Fight!

While everyone was busy skiing, Eli and Tyler hung out with me in the hotel room. The two were good, except they kept stealing each other's toys and bopping each other. Eli tried to roll all over Tyler, who tried to sock it to him a couple of times. I guess he wopped Eli on the head with his drum at one point. They yanked on each other's toys and seemed to have somewhat of a good time. All in all, it was a nice trip. Maybe we'll go again next year.

Chomper

Eli's weekend was pretty uneventful other than a milestone, he got his first tooth! It started poking through this past weekend. He's had a few toothache's ever since. Luckily no fever, but his tooth bothers him a bit. He's got the extra drooling and crabiness along with his tooth, but he still seems to be in pretty good spirits.



On the trip itself, he slept most of the time in the car (its 6 hours each way). He played a little bit in the water park. They had bouncy seats for babies in 6 inches of water, but he wasn't interested at all in that. He took a ride on an inner tube around the lazy river with his dad and seemed pretty content with watching everything pass by. As a matter of fact, he was pretty interested in watching everything at the water park. He just didn't want to participate. For a 6 month old, who can blame him.

He is trying to get up on all 4's and is starting to rock. Crawling won't be far behind. Then we'll have to hid the kitty food. I'm sure his siblings can attest that it isn't very tasty.

From Crap Apple to Happy Pants

Eli was not real happy yesterday. We think he might be cutting a tooth. He chewed on everything until Huts gave him some medicine. I held him for a while in my arms and he slept. He never does that. He woke up when I put him down, and that's when he got some medicine. it seemed to help, and this morning, he woke up happy and ready to play.

Healthy

Eli had his six-month checkup, and he is fine. He played with the doctor's stethoscope and showed off for her, swaying back and forth while standing up. He destroyed all of the paper on the exam bed and chewed on books. We had to wait for a while, but thankfully, he was in a good mood, and so was his sister, He cried just a little at the health department when he got shots. He was a good boy!

Pooped Out

Eli went to sleep around 9 and stayed asleep until I got him up this morning around 6:30. He woke up with crusty eyes, one of which I had to clean before he could open it. The entire time, he is smiling big. This child is just so happy, even when I am wiping his nose and cleaning him up. He has very few complaints. What a life!
