Elijah 365- part 24

As I've said before, we've kept busy lately.  We got very lucky this week and had great weather.  The boys and I took full advantage of that by getting out of the house a lot.  We went on long walks and a few runs to the beach and park.  Both boys had a great time, and Eli loves hanging out in the running stroller!  It's almost swimsuit season, so the boys and I are busy getting ready for it!  I hope they can get one more beach day in before we move! 
Not much new with Eli this week, however I do think he's very close to sitting up soon.  He is still grabbing a lot, and is very interested in his big brother.  He loves watching everything his big brother does.  His favorites are watching him walk down stairs, and watching him play peek a boo!  It's the little things!  I cannot wait to watch them grow up together!

Elijah 365- Part 23

As you can see by my delayed posts lately, we've been quite busy.  I hardly get more then 10 minutes a day to sit down, let alone post photos of Eli.  Don't worry, I've continued to take the photos for you all.  But my posts are probably going to be a bit more delayed as the months go by.  Sorry... but heck that's life with two little ones. 

Eli is continuing to steal my heart.  He is constantly smiling and laughing.  He's very interested in grabbing lately.  In fact, he grabs me so much that I constantly have bruises from skin he's pulled.  It's quite painful.  Just the other day a friend pointed out a big mark on my cheek.  Thank you Eli for pulling mommy's cheek!  He just gets so excited to see me that he just wants to bring me closer.  And yes, he remains a Mommy's boy!  Of course, Daddy is never home to begin with, so it's me or the dog and I'm better trained.  (I think) 

He's also drooling quite a bit.  I wonder when his first tooth is going to come in.  Brother's first tooth came in at 8 months.  I wonder if his will come around the same time.  As they say, every baby is different so who knows!

Things around the Stepanoff house have begun getting fun.  Eli has fallen into a fairly regular routine, and is really interested in the world around him now.  He is definitely a Mama's boy, as his face lights up whenever I walk into the room.  Big brother was a Daddy's boy, so I'm quite excited about this.  He absolutely loves watching his big brother, who really likes showing him his toys.  Eli even gets help from his brother, who is constantly cleaning up after he spits up.  He's so loved already.  

Here are our photos from this week!  It was a dreary week, but we did have some great weather in there and took full advantage!
