    Now, who says he can’t say hello?! I think that little smile and yawn was a pretty stinkin’ cute hello! Congratulations! I was actually up and wondering about you all! So excited for you!

    What a beautiful baby boy! Congratulations!

  • Mom says:

    OMGosh Matt he is beautiful, I think he smiled, can`t wait to hug and kiss on him. I`m calling Lis and Kelley, they have to see him. Dad was on his way to Gideons and he is so excited, but all he could say is, “how is Jess, she had a rough night”. Can you believe it they are still in bed, grrrrrr. Give him kisses for me, never mind your face is too fuzzy get Jess to kiss him for me. I can` wait for the girls to see him. When I told them your baby was almost here and they could soon see him, Sierra said, “No MawMaw, mommy has him in her tummy” love you, mom

    Eli’s premier showings have been in heavy rotation at the Plorin house since about the time you posted them. Lyla wants to hug Eli and keeps embracing the laptop monitor every time she sees him. Let me know when Jess is ready for a cheeseburger and I’ll be right down!!! (seriously!)

    Much MUCH love!

    Rosemary, Wayne & Lyla

    Congratulations Jessica and Matthew! Elias is so precious. i can’t wait to hold him and hug you all. You have been strong and funny, and made the birth process special for your family who can’t be there with you. Jessica hope that you are feeling better soon. Love you all, Aunt Sandy

    HELLO ELIAS!!! Happy Birthday!!

    Congratulations Matt & Jess…you made a perfect baby 🙂 We can’t wait to meet him 🙂 LOVE YOU THREE TONS!!!! Lee & Traci

  • Sara says:

    After that long of a labor I expected to see a little conehead or something, but he is PERFECT. His cheeks are to die for and that HAIR. And Angie may have to eat her words about that take-home outfit because his cheeks might spill over into it and fill it.

    Beautiful. Special. Soft. Amazing. Heaven-sent. You are blessed.

    Thanks for letting us all be a part of it.
