147 Days

What is 147 days you ask? That is the number of days it took me to cut my first tooth! I made mom and dad (mostly mom...sorry 'bout that momma) get up every hour or two last night. I tried to tell them my gums were hurting, but I guess they don't understand "Eli-speak" yet. This morning, mom figured it out. She put her finger in my mouth (she won't be doing that once I get all my fangs in), ran it along my gums, and felt my first lil tooth poking through! Her and dad got very excited! I'll try to sleep through the night tonight, just for you mom and dad. Once my tooth pokes out more, I'll be sure to post a picture for you all! Here is one of me just looking cute for you guys.

Peace, love, and USA Hockey!

Can You Hear Me Now?

As a matter of fact, I can. As you may know, I had some hearing issues when I was hatched and I've been in and out of doctor's offices for the past couple months (it's no wonder I haven't caught a cold or the flu with all of those trips to waiting rooms). Well, last week, the audiologist confirmed for mommy and daddy what I've known all along. I CAN hear my big sister loud and clear! Not only have I gotten an all clear on my ears, my 4-month checkup weighed me in at 16.5 pounds. So when I am not listening to what's going on around me, I am eating!

In fact, the doctor said I'm not rolling over yet 'cause I'm such a chunky monkey. Apparently it takes longer for big babies to get their roll on 'cause we have so much to roll. So for now, I'm just laying back taking it all in. I'll be on the move soon though.

Here are some recent pics...

Mmmmm...I think I am going to like donuts daddy!

I am a happy guy.

Chillin in sis' chair. I know...I'm a future heart throb.

Keeping a close eye on sis. Mommy and daddy say I have to do that.

I have started eating rice cereal. That is GOOD stuff! Ummm, dad, bring that spoon back. I want more!

Yummay!

Coming soon - I got a snowball to my face last weekend when we got 4 inches of snow. I'll tell you all about it!

Thanks for all the hearing prayers!

Until next time...peace, love, and the Winter Olympics!
