Eli is four months old already! I think his little life has gone faster than Micah's seemed to....probably because I'm a little busier this time around. Ha! You think you're busy with your first child, then you add another, and you realize you weren't really busy at all.
At his well-baby checkup, Elijah weighed 18 lbs. 8 oz. (96th percentile) and was 25.23" long (61st percentile). He's a chubbo, that's for sure! He did great for his appointment, only crying a little when he got his shots. In fact, Micah was with me, and I had to spend way more time comforting him than I did Eli! (Micah's scared of the doctor, and he didn't really like it when they were making Eli cry.)
In other news, Eli started rolling over from back to front last week. It first happened on Josh's birthday, so I guess that was his present from Eli. He did it so easily that it made me think he could have done it much sooner, had I given him more time on the floor. But with an active big brother like Micah around, the floor isn't always the safest place for a little guy--even one as "sturdy" as Eli. :)
Josh and I took both boys to the zoo today. It's been stinking hot in our town lately, but it was overcast and drizzly this morning, so it was actually quite pleasant. Micah loves the fish and the birds. And penguins, which are kind of a cross between fish and birds. Eli sleeps the whole time we're at the zoo. I don't think the poor little guy has ever seen any of it. Oh well.
So there's your update. Life is good here. :)

holy cow he's cute! Love all the rolls. Sydney has met her match!! haha
and bonus points for going to the zoo...totally miss it. I bet the boys would love it as much as Micah - he could show em around. =) not looking like we'll get back there this summer though, so maybe next year. =) thanks for the update!
