Eli is Five Months Old!

Happy five months, Eli!  He is so active these days!  He is grabbing and playing with toys, scooting across the floor, and possibly getting his first tooth!  He loves to be social- he doesn't have to be held, but he likes to be near us.  He's also super affectionate; if he's fussing while nursing, I give him my free hand to hold and he calms down.  He really recognizes us now and gets so excited when he sees us.  He still watches everything Lily does, and he tries really hard to watch TV, while I try really hard to keep him from watching TV, ha. 

 

This month, Eli loves:

**scooting across the floor

**playing with lovies and stuffed animals

**laughing

 

First time in his high chair!

 



Happy Fourth of July!

We had a super fun Fourth!  On the third, we went to Slidell to one of Stro's coworker's houses.  He has a beautiful home with a perfect outdoor space, including a pool.  Lily had a blast swimming!

Stro was telling a story and Eli was just watching and listening  :)

 

On the fourth, we went to the McClouds for more water play, barbecue, cards, and movies for the kids.  Always a good time with that crew.
