So far he has been pretty quiet, only really crying when he is hungry. Could this finally be the mellow child we have been hoping for? Only time will tell. There's probably a good chance those other two rapscallions will corrupt him before too long though. But one thing is for sure; both Garrett and Jackie love him to death, which is a great blessing. Jackie is always trying get in his carseat or bassinet with him or sitting on the couch and saying "I take him". And of course, Garrett is a great helper, doing whatever mom and dad ask him to do and keeping Jackie occupied so she doesn't smother Eli.
Proud big sister!

It was really nice being able to take two weeks off of work (paid!!!!) to be home Eli and try and help Kristel out with the other two. Try is the operative word here. I don't think we are ever going to have a clean house again. Oh well. The other nice thing about having the time off though was I got to go down to Phoenix on the 9th and see Sunny Day Real Estate with all my siblings. It was an epic night. All four original members back together and sounding like they haven't been apart for the past ten plus years. Jeremy's voice was amazing. I would have to say my favorite singer ever. If there is any chance of them putting out a new album I will probably wet myself.
And then on Wednesday we celebrated Garrett's 7th birthday. I can't believe that. I can remember when he was as bis as Eli is now. He had a good birthday. We didn't really do a big party for him but we got him some good stuff and Kristel made a cake for him that looked just like the omnitrix from Ben Ten. He was pretty psyched about that. Anyway just a few more pictures and then that will probably be it for at least a couple months.
Isn't he handsome? Some feat was just accomplished.
Finished eating and just passed out with milk dripping down his face.
