A Nickell for Your Thoughts: Little Eli

Little Eli

OK so I have to confess I am super late on the Eli Update! When we got back from Dallas I took Eli in for his 4 Month check up (a few weeks late). He measured 25.5 inches and weighed 12lbs 9oz. He is about 55% for height and like 5% for weight (but consistent growth so all was good)! He did great with his shots, we celebrated at Disneyland after the appointment (it seems to be one of our little traditions to go to Disneyland on days that involve shots). I realized I have to make his 6 month appointment in a few weeks, so I better post this NOW :) Eli is rolling all over the place, not crawling but scooting. He can't sit up by himself yet and he is much more comfortable on his tummy. We have moved him to his big boy car seat, which he is a bigger fan of. His first tooth came in a few weeks ago...YAY! We have tried rice cereal and plan to start solids in the next few weeks. I am pumped he has a tooth, the earlier they can eat kid food (and feed themselves) the better! Eli loves tummy time, his exersaucer, the ergo, and playing with his brothers. He is super easy going and he loves to smile. We love you Baby Eli!

Nate is the Big Brother! As the oldest he sets an amazing example for Benny and Eli. This little boy loves people and loves getting out. The first thing he asks me each day is where are we going and who is going to be there. He does not have a lazy bone in his body...he is a very hard worker. He can be very serious and shy at times, but when he is in his silly mood this boy can laugh forever! Nate has a very kind heart and is quick to think of others, very intuitive for a four year old. His favorite colors are green and red. When he grows up he wants to be a Daddy and Woody from Toy Story.

Benny is Mr. personality....you can tell he is the second child. He is very easy going about so many things, but he definitely has an opinion. He is great at sharing and he loves playing with others. Benny also enjoys his alone time and can entertain himself for a long time. He has a little crazy streak in him. This mixed with his ability to charm makes it very hard to get mad at him. Benny can make anyone laugh. He makes every activity entertaining. This little boy can melt your heart! He loves cars, dinosaurs, monster trucks, and painting (most of the time on himself). He looks up to Nate so much and wants to do everything he can do.

Little Eli is the youngest of our three boys. He is just such a sweet little guy. He wants to keep up with his older brothers more than anything. He is always following them around the house or play ground. He loves balls of any type and is quick to point them out and say "BALL". He loves to sing and dance, he has some very impressive moves. He could sleep anywhere and we haven't found a loud noise that scares him yet. Mr. Eli is very attached to his Mama. He is also my best eater, this boy will eat almost anything.
