the good patient

We just can't believe that our Eli is four months old already! With discussions about rice cereal and baby food at our pediatrician's appointment this morning, our once tiny baby is seemingly growing by leaps and bounds! Eli grew a whopping 3 inches since his two-month appointment and topped the scales at 15 pounds. He couldn't have been happier at the doctor's office as he entertained the waiting room with his endless conversation and smiled from ear to ear at anyone who gave him attention. We are so thankful for this healthy boy!


...Four things about Eli at four months old...

1. Eli loves to smile! He not only smiles with those sweet gums, but also with his eyes and his eyebrows. His big smiles brighten up our home.

2. Eli has recently started to pay lots of attention to Carmen. He loves watching Carmen chase her toys and will at times laugh as she goes back and forth, back and forth. We can't wait for these two to be special friends soon!

3. Our sweet boy loves to reach and hold dangling toys! We love watching the control of his arm as he concentrates to grab his favorite playmat penguin.

4. Oh, no! Eli has recently found his thumb and seems to enjoy it more and more each week. While I know that this could possibly be a bad habit on the horizon, I can't help but smile when I see his little thumb in his mouth with his pointer finger wrapped around his nose.
