December 04, 2019

Almost a full year has past since Noah and his wife Rhain Alisha welcomed baby Eli into the world on February 26, 2019. Since then Eli has won the hearts of everyone around him including four legged friends.

"It's been a wonderful 8 1/2 months," says father Noah. "Everyday just keeps getting better."

Rhain is thrilled to be a mother and advises new parents to "go with the flow" and be "ready for anything." She is taking one day at a time and enjoying every moment. The whole family loves watching Eli grow and develop his own personality.

Noah is equally excited about fatherhood and to see Eli take his first steps and start talking. Watch him continue to grow on Alaskan Bush People.
