It is amazing how things change or are different with the second child. With Selah I was constantly looking for the next milestone and it seemed as though time just dragged on. I couldn't wait for her to crawl, talk, or walk. Looking back now, and realizing she is 3 months away from her 3rd birthdy, I understand that time just zooms by. I also realize that the time I have with an immobile baby and unlearned vocabulary is a wonderful thing for the time being. Therefore, I want to slow down and treasure this time I have with Eli as a new baby, I want time to drag a little bit. But it has not granted my request, and now Eli is 6 months old already.
My precious boy brings me so much joy. It is almost inconceivable. Just a small glimps of God's love for us. His smile warms my heart. His cuddles drown out the stress and to-do's that surround me. I love my boy!
Eli now has 4 teeth and prefers to eat rice cereal and any pureed fruit or veggies early in the morning rather than at night. He loves to be held and just someone to talk to him. He sucks his thumb once in a while and is very ticklish. Must get that from his daddy...the ticklish part. Eli still wakes up at night, but has no problem going to sleep by himself without any soothers. That is just a little bit about my big, smiley boy.
