Lasagna Night at the King House

Lasagna was a huge success at our house last night! Everyone loved it, but no one loved it as much as super Eli! He loved it in his mouth, in his hair on his face, on momma's face, and on the dog!

"Eli is so happy to be a big brother"








Eli is such a wonderful big brother, and though there have been a few small tough spots he is adjusting really well. Despite Nates best efforts to bring down the house during night time diaper changes, Eli sleeps right on through.

Nate is on the mend from both the jaundice and eye infection. After dropping down to 8 lbs 2 oz on monday he has gained 7 oz in the last 2 days and is up to 8 lbs 9 oz. He is handling the antibiotics like a champ, and is as much of a pig as his older brother. Nate is a sweetie, and is apretty mellow guy (definitely his daddy's boy)!

We are continuously in awe of our boys!!! Love you all, Sam

Nathan Robert King

Nate is here!!! Nathan Robert King was born 1 week early on March 31, 2007 at 12:37 am. He weighed in at 8 lbs 14 oz, and was 21.5 inches long. Nate is GORGEOUS! Sam and I just fell head over heels in love with him on sight. He has a little bit of very dark hair and his gigantic eyes look like they might stay dark too!

Eli thinks Nate is pretty fascinating and loves to pet him (like he is a puppy), and watch him when he is awake. Sam and I feel completely and totally blessed with our two amazing sons. So let the reign of the King Brothers begin!

Baby Boy King's Birthday, Weight, Height, etc...

The wait is almost over. We are 37.5 weeks pregnant and feel that now is the time to start the birthdate, weight, height, and hair color game for our new little guy.

Eli thinks that his little brother will weigh in at 9 pounds even, will be 22 inches long and have red hair. As for the date, Eli believes the baby will be born on his due date of April 4th.

Sam and I actually think this little man will come in at 8.5 pounds, 23 inches long, and have blonde hair. I think he will make an appearance on April 1, but I thought Eli would come early too and he was 15 days late (so much for mother's intuition).

We are excited and nervous and can't wait to meet our second little miracle. Eli will be a terrific big brother and we are practicing giving kisses and being gentle with a baby doll.

P.S. If anybody bets that this baby will be bigger than Eli's 9 pounds 4 ounces and he is, I will get even with you.

Eli at 15 months

"Such a sweet face"


"Eli on the go...in circles"



"Eli letting out a rebel yell"

Eli is 15 months old. At his check up he weighed in at 29.5 pounds (95%) and was 33.5 inches (off the charts as usual). In addition his giant brain has placed his head circumference in the 91%. He is just a big, sweet toddler. He is up to 15 plus words now and is on the verge of running (which makes his hugely pregnant momma very very nervous!).

As the birth of our new little guy approaches we look back over the past 15 months with Eli and cant believe how much he has changed from the squirmy baby we brought home on Nov. 30th, 2005. He is such a little man now and he is growing up so fast. Luckily, even though he wants his indepence for most things these days he is still the snuggliest little guy ever (takes after his daddy). And yes, this post is definitely the pregnancy hormones making my sentimental and sappy.

Here is a link to a video of Eli. He has gotten good at walking and even kicks a ball.

Meal time in the King household

Meal time is extremely interesting now that Eli feeds himself almost all of his food (we still supplement with occasional jars of yogurt and baby food). He lives for cheese, cheese and more cheese and thinks quesadillas are the best creation ever (California baby at heart even if he was born in the midwest). He makes a GIGANTIC mess at all feedings and has decided that sharing his food with the dog, and my belly button (we are sure he is feeding the new baby through my belly button) is beyond fun. He definitely keeps us on our toys and we enjoy every minute of it!
