what was that about?
In the middle of the night I was woken up by little hands poking me.
Jonah: my clock says 1:03.
Me: huh?
Jonah: my clock says 1:03
Me: probably because it is 1:03. (checked my clock) Yes, it's 1:03.
Jonah: oh.
then he walks out,
huh?? what was that about? I don't EVER remember Jonah coming into our room at night, not even when he is sick.

I miss this face when I leave early in the morning
His new trick is to close his eyes when he smiles. It's so funny!

Happy valentine's day!
Me: happy valentines day Jonah! Will you be my valentine?
Jonah: sure. You can give me hugs, candy, and kisses, but not smoochy kisses.

Happy 8 month birthday Eli!
1.5 weeks late with the post, but at least the pictures were taken on his birthday! :)
Loves
- playing with cups
- peek a boo
- gurgling with his own spit
Hates having his nose touched
Very ticklish
Makes a sound when the phone rings or microwave beeps
Understands the word milk - like a dog he'll start drooling when you make a bottle
Now eating meals in his high chair
Fascinated with tags
Reaches for everything
Still swaddled
4oz bottle every 3-4 hours plus 3 meals of solids per day
Just started liking puffs and bits of banana. He will pick up the food, but doesn't get it into his mouth (doesn't even try) so he will open his mouth when he wants more
Staring to care when you take something away
Reaches out his arms when you go to pick him up
When you carry him, he will straighten his arms behind him like he's trying to fly away

A new plan for baths
Eli has never been a fan of baths. I've tried to bathe him in the sink, in the spa tub that Jonah LOVED, and in the big bath by propping him against my legs. On a good day he tolerates it until I get him out, then he starts crying. Then I had an epiphany! I remember how much fun Trey and Jonah used to have in the bath before they moved to showers, so maybe Eli just needed some entertainment. I put him in the bath with Jonah in his bumbo (which I'm sure there is a warning against). He actually smiles and laughs now! And it's good for Jonah to play "helpful older brother" and have a way to help with Eli. I probably lay on the praise a little thick, but usually he's so in Eli's face that we ask him to move away, so I want to make sure he has something to be proud of when it comes to helping with Eli.
