Eli a Month Old

This post is really a week late-he was a month old on September 5th. But here he is! 

I think he looks like such a little kid instead of a 5 week old infant. He can lift his head and chest up when he is on his belly. I think he may be smiling at us but I'm not entirely sure yet. He is a very calm baby. Only cries when uncomfortable and hungry-the complete opposite from Hannah as a newborn. He eats about every 2.5-3 hours during the day and about every 3-4 hours at night. I have been able to line up Hannah's one nap a day with one of Eli's naps each day so both are sleeping at the same time. YAY! That was a big accomplishment for me. 

Hannah is growing too! She is such a smarty these days. She keeps us laughing and saying funny things all the time! Here are some recent quotes-

When getting ready for naptime:

Hunter "Hannah do you need to go poo?"

Hannah "No, smell my bottom."

Hunter "No thank you!" :)

At Babies R Us she saw a picture of an African American baby:

Hannah: "That baby dirty"

We then discussed how God made us all different and it is all good.

Her Poni gave her a photo album about being a big sister. It asks a lot of questions for her to answer. 

Book: What foods will you share with baby when he's older?

Hannah: Ketchup

Book: What do you want to be when you grow up? (there were three blanks)

Hannah: Mommy, Baby Eli, Daddy

She loves her baby brother!

 New game-lay out blankets and lay on them. Fun!

 Making friends....

Eli's first bottle-Daddy's first time to feed him.  

During our week alone when Jesse and Hannah were in Houston. Great bonding time! 

 Brother and Sister!

My first time "wearing" Eli-he fell right to sleep and stayed that way for 2 hours!
