Bumbo Fun... Smiley Boy

Eli loves the Bumbo! I try not to keep him in there for too long though, once he starts slouching, I get him out of there so he won't strain his little back, but usually every time I put him in there he starts babbling away. He had been such a happy baby and I was so excited we were finally getting to the point where he would not scream when I put him down. I had been able to get stuff done around the house and then today happened! He was so fussy all day and fought so hard when I was trying to put him down for his naps. He slepped for about 15-20 minutes off and on throughout the day so he fell hard right now. I am hoping he goes until 7:00 am! ::Keeping fingers crossed:: Today he slepped until 8:30 am!!

For some other news, Mark and I have been getting our suitcases packed for this coming weekend. We will be going up to San Francisco and spending a week up there. Mark is going hunting with his dad and uncle, while Eli and I hang out with his Grandma Lynn. This will be the first time that Eli will get to meet all of our family up in California, He will get to meet his cousins, aunts, uncles and great grandparents so I a myself and looking forward to that and getting some pictures of him with everyone! I have been stressing about everything lately because with the whole trip and packing and everything else I forgot about poor little Eddie. Mark suggested we Kennel him but I can't do that so my parents are going to be very wonderful and take care of him for two weeks! My sisters boyfriend is going to come and pick him up this Friday and my parents will probably keep Eddie down in RR until Eli's Baptism on the 17th! (Although I don't think I can go that long without our Dog, I have gotten so used to Eli, Eddie and Mommy time everyday and watching Eddie interact with Eli) Sooooo... I am thinking I might make a trip down to RR after we get back from California to pick Eddie up.

And here is Eli and Eddie... Eli wasn't too happy! :)

Anyway, I am getting very nervous about our flight. We have so much stuff that we are taking up there that it is just going to be a big headache lugging all that along with a baby, plus I am concerned about Eli's ears (If mine hurt when I fly I hate knowing that it could happened to the baby and there is not too much I can do about it) I am also concerned about all those germs at the airport and being with that many people in such a confined area for a long period of time with the baby, aside from catching a cold or something I am worried about him getting fussy on the plane and he wants to be walked but we won't be able to do that. Ahhhh the worries, there are plenty more but I am just going to have to be brave and deal with them :(

Eli had been such a happy baby, smiling at everything and then today well, he was just fussy, but here are some pics of my Smiley boy!
