Eli, eight weeks old ...






hey everyone, Eli hits thebig 2m! Although our poop superstar has been a joy this whole time, I feel like something has clicked ~ he communicates his needs fairly clearly now, can hold his head up on his own for short periods of time, enjoys extended periods of kicking around and belly-time, smiles more, likes to be cuddled more, recognizes his parents, etc. What a cutie! The transmission from our truck broke this week, and while it was being replaced he and I got a little cabin fever .... our computer is also being fixed, so there was a delay on blog update.
It's beautiful weather here, warm and green, and J has been riding his mountain bike a lot. We went picking blackberries and I made a cobbler that turned our teeth purple. In the pictures above, you'll see #1~ Eli wearing his camos, thanks to GrammyLinda, they especially show off his emerging pot belly ... #2 ~ Adoring looks at Dad ... #3~ The boys show off our new baby carrier, which Eli really likes to be in when I'm doing chores ... #4 ~ recent closeup, with hair ... #5 ~ We have to show all the moods, right? :) There are a couple more pictures to share which I'll put in the next post. He has a two-month checkup at the doctor on Monday, I'll know some of his percentiles then, I think. In the meantime, we bought a cheap bathroom scale which puts him at around 12 pounds ... double his birth weight. Crazy.
