Yes, it’s true, we’ve been MIA in the worst way. Eli has been generally wonderful, though we’ve had a bit of a rough week, as he’s been waking up a lot at night with what seems to be a combination of the four-month growth spurt, a little bit of a cold, and possibly some teething.…

Eli really digs airplanes! Not the car, still. Oh, no, never the car. But he’s very good on the plane, despite the occasional large in-air poop. (Is there some sort of Mile-High Poopers Club?) He slept like … well … a baby, and missed some pretty great scenery: When he was awake, he was a…

Clearly, Eli is far more intelligent than the babies in my mothers’ group. Those moms tell tales of babies who sleep peacefully through their travels — through entire car rides, time spent at the airport, the flight itself, and then continue to snooze on the way home. Well, those babies must simply be dumber than…

We’re writing to you from sunny Portland, Ore., where we’re laid over en route to Montana. (It’s a last-minute trip due to Grandpa Bobo’s clever plan to lure Eli out of California by going to the hospital.) So far, we’ve completed one leg of our very first ever airplane trip with Eli, and at the…

Watch this…. (by that I mean what you see below is a video, so click on it and it will play, make sure you make it to the end).

I don’t even have anything to say, here: I know, right? And get this: And then this is just ridiculous. Ridiculous. And it’s all a good thing, too, since Eli is back in growth-spurt mode, which of course involves nonstop eating and snuggling when it just happens to be in the middle of yet another…

Oh, ok, not true. I just needed a reason for this long absence. In week 13, we failed to take many pictures, mostly because Eli was wanting to be held almost always but otherwise unremarkably sweet and adorable, other than his growing hatred for the car. In week 14, that hatred reached almost epic proportions–to…

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…
