This kid has rocked my world. He is starting to smile and interact with Kenny and I; It's so much fun and so gratifying to get a response from him. Eli has also started to snuggle into us; He will nuzzle right into a shoulder or neck. I'm loving the little baby cuddles. Eli will track me across the room now and I love being the favorite right now. I know that sounds bad now, but I know that Kenny will be the favorite as soon as I'm not the only source of food, so for now, I'll soak it up. Kenny and I are starting to get into a routine with Eli and figure out how to co-parent and remain in our roles as husband and wife. This week is going to be our first real week, with Kenny training newbies and me working 4 shifts, wish us luck! Fortunately, family is headed out here in 10 short days and we will steal away for a long awaited date. I've worked a couple shifts so far and have to say I don't miss Eli a ton. I know that when the time comes that I get to stay home with him full time (which will be amazing!), I won't be able to ditch baby responsibility for 25 hours a week. I think what I've been surprised about the most with Eli is how very much I love him and how completely different that love is over any other that I feel. I don't know quite how to describe that love, but once I complete his birth story, maybe I'll be able to articulate it through that post, which should be coming on Sunday!
Taking out the BOB! Eli and I both love this stroller and if the weather would start to cooperate, we would be taking walks in it everyday.
Its a little dark and grainy, but Sam loves Eli's crib and tolerates nap companions.
"Helping out" in the bakery
He's quite happy once fed and changed
Baby shoes before he outgrows them, I feel like he is going to be tall and broad.
Getting to know each other
Snuggly Saturday
Smiles!
Gah! Is this the cutest thing ever?
