Elias Enrique Ramirez

Elias’ Christmas gift from abuelitos is an opportunity to pull up right now. Hopefully he will love all things boy, like cars and sports.

I love this smile!

Elias spent his first Christmas doing what we do every year - waking up to open presents, having the Koreans visit for lunch, and going to see the Chinese for dinner.  It’s a busy day!

Elias took three pictures with Santa. Mami wasn’t satisfied with the first two, so he needed a third. Here are the first two pictures. 

What makes Elias happy?  Eating. 

Elias is now army crawling. Time to baby proof!

This is one cute ninja. 

I can’t believe this guy is already 8 months old today. He was tired and had a rash on his bottom when I took this picture, hence the tears. 

A real life Mickey doll!

This looks like an angry face. 

Having a big sister like Isabella provides a built-in babysitter when needed - like at Barnes and Noble. 

It’s almost Christmas, which means it’s time to put up decorations. Elias couldn’t help much, but he was able to watch.
