Well, Eli's not exactly 4 months anymore. That passed away on the 7th, but I have not posted in a long time! But he did have his 4 month check up last Monday and everything was going well. His pediatrician thought that he was catching up nicely. He was 11 lbs 5 oz and 23 inches long, so is still growing like crazy. He likes to eat a lot so I think that has something to do with it!
He has also started being a lot more social and smiles, laughs and talks all the time. It's fun to see, since Caleb was never this social. It's fun to have a baby who rewards our goofy faces and sound affects with laughs and smiles. It's also just nice to know that he can have a pleasant personality since for so long it seemed like he was either asleep or crying, and there seemed like there was no light at the end of his grumpy tunnel.
He has also very much figured out night and day. He sleeps from about 9:00 at night to around 5:00 in the morning, which I think is doing AWESOME! I can live with that. He still has trouble napping in his own space (really any object I try to put him on that isn't me holding him) So it's still hard to get stuff done. Even right now He is laying on the boppy on my lap because apparently he was done sleeping in the pack n play, but not actually done taking a nap. But I felt I was getting tired of doing Sudoku, the one think I can do with only one arm, and needed to update the blog for a change!
Another fun thing since the last post was that we made it down to my parents house for the Tapps Island Garage sale! Besides getting rid of a lot of stuff, Eli was able to have his first lake experience down there and his first boat ride. Not sure if he was a huge fan, as most babies don't like to wear the life jacket. Me, being the mean mom that I am, just figures he better get used to it!!!!! But it was fun for the rest of us!
