Mr. Mom

Well tonight I had a youth event to go to and Bryan got to stay home with Eli and just be DAD (with out Mom to come to the rescue).   I pumped a bottle for him and he had a little bit of reserve in the freezer... side note, Elijah is hitting a growth spurt and wants to eat EVERY hour to two hours, ugh, keeps me busy! :) 

I must say I was not sure how the night would go considering Bryan has had his share of learning and with Elijah's eating patterns lately I just knew I was going to have to go home...I know we both are learning parenting right now but I at least had babysitting experiences when I was younger. (Honey, don't worry I will spare your stories... :) )

When I got home he had all the chores done, Eli was BATHED and fed and put in bed, he also gathered all the trash...wow, what a husband and dad. I must say I have the best man on the planet.  Thank you honey for being so wonderful and helping me.  (Now he has a little taste of how my whole day goes).

Big steps for Eli

Elijah has been making so many accomplishments these days...about a month ago we put him in his own room.  He is doing a great job and loving his big bed. (I still bring him in our room for some cuddle time)

He is also beginning to smile a TON!!! I love it.  There is nothing more sweet and innocent then Elijah as he is figuring out his smile.  He smiles at many things...funny noises, his daddy's voice when he comes home from work, the little doggie that hangs from his car seat and many other things. He is such a happy baby. 

Also over the past several weeks Elijah has been noticing bright colors and patterns. It is so funny...he gets his eye brows raised and just wobbles his head and stares.  With that he is really enjoying his play mat.  He loves looking at all the animals, colors and even at himself in the mirror.
