Eli is 4 months old!
Time sure flies when you're having fun keeping up with a growing boy! Over the last month, Eli has had a few setbacks, but overall he has done amazingly well. We are still awaiting the results of his pH probe study, but so far the numbers show that the medicine is working for him. Even better, he grew pretty well this last month!
Current Stats:
Height: 23-3/4" (10th percentile)
Weight: 13 lbs 4oz (18th percentile)
Height: 23-3/4" (10th percentile)
Weight: 13 lbs 4oz (18th percentile)
Not only has he grown, he is movin' and groovin' like a champ! A few days ago he started pulling himself across the bed or floor (he has done this in his sleep, but never purposefully after his paci or a toy like he does now)! He also can sit by himself for about 5 seconds, and will sit in a high chair or booster seat without a problem. He LOVES being in the middle of all the action, and he takes EVERYTHING in! He even likes watching TV (his Daddy is so proud that he likes football). He has also started imitating us when we clap or wave by moving his hands toward each other or lifting his hand as if he were going to wave. The other night he actually did wave at me (and both of us saw it and looked at each other like we weren't sure what happened)!
On the language front (very important to his Daddy the Speech Pathologist), Eli is holding "conversations", imitating sounds, and he learned a new skill - shrieking! He uses this new skill to voice his opinion (especially when he's hungry and I'm not moving fast enough)!
Eli has also started staying with a babysitter when I go to work. He has done amazingly well, and I get awesome updates while I'm at work telling me all about his smiling sweet self!
Coming up this month: Eli's second plane trip (to Denver) for his second cousin's Bar Mitzvah, my birthday, Mema's birthday, cousin Rachel's birthday, and Aunt Erika's birthday! It sure is a busy month!

Happy Noon-Year!
Eli and I rang in the new year with our friends from Mom & Me @ a "Noon-Year's Eve Party". We had a lot of fun, and took tons of pictures of our little guys (and girl)!
Happy New Year, everyone!

Eli & Trippe's 1st playdate - way back in November!
Back when we were in Florida for Thanksgiving, Eli and Trippe got to spend some time together enjoying Eli's play gym. Here's a video from this fun event!

Family Update
As I'm sure you all experienced from my pregnancy blog, I have a tendency to blog a lot all at once. I'm sorry that I've been so behind! I still need to blog about Thanksgiving, and it's practically New Year's!
Anyway, a little update about what's been going on with us....
I went back to work on December 6th. It hasn't been too bad. We have a wonderful babysitter - Lauren, that we love! She is like another mom to Eli. Work has been O.K., but it's been hard not really getting to spend time with Eli for two days in a row.
On Monday, Dec 21st, Eli will be going to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta @ Scottish Rite for placement of a pH probe to monitor his reflux. He had his medicine increased about 3 weeks ago, and last week it just stopped working as well. We're having to do a little investigative research to figure this out!
We are looking forward to the week ahead - BOTH sets of Eli's grandparents are coming to visit, and we are looking forward to some fun family time and a little belated Hannukah celebration with the Blaiss clan.
Hopefully I will get a chance to upload some of the new videos I have taken, and maybe even catch up on the blog posts themselves while there are lots of people here to love on Eli.
Happy New Year!

Eli is 3 months old!
Time sure flies when you're having fun! I can't believe Eli is 13 weeks/3 month old already! It has been a very exciting month for him - he took his first road trip to Florida for Thanksgiving, he attended his first FSU football game (which also happened to be Bobby Bowden's last home game) AND they won, he tailgated, he had his first playdate with his cousin Trippe, he had his first experience sleeping in an RV, and he celebrated his first Thanksgiving!
Unofficially, here are Eli's current stats:
Ht: Somewhere just over 22 inches
Wt: 11 lbs 5.6 oz
Wt: 11 lbs 5.6 oz
