No updates on Eli's sleep as it is still crazy. I never know what each night holds. I keep expecting that one morning he'll wake up with a tooth and it will explain all the night waking, but nothing yet!! He definitely is working on it, though, as he constantly has his hands in his mouth.
Eli has done better with sitting up this week. Here are videos/pics to prove it. I know, I'm a bad mom and didn't put a pillow behind him, but he's okay. He only cried a little after the first time falling backwards. He has to have something to play with to keep him focused and it seems that once he stops playing and/or turns his head, he falls over. Too funny...

I have been bathing with Eli almost every night this week. It makes it easier to wash him and he likes to splash and kick his legs. He really likes the water and doesn't mind when water gets on his face. Grandpa Bidney will like this as he will be ready to sail any day now ;) Here's a fun picture of bath time. Daddy decided to give him a funny suds do. Oh, and this was only pic we had that didn't show his boy parts....have to remember that!!
Next Saturday Eli has his 6 month pictures (a week and a half early, but that's okay). I bought him a cute overalls outfit at Old Navy for him to wear. Eli is wearing 12-18 month clothes in most brands. I try to buy a little big so he can actually wear the clothes for longer than a couple of weeks. He is almost 21 lbs. now and we are trying to hold out for him to move to his convertible car seat. I think we'll have to move him sooner than we hoped and he'll have to start wearing a coat and hat. Bummer.....
My mom complained that I never post pics with Eli & I. Here are a couple for you, mom. Notice my haircut. Long story but it's not my favorite. It's easy to care for but it's too short for me. Oh well, it'll grow!
Eli is doing better with tummy time and doesn't seem to mind spending about 5 minutes there. He pushes himself up sometimes and other times just choses to relax, like in this picture:
Fun video of Eli smiling at his toys. He seems to really like the noises and voices his toys make. He loves to grab for them and chew them, too.

Grandma Bidney will be here in a week and will spend some time with us. This should be fun and it is always nice to have another adult here with me during the day. Woohoo!! She will spend the evening with Eli on the 16th so mommy & daddy can go out to dinner for a belated Valentine's Day....yum!
Enjoy your week!!

Another great entry Amy! It was funny when Eli tipped over! I think he's wondering why mommie laughs everytime he falls over. It's just that he's so dog gone cute! Thanks for the pictures with you in them too, Amy. I didn't get in enough pictures when you girls were little because I was the one taking the pictures too often, at least it seems that way. Dad was a good photographer, still is I'm sure. It'll be seven weeks since I was last with you Dec. 29th! as in last year! Way too long! Seven out of 24 weeks is a big part of Eli's life! Eli willbe a weeble before we know it. "Weebles wobble but they don't fall down" was in a comercial for a toy. Do you remember it? See you soon! Mom/Grandma
