Six months old, how did that happen?

Somehow, Eli is already 6 months old and I am not sure how the time went by so fast! How is it that our little Eli went from this, here at 1 week old....

to this...now 6 months old and sitting up like a big boy!!

He is such a happy little boy, always has a smile and a giggle for his older brother. Ethan can make him squeal and laugh in a way that no one else can. It is clear these two are going to be quite the team. Ethan continues to be extremely loving and protective of Eli. He loves that Eli is now sitting up and brings him toys to play with, we'll see how long this lasts. Eli is now rolling over back to front and wants to crawl so badly. He gets on his belly and just wriggles and bounces in an attempt to move an inch.

We also attempted to re-enter the world of solid foods. Initially Eli appeared to love oatmeal but then came the RSV and 2 ear infections and his interest immediately waned. Slowly we've worked up to eating Puffs, some oatmeal and water. He is always reaching for food whether it be his or mine but once it reaches his lips he balks at it like it is something poisonous. If he only knew what he was missing out on.

Every week in addition to going to Ethan's gym class, I have been taking the boys to the open gym time. Ethan loves being able to bring Eli down the slide though Eli does not seem too impressed.

I did however put Eli in the swing yesterday and that was a huge hit. He loved it and couldn't stop laughing and smiling. I'm so used to seeing Ethan in the swing it was strange to see such a little baby in the swing, he was so cute.

We meet up with some friends at the open gym as well which is nice for me to get some adult time with my friends, Cathy and Carin. Their daughters love Eli to pieces which is cute. They are always kissing and hugging him. Already a ladies man!!
