I CAN NOT BELIEVE IT!
My precious little baby boy is getting so big, with an even bigger personality to go with it! I thought I might take this opportunity to write a little note to him, and share it with all of you.

To my Sweet Little Man - Elias Solomon,

7 months ago you and I were formally introduced to each other, but I knew you long before that. The same little personality you shared with only me for those 37 weeks and 5 days is now the one you share with the world. You are such an amazing child - I watch you intently as you learn and discover new things every day. You are a quiet observer, taking everything in until you have decided your opinion - and then you gladly share it with all of us!

Being your mother has been the greatest thing in my life. When you get older, and you are no longer the baby of our family, always know that you will hold a special place in my heart because it was YOU that made me a mother. You are my first baby, and you will always be my baby. Even when you are grown and have a family of your own - you will be my baby.

I love you so much, and I celebrate each and every day that I have with you. You have brought me such peace, and you have brought so much joy to this crazy world.

I want to thank you for being you, and for choosing me as your mommy. You have taught me more than you will ever know, you have brought me some of the greatest friends, and you have shown me the real purpose of living.

Love,

Your Mama

Our Roly Poly!

All of a sudden Eli turned into a moving machine! Yesterday he started rolling over and over across our bedroom floor, and then we went to Mom & Me and I plopped him down and he sat all by himself!

He became a roller AND a sitter in the same day!!!!

While we were in Denver for Daniel Bush's Bar Mitzvah, Eli got a taste of his first solid foods -prunes and apples! He LOVES to eat and was totally hooked!

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)

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!
