my baby turned 6 months on october 10 2009! or as my dad put it, "you turn point five today!" he is so big and SO active. mike and i just adore him and are having so much fun lately. mike is constantly telling me how much he loves being a dad. that's like music to my ears, i love that he loves being a dad, and he's pretty good at it too. so let us all praise eli in all he has accomplished as of his 1/2 year mark....
-crawling like a pro
-sitting up
-sitting to crawling
-pulling up to standing on EVERYTHING
-screaming and yelling. yep, a whiner. big surprise.
-loves being scared or startled, laughs hysterically. don't ask me how we figured that out.
-can't get enough of daddy. loves riding on his shoulders.
-gets the biggest grin and grabs at the phone when i'm talking to mike on speaker. then yells at me when i don't give him the phone.
-has eaten all the vegetables and now on to fruits for the first time
-has taken to caressing my face when i feed or "cradle" him
-pulls my hair
-loves dogs
-has two bottom teeth
-last time i weighed him, about 3 weeks ago, was 16 lbs. 8 oz.
-has a really nerdy laugh. seriously, i'll record it sometime.
-LOVES being outside
-he has started pulling himself forward in his stroller while on walks. he thinks he's really cool.
-loves loves his cousin violet. it is a sight to see when they catch each other's eye after waking up from a nap or just entering a room. oh it is love.
-loves to watch his cousins jayms and johnny from afar. they are a bit crazier than what he's used to, but loves them just the same.
-has a soft spot for his uncle todd
-gives auntie claire the best kisses
-does NOT sleep through the night. wakes up twice wanting to grub. any suggestions?
-is a very light sleeper. my sisters curse me because i'm always shushing them, and i literally tip toe when i walk past his room. it's pathetic.
eli is such a sweetheart and we couldn't ask for more! he is our world, our love, our everything!

Such a cute and sweet little boy! No suggestions about the the sleeing through the night! Just get used to it! Hahaha!
he is so cute... I totally agree with the music to your ears thing.. All men have to do is tell us how much they love our babies and we will be happy forever :) Okay and that they love us too...
Have you tried having him sleep with a fan? We would literally die without running a fan all the time for Charlie.
To sleep through the night...feed him those veggies and fruits and maybe some cereal. If he goes to bed with a full tummy, he will sleep better.
I'm glad you ASKED for advice, because I don't want to be an interfering know it all mother in law! I like Rachel's suggestion of having a fan on during nap time...if there are noises going on all the time during the day, then he will get used to it. Love you, Mike, and Eli lots! I'm glad you're having fun with this sweetie!
eli is getting SO SO BIG! i miss him so much. him and quinn would have so much fun together.
dede if you read this, RUDE for still not inviting me to your blog. i'm crying.
threaten him to get him to sleep through the night. tell him if he wakes you up, the next night he'll have to sleep outside. it worked for v. i only had to make her sleep outside like, three times.
love, auntie cassie.
