8 months old!!

Happy 8 months, Eli!!







Ahhhh....spring time. Just a couple pics of spring time flowers....



Thankfully, Eli is better now....it must have just been a 24 hour bug. I hate seeing him sick, as he really acts like he's in pain; so weak, tired and clingy. He slept most of the morning and afternoon on Friday and would wake up about every 15-30 minutes, cry and be sad, and go back to sleep (with help from mommy, of course). Glad he's better!

This week we went to a Parents As Teachers activity called "It's Raining It's Pouring". They had activities that could be done at home inside for those rainy days. Some of them were for bigger kids, but Eli could participate with help from mommy. These activities are great because they are free! We also attended breastfeeding group & Music with Mar.

Nothing really new to report as far as development. Eli continues to be strong on his feet and has done nothing even resembling crawling. I guess I should continue to enjoy the time he is not mobile as when he starts to show that first sign, we'll have baby proof as I KNOW I'll be chasing him around!! According to babycenter & Parents As Teachers, Eli should soon start to wave, pull to stand, & say first word. How exciting! I'm not rushing his growth by any means, but it's fun to try to imagine what his little voice will sound like!

He loves his Baby Einstein "My First Signs" DVD and mommy ordered the whole library on ebay for an excellent price. Every time I put it on, he smiles, laughs and usually starts clapping. I'm doing better about using sign language for things like milk, sleep, food, bath, diaper change, etc. I'm sure he'll surprise me one day and do a sign!

Enjoy this week's pics & videos!


Another Graceland vintage tee!

I enjoy clapping A LOT!!

I'm SO excited to be jumping!

What did you say mommy?

Happy 8 months Eli!!! You're getting so old. I remember when you were 3 months down in the cafeteria's side room. Glad you're feeling better too! Of course the pictures of you are fabulous, but please tell your mommy that those are most excellent spring flower pictures! We love the one with the brilliant purple crocus...awesome point of view too. See you tomorrow. Love, Cheryl & Callie
