Yesterday, Mike and I were in the dining room talking and Haidyn and Eli were playing on the floor in the living room. They were getting loud. I tell Haidyn to ease up on the squealing, the high pitch is hurting my ears. Mike says, It's not Haidyn. I turn and look, and sure enough, there's Eli sitting there playing with his sister and squealing like a little girl!
Eli went in for his flu shot shot and weight check. He's 18lbs even and right back in the 50th percentile. Yay! He did okay with his shot, cried, but it didn't last too long. He's even sleeping better now. Knock on wood! Dare I even put in writing that he slept through the night last night? No 3am wakeup, not even his normal 5am i'm hungry and want to eat wakeup! I heard him talking to himself at 6:10! Woohoo!
Elias didn't have one of his better days today. He was a cracky boy! Jen said she tried to see if his top teeth were coming in and she barely touched the top of his gums and he screamed bloody murder. He's been cranky since I picked him up too, but it's bath night, so cranky or not, they're both going in. Should have thought of this earlier, he loves baths!
Elias is 7 months old now! I don't want to get too excited, but last night he woke up four times, but put himself back to sleep each time! Yay!
He's still not crawling yet, which i'm totally okay with. :) He's still our happy baby, that hasn't changed. But he naps well most days now, which is a huge improvement for him.
Haidyn was so excited that she's big enough to ride her big wheel now! She made it all the way around the block and as soon as she got back she wanted to call Nana and Papa to let them know that get legs are long enough now. :)
This is what a little boy with two teeth and two more on the way looks like at 10:40 pm. It's going to be another long night.
Mike was talking to her last night and he said he was going to miss combing her long hair. She patted his leg and said, ” It's okay daddy, it will grow back.”
Not sure how much she'll actually get cut off, I told her we would start with an inch and go from there. So we'll see in a little bit!
Eli has his first tooth! I wouldn't have even noticed if he didn't bite my finger. Just a little tiny sharp point poked though on his bottom gum. Yay Eli!
Times Haidyn will dress Eli up like a girl. Haidyn wanted to play princess with Eli. He didn't seem to mind. This time. :)
Haidyn was thrilled to find an Easter basket and eggs hidden by the Easter bunny. Eli didn't care so much. :) But he did get his first taste of Jello today. He liked it.
Haidyn had an Easter egg hunt at school today. It was lots of fun! Then there were games, crafts and snacks too! Deaconess Heidi sure knows how to throw a great party fire the little ones!
Can I have my newborn back? He slept so much better back then! It's a good thing he's adorable and such a good baby otherwise. :) He is now 27 3/4” long and 16lbs 8 oz. His weight is down a little in his growth chart but the doctor isn't concerned. He had to go back for a second flu shot in a month, so we'll check guys weight then too. He's eating like a champ. He loves his cereal, pears, peas and bananas. Applesauce, green beans and sweet potatoes are ok. He's hardly ever on his back anymore. He flips right over into his belly. He sits up really well now too. Can't get up by himself yet, but he's getting stronger! He still tips over after awhile, but every day he can sit even longer. He's a great baby and always has a smile for everyone.
