4 months old!

Eli turned 4 months old a little more than a week ago and I have been meaning to write this post ever since!  Since both of my boys are napping now,  it seems to be a great time to do an Eli update.

Playing with the toy

Eating the toy!

This past month Eli has really gotten into playing. He loves to sing songs, be tickled, and wrestle around. He does it all with a smile on his face, and gives us sweet giggles too. We love that Eli has started playing back with us. We pretend to eat him, and he growls and gets us right back! It is really cute. Eli will actually play on his play mat, and will play a little with his toys...before he tries to eat them. When he is on his play mat under the hanging toys he will eventually get frustrated because he can't get the toys to his mouth. He pulls and pulls, but they just won't reach, its pretty funny. This month Eli has really enjoyed his toy elephant in the car, mainly because he can chew on the ring. We are thinking some teeth are in his near future.

Being tickled by Daddy!

Laughing...

Laughing!

Eli went to the nursery for the first time this past month, and attended his first vacation bible school. He did great and everyone loved him! For the last 20 minutes or so of each day at VBS I would bring Eli back to the 3 year old class I was helping with, the kids were so enamored with him. One girl said, "That is the littlest boy I have ever seen!". It was cute to see the 3 year olds love on him and ask question.

This past month, Eli also spent his first night away from home at Granny Boo and Grandpa's house, while Mommy and Daddy celebrated their 3 year anniversary!

Another new thing this month, Eli has started to sit in his highchair. His highchair is a special hand-me-down from my grandparents. All of my bothers, sisters, and I have used it at their old house. It is fun to have it in our house now. He still a little on the small side for it, but he does pretty well in it. He especially likes like play with his fish on wheels while he sits in his seat.

Vroom! Fishy pops a wheelie!

Eli is growing fast, and it is so fun to watch him! He is a complete joy, and is such a sweet and funny little guy! We love you little bug!
