Swimming Lesson #2

Unfortunately, Jared was unable to be there for Eli's "first" swimming lesson.. so I braved it alone. But the second one, I took the role of photographer, and my boys had a blast. Until Eli saw me, realized that he was hungry... and started to fuss. He is so great in the water and the class is a lot of fun. And the best part is how long he sleeps for afterwards, it completely poops him out. No complaints here!

Pics!

Because Eli is just so cute... we can't stop taking pictures of him! Plus he's growing and changing so fast... so many new milestones! The other day he finally rolled from his back to his tummy, and got stuck underneath the coffee table. He is also now on Barley cereal... gone are the days of the nice breastmilk poops... the stinky ones are here! blech! And to top it all off, he is just now cutting his top teeth... my lil'man is growing up so fast.

Welcome to Manville

Jared had last Monday off, so we travelled out to Manville for a few hours to visit Grandma Caroline, Unlce Jerry, Danielle and family. It was a blistery winter day, so our visit was short to ensure that our drive home would be safe. But it was really nice to see everyone and visit.. especially since they hadn't met Eli yet. Here are some pics from the visit... and we will try and get out there again soon ;)

Eli's First Food.. Yumm-O!

Saturday was a big day for the lil'man. Eli started off the day with his very first swimming lesson.. which he LOVED. He was so good the whole time, completely relaxed and enjoying the warm water... kicking his feet and splashing with his arms. There was probably about 10 other babies... we all sang songs, blew bubbles, and floated. I'm so glad that he enjoys the water.
Later that day we fed him his very first food.. rice cereal. His intial reaction was pretty funny.. kinda a mix of confusion and disgust. He seemed to enjoy the spoon more, and now fights with me to chew on it. But overall he ate really well... and it was followed by some of the longest farts we've ever heard. So funny!
Today is officially his 6 month bday... so amazing to think that it has been 6 months since our lil'bean came into the world. What a sweetie!
