Not so cute now, is he? It’s interesting. The sickness is something they don’t really tell you about. I mean, it’s kind of out there … “Oh, if he’s in daycare, he’ll get a lot of colds the first year.” But there’s no way to really convey the horror of the Plague Months. For us,…

We think this picture says it all (sorry, future Eli): Yep, Eli learned to live a lounger’s life last week. We just got back from our first big family vacation, at Club Med Ixtapa Pacific in Ixtapa, Mexico. And can I just say that if you’re traveling with children, you should only go to Club…

That’s right, at just 10 months old, Eli attended his first Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas — although, to be perfectly accurate, he didn’t attend the show, since they don’t let anyone under 16 into the convention center. But he did go to Vegas, and he did, at least, get to visit the parking…

We decided that Eli needs to hop on the social networking bandwagon and start Twittering his daily activities. So, he has his own Twitter account and he’ll be posting short blog updates about his activities. Don’t worry, we’ll still blog here with all the pictures and videos, but if you’re just wondering what he’s doing…

So, we’ve got some catching up to do, eh? Last time we talked, Eli had the croup and was too sick to wear his Halloween costume, he was slowly transitioning from commando crawl to hands-and-knees, and his top two teeth were just poking through. Now, our main jobs in life have become “Keep Eli From…

He just couldn’t handle being in costume last night (and he had a pretty good fever going, so we didn’t want to cook him). But in the interest of record-keeping, we at least laid him on top of his costume and took a picture … and then he went directly to bed. Poor baby. The…

Eli and I are having a sick day today (and yesterday, and probably tomorrow, and hopefully not Thursday) because he has croup. Or, as Justin likes to call it, The Croup. He woke up with it Sunday night, and then got some steroids Monday morning for his worsening breathing. It’s a one-dose thing and they…

Eli’s new monkey towel takes bathtime cute to a whole new level: Speaking of monkeys, he may have a favorite new toy: He has a new girlfriend in Scarlett: And we’ll never need to buy him a car, because he’s perfectly happy with a shopping cart. Remember this, Eli. Remember it well. In cuteness relating…

I guess I sort of thought we’d get to six months and then just stop. You don’t hear a lot about seven-month-old babies, you know? Six months is sort of this milestone, and after that felt like uncharted territory. But here we are, marching on into seven months (as of Oct. 2). And marching we…

Breaking news! Eli has sprouted not one, but TWO teeth! We’ve tried and tried to take pictures, and I even thought taking a video might work, but Eli is much more interested in blowing raspberries and pushing the camera away than he is in opening wide for mommy: But he actually handled the tooth-growing incredibly…
