Eli is one month!

Eli is growing way too fast, I cant believe he's already a month old! The past few weeks have been a little more challenging... the newborn honeymoon came to an end and our little darling has been more fussy in the evenings and requires us to put him to sleep (using the five S's) numerous times, before staying asleep in his bed. I decided to try the swing, and luckily he has started taking longer naps in his swing. He has been doing pretty well at night, usually waiting 3-4 hrs. between feedings. I am so thankful Jesse can help in the mornings and get up with Hazel, so mommy can get a little more sleep!

After looking back at Hazel's journal, Eli has very similar sleep habits and a similar temperament as Hazel did. Just like his sister, Eli wants to be held a lot, doesn't go to sleep on his own and is not a great sleeper in the car. He is adorable and we love him to pieces!
Jesse's mom and grandmother came to see us labor day weekend. Nanny had fun meting her only great-grandson!

Hazel has really enjoyed her new baby brother! She especially likes when he coo's and sneezes and thinks he's so cute! She also likes taking baths with him, holding him and showing him his baby toys.
