Our big guy was born Sept 14, 2011 at 9lbs, 20 1/2 inches long.
He is almost 5 months old now and has been so much fun! He is a great baby. He hardly ever fusses and sleeps through the night most nights. He has brown hair, blue eyes, loves watching basketball with Dad, and somehow he got my sweaty hands and feet, poor guy. We are constantly making the comment that he could not be more like us if he shared our genetics. He was definitely meant for us!
So of course I'm planning to have a wild toddler, which will be nothing new after these guys! Don't let the picture fool you; they're crazy.
Eli spends his days laughing, rolling over, going on walks, watching his puppies play, grabbing everything in sight (no more earrings for me!), drooling, and of course eating and sleeping. He has learned how to take his pacifier out, and sort of learning how to put it back in.
Eli tried peaches for the first time today, and I had to share this video. . Apparently they were a little tart :) I also discovered that kids learn their "p" and "b" sounds while eating, because those were the sounds he made when he spit out his food. I mixed the peaches in with his rice cereal and he ate a ton of it. The peaches alone were a bit much though! Sorry there's no sound. Don't know what the problem is.
The adoption process all went well. It was finalized December 14, 2011, and we were sealed in the Idaho Falls Temple December 22, 2011. It was such a special day, and we are so grateful to have him be ours for Eternity. Our open adoption continues to go well. This boy is truly loved by a lot of people!
Sorry for the long, and much overdue, update :)
