Yesterday, Eli took his first trip to visit his Uncle Adam, Aunt Carly, and cousin Shane at their house in Alpharetta. Shane was NOT happy to share his mommy with Eli, but he had a good time checking him out and helping Carly burp the baby. Here's a short little video of the experience....
Within the last few days, Eli has started to actually enjoy being on the floor playing with his Baby Einstein gym. Although his movements aren't quite purposeful yet, he still reacts when he manages to hit something with his hands! Please enjoy the videos - most are from the day he turned 7 weeks old!
I had a little fun with the video camera at our big Shabbos dinner while Eli and I were in Florida. I thought it would be fun to document the moment....here's a little clip!
Last week, on October 13th, Eli and I ventured to Florida to meet the new Kauffman babies and help welcome them into the family. At just under 6 weeks old, Eli was a fantastic flying companion! He received tons of praise from airport personnel and other passengers - I'm such a proud mommy! Here is a short clip of Eli waiting to board his first airplane ride!
Hard to believe that our little man is over a month old already! Time sure flies when you are having fun! (Did you think I'd say "sleep-deprived"? - I'm actually not.)
Here is a pic of Eli at one month and one day old...
Today, we went for Eli's 1-month check-up. He has been having problems with excessive spitting-up and vomiting, and he's still a bit jaundice, but otherwise he is doing great! His stats are:
Well, he finally did it! Eli had his first major diaper blowout this afternoon. He turned 4 weeks old today, and we were planning to give him his first tub bath later today anyway since his belly button finally healed, so we just moved it a little bit earlier!
We weren't sure what his reaction would be, but he handled it like a champ - not a peep out of him! Hopefully bath time will continue to be something we can all enjoy!
I didn't really mention this on the baby blog, but this has been a VERY interesting 9 months....you see, not only was I pregnant, but BOTH of my older brothers' wives were pregnant as well! Yesterday, my oldest brother Joe, his wife - Erika, and their daughter Rachel proudly welcomed the newest member of the Kauffman family!
