It’s hard to believe six months have passed since Eli was born. I still think of him as my newborn, as my tiny little baby. However, he is growing up fast and his little personality is emerging with each passing day.
He’s beginning to sprout teeth, though none have broken through yet. He grabs at everything, especially any type of paper, and then he proceeds to put whatever he grabs into his mouth.
He laughs. He lets us know when he doesn’t like something. He puts his arms out when he wants to be picked up. He sometimes gets mad when you leave him alone in a room. He babbles. He smiles. He loves his older siblings.
He’s starting to eat solids, but I think he gets more food on himself than he does inside his body. So far, he doesn’t like this whole eating thing which translates into frustration time for mommy.
I was hoping to take some cute pictures of him today to celebrate his 6 month milestone, but that probably won’t happen.
Instead he is sick and miserable. He has been throwing up, sporting a fever, coughing horribly and oozing snot. In just a little while we are off to see the doctor. Hopefully he will get better soon.
And hopefully his older siblings will get better soon, too. I have had enough of kids being sick this Winter … and it is only the beginning of January?!
Here’s to hoping for an early spring.

Eli hanging out with my dad, his Grandpa.
What a dapper little young man! He looks adorable in his little blessing suit. I can’t believe he’s 6 months either. Where has the time gone?! Where have YOU gone?! I swear the last time I saw either of you was four months ago or something!
He’s adorable! I’m amazed it’s been 6 mos already.
He’s such a cutie. I hope he gets better soon too. The kids and I have been passing around illness for a couple of weeks now. bleh
What a cutie in his blessing outfit! I am so sorry he is sick, and that your older 2 are sick as well. I hope all of you get well very soon!
Such an incredibly adorable little guy – hope he feels better soon. Love to all of you.
Oh, sick kids are not fun. Hang in there. That is the pits. I always hated having a sick baby who doesn’t keep food down. Stressful.
So cute! Hope he’s better soon.
Wow! Six months already? Where did the time go? he’s adorable. I hope your family gets over their bugs and that the new year is a healthy one for everyone.
Oh he is SO CUTE!!!!! Aren’t these babies just…lifesavers? What a wonderful blessing!
I think he looks so much like his daddy, and you look like your dad. I love to see family pictures where you can see a resemblance.
He’s adorable in his blessing outfit! Hopefully, he feels better soon!
So cute! Mine loves paper, too!
He looks so much like Kerri. I’m loving this age. Cheeks is starting to try crawling (rocking back and forth on his hands and knees) and loves solid food (that kid can eat like no one’s business).
We just got over a long sick spell as well. I hate seeing babies get sick. Sending healthy vibes your way.
Cutie! Hope he gets feeling better soon!
