Eli–6 weeks old

Its hard to believe, but Eli is already six weeks old.  It really has gone by pretty fast, and I’m sure it will just get faster!

Eli is eating well and usually only wakes once during the night.  He is a very happy baby and usually just hangs out and looks around. He LOVES to stare at the lights and smiled at his big brother this morning when we were waking him up.  Precious!

Living as a family of four has been very, shall I say, busy!  Greg and I usually crash after the boys are in bed each night.  However, we did venture out last weekend and had a great time. We took Jake and Eli  to the Museum of Discovery on Saturday and even happened up on a St. Patrick’s Day parade downtown when we were leaving. It was Jake’s first parade and he is a fan!  Afterwards, we ate at the Flying Fish and let Jake count his “loot” (candy) from the parade.  Eli was knocked out in the stroller and missed all the parade excitement. 

This week, Jake is headed to Memphis with Greg’s parents, sisters and cousins.  It’s the yearly Spring Break trip to the Memphis Zoo.  Eli and I aren’t taking the trip this year, but I’m sure we will next year.   It will be Jake’s first time to spend the night away from home with out us, so I’m praying it goes well!
