Cheese Tuesday.


























Here's Aunt Robin with Haven













And guess who this is??????? Yep, that's me, on a skee doo ride. It bumped me up and down and still no baby!! (I was tricked into riding this. I was just going to sit on it for a funny picture)






We also went swimming. Hannah looked so cute in her swim hat.

And did I mention, still no baby?

Lady in Waiting

This is a picture from my pregnant belly photo shoot about a month ago. My friend Allie is also going to take some newborn photos of Elam when he comes which I thought was going to be tonight!!!!





Yep, I had my hopes up for a few hours tonight. Not only had my dad come to town for a quick visit, but I was having some good contractions. So, I thought tonight was the night.
SADLY, the contractions stopped. Maybe they will pick up in the night or tomorrow.














Of course one of the first things for Gibson to show his Opa is..............................................................................




Mommy's new computer.

He opens the computer, clicks on his name, clicks twice on the 'e' and then goes to his favorites and choses Playhouse disney or Nick jr.

There is even a game where he types in his name. He doesn't get it right all the time but he is getting better.

Lots of Smiles




Every pregnant Lady in Waiting should be as blessed as me to have family and loved ones around. Robin has been staying with me for the past few weeks. She has been such a help.

Family in waiting

While we are waiting on baby Elam we might as well work on ourselves to look our best.



HAIRCUTS!!!!







Here is Gibson's before shot.










Look at Haven's long hair.





















Here is Haven's after shot. (my kids don't always have clothes on, so I figured out a way to "cover" them up)




Aunt Robin took some time to paint Haven's toe nails so she can look cute for baby Elam.




















Here is Gibson's after shot.




He has been dressing himself alot lately. (after all, he is a big 4 year old)
However, when you share a room with your sister, it's easy to get confused about issues like boys wearing capris pants.

(They really aren't capris pants. They are cute little bootcut pants, but when you put them on my long and lean son, they look like capris!)







They've also had some fun times with dad lately. Even though it's 3,000 degrees outside, Gibson and Andrew went to play with his new ball and bat.


It's an action shot. See the ball? Andrew said he did pretty good.
























Tonight Andrew laid down to play a quick video game. Next thing we saw was Haven and Gibson heading to their room to get a pillow and blanket to lie down next to dad to play too.







Mom and dad need haircuts too, but I don't think you need to see it. Do you?

It's been so long

Our computer died.
We got a new one finally.

I have so much to update on, but I will try a quick short and sweet post just to keep you up to date on the Littletons.

We removed wall paper from our kitchen. It's still not done, but we did paint the living room.

Andrew worked the 4th of July, but we went up to Dell and watched fireworks in the distance.

My son turned 4 years old Monday the 24th!! He had such great fun with his great grandparents.

AND, I'm still pregnant.









































I have a 4 year old!! I can and can't believe it.

He got a phone call from his grani and then his papa. He talked to both of them!
He also got a package from Grani. It was some cookies.

Then his Tulsa Great Grandparents came to town with Grandmama. He got lots of presents and a spiderman cake. We went out for dinner and then went to see the movie, "Cars".

Tuesday we went to Grandma and Grandpa's house for a birthday lunch with mommy, daddy, aunt Robin and Aunt Norma. (Boomer was there too)

Both kids had lots of fun. Haven has also gotten gifts the last few days. She keeps wishing Gibson "Happy Birthday!"

Well, this is becoming not so "short and sweet"

Here are some more pics.
