Halloween!

So I thought that I should put up the world's cutest Halloween pic of a baby in a pumpkin costume :) Things are going well, Eli turns 5 months on Monday. I am starting him on solids in t-2 weeks! My little baby is going on solids- wow! I was just watching him sleep and he is such a little man. I love him and can't wait to watch him grow up!!! Alright here in the pic- will update more hopefully later, been reflecting alot on the whole pregnancy journey and where I am headed :)

PS- t- 18 months until I start again- woohoo!

Let's see

Hello all- What are some new developments in baby world? Well, Eli is def. starting to touch/feel things and thats sooo cool! He now rubs my arms while we cuddle and he is starting to play with his toys in his exersaucer. Its just cute in general. He has been staying up during naptimes these last 2 days and has been super cranky at night.. But no day here is consistent- lots of noise, movement, etc and so there is no real quiet place for him to go to rest! So I am trying to change his night schedule so he can go to bed earlier. We shall see!

I made my pumpkin puree today for my pumpkin bread that I am making tomorrow. I got a nice size pie pumpkin from the store for a loaf, but tomorrow Eli and I will be heading down to a local farmers market to pick up some pumpkins to carve and some more pie pumpkins to make loaves for everyone.

Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur went well. We made it to services each time and sat for a bit. Its hard though b/c my baby is a talker :) :) and during quiet time likes services it gets hard. But now we are in Sukkot and this year really is to early for him to enjoy/remember a sukkah- so next year- fo sure!

So Eli has a toy chest now and a bunch of toys I got from others and tonight I was going through them and putting them in age appropriate boxes/chests/etc.. Then I did the same thing with his clothes.. And its amazing how many things he has, in terms of clothes that he really hasn't been able to use that he has now grown out of! But its like half sad and half proud, as I put his clothes in storage (for either another boy down the line or something) that my little boy will never be that size again and proud that I got him this far! In though he is a baby he clearly has a personality and just needs love and support and nourishment to make everything grow. My little baby boy is gonna be 4 1/2 mths old on Monday!! I can't believe it!

I am starting to think about foods and how I am going to make them and its sad :( But happy at the same time..

I love my boy!! Hope everyone is well!

Rolling over! Scooting!

Wow- so much has happened in the last couple of days.. I have had some major bonding time with Eli and it has been wonderful. I think as I become a more long-time mama I am feeling so many things that I hadn't before!! I just am so much more involved with everything now- he rolled for the first time yesterday and today my Dad said he "crawled" aka scooted for him! My little almost 4 mth old boy (on Monday) is becoming a real life baby :) :) :) So I am very happy and love to cuddle and snuggle and give a million kissies a day to him :)Tis all for now!
