Eli is doing wonderfully! He is growing perfectly and is in the 50th percentile for a two month old baby (his original due date). The biggest thing that is happening with him is our routine is being set. I talked with my wonderful friend Kelli Stephens (who is one of the best moms I know) about making Eli cry it out. I started the process a week ago with no help from my mom or husband ;)! They both gave in easily. I stuck with it however and Aaron jumped on board and now we are down to less than a minute of fussing before he falls asleep!!!
I cannot say enough what a great baby Eli is. Through nothing that Aaron or I have done, but totally because of him. He wakes up happy, spends the day happy, is happy in his car seat, happy on walks, and just happy! I could not be more proud of our little man.
He is now sleeping 8 hours between feedings and we are hoping to make it 10 starting this weekend. He is waking up at 5 AM and I feed him, but this weekend (when Aaron doesn't have to get up for work) I am going to try and let him go back to sleep until 7 AM. That would be incredible for mommy.
Thank you for your continued prayer and support for our little boy. Being a first time mom is a challenge, but he makes is a joy and all worth while.
