Eli 4 months

My how time is flying by. Eli is becoming an easier baby but still hates his carseat and does not fall asleep in the car like his brother would. He weighs 14lbs 14 oz (between 50-75th%) and is 26 1/4" long (90-95%). He is quite the mover these days and rolls from front to back as well as back to front. This is earlier than Sam rolled both ways. He prefers to sleep on his stomach or side and is soothing himself to sleep by sucking on his fingers or sometimes even a paci for about 3 seconds :). We started letting him cry it out right after his 4 month appointment and I happily say he is now sleeping through the night. It actually only took really one night of going in there to get him to go through the night. Reassurance that he was ready to sleep through the night and not actually hungry. I picked up the dream feed again to help tide him over but not sure if he really needs it or not. He usually wakes between 5:30-6:00 and sometimes will go back down for another cat nap, especially if he didn't go down until 7:30 or later the night before. He smiles and talks a good bit. I am very thankful my kids love to smile, it helps with pictures (I'm so vain) We started putting him in the exersaucer and he actually really likes it. Unlike the bouncy, it keeps him entertained. He is also fascinated with his feet as well as the TV if it is on. He is interacting with Sam a lot now and i can't wait for a few more months to see them really play together.

Elijah, we love you so much and it is hard for us to remember what life was like without you. We thank God for you every day!!
