Eli's Two Months Old!

Can you believe it! Eli is already 2 months old! Time sure does fly by! He is getting so big! I can't believe how much he has changed in the past couple of weeks. He is smiling more and more. He squeels, and 'talks' a lot. He is especially happy in the mornings. He's been getting up around 4 or 5, then he goes back to sleep and gets up around 7 or 8. When I keep him on a good schedule he does better. We've been spending a lot of time playing on the floor. He like to lay on the big blanket great grandma got him and we play with his toys.

This is the toy that I have chosen for him to love :) It is the softest, cutest little bunny rabbit, and I am really hoping that he likes it as he grows older. I'm only moderately forcing it on him... :)

These are some pictures taken from today. Look at how cute he is when he smiles!! It is amazing, however, how quickly he goes from smiling...

To frowning...

To screaming, all in a matter of seconds. The funny thing is, he's cute no matter what face he's making :)

Eli is doing so well. He holds his head up better and better every day. Yesterday I put him in a 'bumbo' seat, which is a seat that helps kids sit before they are able to sit...anyway, he did pretty good. I had to hold his head steady a little bit, but he's not too far off from sitting in it on his own. He also spent his first night last night in his own room. Mom and dad have their room back!! He did really well (and so did I...I was worried I wouldn't hear him, and I did. Apparently 10 feet isn't really that far for noise to travel...) He also sat with us in his high chair at the dinner table tonight. We can now sit at dinner as a family.

He's really good at focusing in on things and following them. He watches his dad a lot when I'm holding him, and follows him with his eyes wherever he goes.

It's been such a fun 2 months. Hard at times, for sure, but amazing at the same time. I must be honest, though....it's MUCH easier, now that he smiles :)
