Hi Eli!!

Hi buddy, thats what Lila and I call you sometimes.  And smiley boy.  This is my online collection of notes and memories for you.  

You just turned two months old.  You are not a newborn anymore.  But still a tiny baby.  The first few weeks you were so mellow.  You slept all the time and slept and slept and ate and slept some more.  We stayed in bed together for two weeks after we got home.  Two weeks after you were born we took our first trip out of the house back to the midwife.  You were healthy and up past your birth weight.  At your six week check up you weighed 11 lbs 11 oz no wonder my arm gets so sore from holding you.  Your favorite way to go to sleep is on my shoulder mostly walking around but rocking too.  You are mostly a mellow baby and only seem to cry when you get too tired.  Getting too tired can happen all too often.  Lila loves you so much.  She loves taking care if you and recently started changing your diaper "all by herself".  She likes getting you clothes to wear and throwing sorry diapers away.  She also lets my know what you need, when you are tired hungry etc.  She is always talking to you and and singing to you.  When you cry she tells you "it's okay buddy and it's okay Eli. " she also wakes you up all the time, bit what can we expect from a 3 year old?  Not silence :). And I'm sure you will get her back one day. 

Eli you are so sweet.  You coo and try to laugh and talk all the time.  You are such a happy sweet baby who I love so much. 

You grabbed the "o ball" a few days ago and you also just started holding your hands together.  You are gaining control over your hands and legs.  You sleep well at night and until just a few days ago had only spent the nights sleeping on my chest.  You can pick your head up so well and were simply falling off me because you are getting so big that now you sleep next to me.  It seems you like your head touching my face because you always wiggle to end up there.  

Oh Eli I love you so and am so lucky to be your mommy.
