6 months and First Love!!!

We have been on a school holiday since Jan. 24th and have had a blast with Eli. It seems like every day he is showing us something new that he can do. Eli turned 6 months Jan. 28th, wow he is 1/2 a year old. He had his check-up and shots and once again did great. He now weighs 17 pounds and is 27 inches! The doctor says he is going to be tall like his daddy! We are happy to say that Eli is sleeping through the night, we put him to bed at 7 p.m. and on a normal day he wakes up around 7:30 or 8:00 a.m. He is now eating one meal a day of rice cereal and he loves it, we can't give it to him fast enough! Eli has mastered getting anywhere around the living room by doing the "inchworm", especially the places he isn't supposed to go like the cords! After being attacked by Eli while drinking from my water bottle, we gave him a sippy cup and he loves it! One of his favorite games to play is seeing how fast he can get to the edge of the our bed and seeing if mommy and daddy will catch him. He is so fast!!!

You may remember me telling you of our friends that had a baby girl on the same day Eli was born. Well they came to town and Eli got to meet Sadie! They had so much fun together and already there were sparks, haha! They also shared so much with each other.... drool, pacifiers, kisses, toys, pack-n-play and more!!! One thing we aren't yet sure of is whether or not Sadie shared her Chicken Pox with Eli! Even with her dots, Eli still thought the world of her!!

I love the books in the crib! I will have to get you a copy of a NEW book (SkippyJohn Jones) for him. They have a board book version! It is very cute :)

What beautiful babies! They definitely make a cute couple. And Eli has grown so much...he is starting to look more like his dad when he was little. Love all the pictures...now where is the video?

I have to agree with Jo. Eli is starting to look a lot like Corey. But with his mommy's eyes and nose!! Very cute combo. Mom

So much fun! Sparks do tend to fly over there with little ones, remember Morgan and Noah last year when we visited? haha! We can't wait to be neighbors soon. Keep your eyes out for a 3 BR pink house for us! HA!HA!
