Here are some great pictures and a really funny video of Eli playing with his friends, Ellaiden and Cash. Eli took Ellaiden's hat off, but when she rolled over and started grabbing his ears and cheeks, he cried. He can dish it out, but he can't take it! Ellaiden pulled on Cash's ears as well, but he took it like a man! The whole encounter was hillarious!
Eli's 2nd bottom tooth has finally emerged from his gum, so now he's got two bottom teeth! However, the second one came with more of a fuss than the first. He's been having trouble sleeping both day and night, poor thing! I think the most painful time is when the tooth is working it's way through the gum, so now that they've both appeared hopefully they won't give us more trouble...until the next round of teeth come! I think it could've been worse!
Eli is 6 months old already! I say it every month, but it really has gone by so fast! This month especially feels like a big milestone month. He's so social, smiley, rolling all over the place, scooting around on the floor, grabbing things, putting everything in his mouth, he has almost two teeth, he's eating solid foods, he's almost sitting up by himself, and he's saying bababa and mamama as well as lots of other fun noises (I'm sure I'm forgetting other things)! It's so much fun to see all of these new things he's doing and discovering.
He had his 6 month check up today, and as we know, he's big!! He weighs 21.5 lbs and he's 28 1/2 inches long. He's greater than the 97th percentile as he's always been. He got more shots today, but did pretty well...just a little fussy and then sleepy most of the day. He got good reports from the doctor!
I'm trying to get a good video of Eli "talking", but can't seem to get a good one. I think I get a little annoying in this one. The picture is when he was eating avacado...I think he likes it, what do you think?
John's brother Steve and his wife Laura welcomed their twin boys into the world yesterday evening at 8:45 Denver time. Born first was William Khaled who was 7 lbs 6 oz, 21 inches and second was Alex Hamze who was 5 lbs 11 oz, 19 inches. Laura is doing well, but recovering from a c-section. I wish we could be there to see them! We'll have to wait until Christmas to meet them! I can't wait to see Eli play with his cousins! Congratulations Steve and Laura! Also, Happy Birthday to Gramma (John's mom) who now shares a birthday with her grandsons! How fun! In the pictures, Will is on the left and Alex is on the right.
Eli went to his friend Ellaiden's house today, and they had fun playing together. Ellaiden thought it was fun to put her feet on Eli. He doesn't mind a little kick in the face every now and then! They are so cute together!
