3 months!

Eli is 3 months old today so I thought I'd post a little update on his ways............

~When he's hungry and you lay him on his side he grunts and roots and gets so excited

~He still eats breastmilk every two hours and I think he's eating more now because I'm so hungry ALL the time!

~He had his first date (Avery) and passed out on the poor girl!

~He can roll from his stomach to his back

~He kicks his feet and waves his arms constantly and can hold a toy if you put it in his hand for him

~He loves faces and will smile at girls (he's a flirt like his dad)

I can't wait for him to crawl but I can wait for him to get teeth!

~When I sing to him he will start to coo and try to sing along

~I'm not sure his weight but I think its around 14-15lbs, size 3-6month clothes and some size 6month, size 1 diaper in pampers, size 2 in huggies and 24in long

~He still sleeps in our bed with us but I think after the holidays I'm going to try to put him in his crib..........we'll see:)

Seat belts please!

What is the deal with seat belts on planes? I felt like every 2 minutes someone was announcing, "The seat belt sign is on, please reframe from getting out of your seats." Ok, will a seat belt really save you if the plane went crashing into the ocean at 1000 mph? I felt like the flight attendant kept checking my lap to see if I had my seat belt on when her time could have been used serving me wine, now that would have helped me if the plane crashed!

I can't complain though because eli was so good on the plane, he really liked the vibration and slept or ate most of the time. Of course he pooped as soon as we got on the plane leaving for Chicago, but I pretty much expected it.

This is how I feel right now

You can get so confused
that you'll start in to race
down long wiggled roads at a break-necking pace
and grind on for miles across weirdish wild space,
headed, I fear, toward a most useless place.
The Waiting Place...

...for people just waiting.
Waiting for a train to go
or a bus to come, or a plane to go
or the mail to come, or the rain to go
or the phone to ring, or the snow to snow
or waiting around for a Yes or a No
or waiting for their hair to grow.
Everyone is just waiting.

Daddy loves me

Eli loves his daddy so much.......I love it when brent comes home from work and starts talking and eli turns his head and smiles because he knows who it is :)

BEezy and Eli

We finally got to meet up with Christi and spend some real time together. We decided to meet about half way in between where we both live so neither of us would have to drive very far. I found a mall in Fairfield (Solano Mall) that seemed like the perfect distance.

Little did we know that this was the Mall where people get shot at! I wondered why there was no line for Santa. We should have realized it was ghetto when all the stores were owned by asians who glared at us when we wheeled in the bugaboo and asked for large sizes (I didn't know XL was considered a plus size!)

It was fun none the less and I did find a sweatsuit at "choice" and Christi found a cute sweater at "style for you" so it wasn't a complete waste of shopping. Christi did tell her friend who is familiar with the area about our trip and she told her "it's ok, just NEVER go back there!"

Mommy and me

Today me and eli went to our first mommy and me group with moms and their babies. It was really nice since all the moms had babies under 1.........so no chasing around toddlers. It pretty much was all the moms talking about labor and epidurals, and how were not doing THAT again for a LONG time!

The babies really didn't care either way but it was nice to have an adult conversation. It's nice to know that other babies only sleep an hour at a time and like to eat ALL the time (or at least it seems like it)..........and that we are all still trying to get back into shape but no one is back to their orginal weight!

I love my friends w/o kids but no one understands what your going through unless they have a baby.

Crue and Eli

Me and eli had a nice little visit in HB last week and of course eli hung out with his good friend crue. Now eli and crue have a lot of things in common; they are both babies, bald, were born in 09, like breastmilk and poop their pants everyday. They also have their differences; crue likes his pacifier and sleeps almost the entire night while eli hates his pacifier and can't talk nearly as much as crue.
Unfortunalty they both have no clue they are friends and who knows maybe when they get older they will be completly opposite. But at least we can try, and until they can talk they really have no choice!

Here are some cute pics of them hanging out.
