Shiny baby!

Because of Eli's eczema, we have to layer on aquaphor every night. He's so shiny!

Eli - 5 months

big drooler but no sign of teeth yet

loves his bumbo

1st solid foods!  carrots from Joe's garden and avocado

sticks his tongue out all the time

doing pretty well at night - usually getting up once between 4 and 5 and goes right back to sleep

4 oz bottles every 3 hours during the day

short naps - 30-45 minutes, then up for 1.5 - 2 hours

cheeks, cheeks, and more cheeks!

Happy 5 month birthday Eli!!

Eli celebrated his 5 month birthday with his first solid foods! Puréed carrots from Joe's garden. Eli loved it!

Tonight the boys and I were practicing spelling.  Trey asked Jonah how to spell rode, and Jonah spelled it correctly.  I said "That's right for when you say that you rode your bike.  But how do you spell it when you mean a paved road?"  Trey said "that is road."  Jonah said "and I can use it in a sentence!  It's like 'I road my car down the street!'"

All bundled up and ready for a walk!

Happy Halloween!

Joe carved all these. He doesn't let me use the sharp knives to carve pumpkins since Halloween 2006 when I scared him with my (lack of) carving skills!

Where oh where did my good sleeper go?

For the past 4 nights Eli has been getting up around midnight and every 2 hours after. Yuck! What happened to my good sleeper??

Happy 4 month birthday Eli!

13 lbs

Generally sleeps 6:30/7pm - 4-5am - wee hoo!

Loves:
  • His bouncy seat.  He'll be happy in there for 20+ minutes at a time, just talking and kicking away.
  • Talking!  He does his guttural sound less now, and is really into high pitched squeals.
  • Looking at himself in the mirror
  • Chewing on his hands

More interested in his surroundings

Belly laughs, ticklish under ribs

Rolled over once a few weeks ago from belly to back, and hasn't done it since

4 oz bottles every 2-3 hours during the day

Swaddled for nap and night

Eczema getting bad, so treating with lots of lotion and hydrocortisone

Almost always happy, but emotions can change quickly (Trey wanted me to included this)

Misused words

Set the bed instead of make the bed.  I think they are confused with set the table.

Golden instead of gold.  As in "can you pass me the golden crayon?"

Epic to mean violent.  As in "Mommy is this movie too epic for us to watch?"

I don't know where they pick up these things!
