I can’t believe my baby Eli is already 4 months old!!! People are definitely right when they tell you to cherish every single moment with your baby because they grow so fast!!! I have definitely enjoyed every single second with my baby boy from day one, but just can’t believe whatsoever that is already 4 months old today!!! CRAZY!
Mommy is still having a verrrry tough time at work, but as for right now- Eli is still going to Grandma Chris every Mon and Tues and then my Mom every Thurs. Mom works from home and Thurs is her dead day, so that is why she only has Eli once a week and why Chris has him twice a week. I just found out this week though that the two girls I have been talking with that live in Mackinaw about babysitting their kids (they each have one girl) has come to an end and it is FINAL!!! As of June 1, I am home with my little man eeek while also babysitting those two girls at part-time hours for both for the time being!!!!! My last day of work at the ole Farm is May! I am soooooo excited eeek!!! :]:] For the time being-Eli has been doing very good for both Grandma and Grammy though, which is excellent! It makes me a very happy Mama to know he is doing so good while I am stuck at work! :]
I honestly can not believe how big Eli is getting!!!! He looks like such a lil man to me haha! Whenever we go anywhere in public- people are like- “how old is he?” I say, “almost 4 months” and they go “OMG HE IS SO BIG!!!” I have never had anything to compare to other then Eli, so I don’t think he looks big. He is just such a long lil fella too!!! I am so thankful to have such a healthy baby boy! He did come across his first lil cold last week, which just tore me apart since there is literally nothing you can do since he is too young to take any medicines! I took him to the Doctor, to find out he had a normal cold that he is now getting over, and Mommy is just now getting haha! I don’t mind though if it is from my little Eli :] He is now feeling better though, thank goodness! I am so glad he didn’t have anything worse then a normal cold too!!!! We go back May 19th for his 4 month check up and shots:[ I hope he is a lil trooper again!!! I am anxious to also see how much he weighs and how long he is!
Eli is just now getting in the habit of eating more bed time cereal at night. We try to get it to him every so often, and so far he loves it! Dr Jani hasn’t gave us the official “go ahead” on the cereal, but we have at times and are expecting him to tell us to give it to him every night after his 4 month check up on Tuesday. Eli is sleeping wonderful!!!! He sleeps alllll night and it is so nice and I am so proud of my baby boy! He occasionally may wake up, but only because he dropped his binky and wants it back ha! Nothing but 5 seconds there! He is NOW sleeping in his big boy crib in HIS room instead of ours!!! The first couple nights he woke up scared but other then that, he has slept all night and it is awesome! I will say I go in and check on him a lot though haha- I just can’t help myself!! The only thing with sleep is that from day one, Eli is a little party boy at night and never wants to go to bed early. We will lay him down and he will lay there wide awake FOREVER! So now, we get into a routine to getting him to sleep each night whether it is in his swing, him watching his movie, or Daddy and Mommy rocking him to sleep, and then carry him to his crib for the rest of the night. It actually is not bad at all though because I am not early bed person either ha- so I feel I get a lot of time with him in the evenings when I have to work and all. He does go to sleep between 9:30 and 10 every night though! Isn’t bad at all- just some babies go way earlier then that, but not our party boy! :] He sleeps til about 5:30am on days when I have to go to work, and on days when I am off he wakes up between 6:30 and 7:30! Not bad for a lil fella :]
Eli really melts my heart when he looks at you and just smiles away! He always gives Noah and I the best smiles in the world and follows us with his lil eyes! It is so amazing when you are with him too and you go to do something real quick that is right beside him and he is staring right at you and watching you. I love it soooo much!!! Eli still has not rolled over yet- but I am not worried about that because honestly, with as paranoid as a person as I am, I would rather him not learn how to roll over for awhile longer ha. He has made it to his side, but not from his back to belly! Eli is now laughing, cooing, smiling, and a new one- SQUEALING too hahaha! It is so funny and so cute! I will say “Hey baby- can you talk for Mommy and Daddy?” And he will literally lay there and cooo coooo coooooo right back at you forever! It is almost like he understands what I am saying haha! Eli loves his little toys and he really is getting interested in his exersaucer! We are purchasing a jumparoo very soon too and I am very anxious to see how he likes that since he likes to “stand” up with us while we hold his hands! :]
Eli is now in 6 month clothes as well as 6-9 month clothes!!! CRAZY! He is such a long lil fella! I have a huge pile of clothes I put away in tubs not too long ago and can’t believe it with how fast he is growing! We will have to go buy some more big boy clothes here soon because he had more smaller clothes then bigger. But that is quite alright with this Mama because she loves to shop for her lil man! We haven’t had to buy one package of diapers since Eli has been born because of how many diapers we got hahaha! It has been soooo nice!!!! He is in size 3 diapers now as well, and still eating 6oz of formula per bottle. Dr Jani gave us the “ok” to also give him some juice at times too so he loves to have apple juice and prune juice too. I can’t believe he likes prune juice, but he really does. He doesn’t make one face at all when he eats it haha! Eli’s hair is actually lightening up too. Some days it looks like a reddish tint (he gets that from Daddy from when he was a baby) and then some days it looks blonde (and we all know where he gets that ha!) It is so amazing with how much your baby changes!!!! I love him oh so so so so much and I know he is the best lil boy for me to be a proud Mommy of!!!!
I apologize for this long novel! I can’t put into enough words how excited I am to always know I have my baby boy and hubby with me always and as a family! It absolutely means the world to me and I am so truly blessed to have them in my life! I would not be the person I am today without my hubby and my baby boy- that is for sure! They have both made me who I am, and I wouldn’t trade that for the world! My boys are my life, and I love them to death! I am so happy- so so so so happy! Life is definitely good :] Being a Mommy is one of the best feelings in the world too! I absolutely LOVE it soooo much! <3
HAPPY 4 MONTHS LITTLE MAN!!! I will post his stats for 4 months asap after Tuesday! :]
