Eli and his Hat!

So we had a good weekend... pretty relaxing, we hung out at home most of the day Saturday and then headed off to the mall around 4:00 pm to get a few birthday gifts. Then we headed over to one of my aunts for Tacos. We were there until 9:30 pm then headed home. I nursed the little guy and we went straight to bed! Sunday was pretty much the same. My wonderful husband was nice enough to take the baby all morning and let me get a few extra hours of sleep! Then we just hung out around the house all day, played with Eli, watched some TV and slept some more. At 5:00 we went grocery shopping and Mark went to get his haircut. On the way home we stopped at another aunts house for some apple dumplings and ice cream then we came home. Pretty nice and relaxing and just what we needed! I am ready to get this week started and really looking forward to this coming weekend. We get to take a trip down to Rio Rico to visit my parents and for Eli to meat his Great Grandma Bertha and his Great Aunts and cousins as well. Ohh and I get to see my friends and hang out for a bit! Mark and I will also be making our little routine stop at "Spankys" as Mark puts it... really it's "Shakeys" but they have GREAT pizza, and we will also stop in at the "Finitos" which is the best Icee's you can get! Seriously!!!

This is what I came down to downstairs after my "extra sleep"!

Anyway that's a quick little update. Eli is doing great, he is eating a lot more now, anywhere from 3 to 4 oz every 2 1/2 to 3 hours! He starts to cluster feed wanting to eat every 2 hours in the evening which his pedi said was normal since he sleeps so much at night! We also got one night where he slept from 9:00 pm to 5:30 am!!! Of course that was only one night but hey I can't complain with the rest of the nights when he only wakes up once between 3:30 and 4:30 to eat and they is right back to sleep. He is also a lot more alert during the day now, he is staying up for about an hour. He also really likes his bouncer seat! Which is nice for me, of course I don't even leave his side while he is on it, but it is so fun to watch him on there. I got a few pictures of him on it (posted below).

Bouncing Away... Eddie was so curious!

Eddie could not figure out what to do!

He finally licked Eli's hand (Look at Eli's face)

Then Eli didn't know what to do about Eddie!

Eli's many funny faces!

And last but not least, I got this hat from The Children's Place before he was born, and we gave it a test this weekend, it's still a little big on him but he looks so stinking cute in it! Everyone kept coming up to see him and his hat! Even old little men were coming up and asking how old he was! Haha funny, and of course, being my son he was not shy at all and would make faces at everyone that would come up to us! That is all for now... I just really wanted to post pictures of Eli and his Hat!

Eli and his Hat! (Sounds like a children's book huh? Hmm... maybe that will be my next project writing a book for Eli... "The many adventures of Eli and his Hat") So what do you think sound like a winner???? ;)

Loves to stare out the window

My handsome little man!

Everyone was going crazy over his little hat!
