This guy is so gentle and mild, I often forget that he is there... I guess that's not a very good thing, but he is just so good. He will sit with toys, watching Al and Ellie play for a while, then sit in the jumperoo for another hour. He's started to go to sleep on his own too, and it's been wonderful. He just turns over on his side and falls asleep. He is so easy to please, and even when he is crying at the top of his lungs (which only happens when he gets hurt or get left alone for a while), he immediately stops as soon as I pick him up. He loves to smile and loves to look at himself in the mirror. He's only been sick like twice since he's been born (other than the jaundice problem), so he's just been a terrific baby to have.
Physically, he still can't roll over yet but he can sit up by himself with a little bit of support. He's got the two bottom teeth and is getting top four all at the same time! He can grab the bottle and feed himself and reach out and pick up cheerios and put them in his mouth. He was having some serious eczema problems durinig thte freezing cold weather but it's gotten much better now. He's so quite too the point that I'm sometimes worried that he can't speak. He doesn't really make any noises except for when he laughs, cries, or sometimes squeals.
He's starting to get into the clingly phase. He'll start to whine if he sees me or Joe walk out of his sight. He loves Al who's always trying to make him laugh and puts all really well with Ellie who just show him too much love.
He started eating rice, cheerios, apple sauce, and bananas. He still drinka formula like a champ though....
Eli wearing hand me downs from Al. When Al was wearing these pj's, he was walking around! And he said he remembers wearing these... Ha ha.
