So, I keep trying to remember that Eli’s week 12 is more like week 9, since he was three weeks early and all, but man, that kid is right on schedule. Check it out: He’s now fully in his 3-6 month clothes, which looked SO HUGE just a few short months ago. It’s amazing. Also,…

Man, this week’s batch of Eli photos is extra adorable. Witness: And maybe a little of this: And oh, yeah, how about a little mom’s-group-babies-all-in-a-row action? BOOM: Now, these and other photos (cute new outfits, blowing bubbles, visit to the Festival of Greece, airplane with daddy, podcasting with mommy, etc.) are the reason why Eli…

Eli hit an incredibly important milestone this week, which I’ll get to in a moment. First, here’s a look at his latest fun game, “standing with Mommy.” Note: no babies were injured during filming of this video. Ok, on to the milestone. Check it out: That, my friends, is Eli in the bathtub … NOT…

We went to Eli’s well-baby appointment yesterday, which was traumatic for everyone, but at least it ended in cute band-aids: Yep, Eli had to start his vaccinations yesterday with five–that’s right, five shots. Poor little man. Actually, I think he screamed more about having to get all undressed and weighed, but believe me, he was…

In honor of Derby week, we thought we’d introduce Elias to the world of big iron horses at the park. Although at the rate he’s growing, or attempting to grow, life as a jockey is not for him. Eli had a little growth spurt this week, mostly marked by eating constantly, crying a lot, and…

Here are five photographically illustrated facts about Eli. 1. Eli is by far the happiest when he can sleep on your shoulder (preferably the left, over your heart) in an upright position. We believe he now weighs just over 11 pounds and gaining, so the left shoulders in the house are taking a beating. 2.…

This week, we attempted to capture Eli’s big grins on camera with no success, really — this is as close as we came: But you’ll notice by the beard that he’s smiling at his daddy! In other events, Eli modeled his fabulous hand-knit sweater and bootie set from Mike and Jan, Eli and I went…

Eli smiled at us … ok, only at mommy … for the first time yesterday, and he’s whipped out a couple of gummy grins today, too! Unfortunately, he hasn’t yet smiled at Justin, who’s feeling just a tiny bit left out. I’m sure that’s up next, though! In other news, I finally got his room…

I don’t want to bore you with the trials of our latest week with fussy, gassy, screeching Eli, so here’s a look at the funnier side of his affliction. Listen carefully! And here are the week 6 photos we managed to take, in which we learn to love the Bjorn, explore the baby monitor, and…

It happened! Eli rolled over!* Ok, there’s an asterisk there because Justin actually put Eli down on his tummy with his left arm tucked underneath him. So, he had a little bit of a head-start. But then he just flung his little butt right over and ended up on his back, looking quite surprised. We’re…
