A Semi-Update

I'm still working on getting Eli's birth story up, one of these days it will happen. In the meantime things have been going well here. We're all tired as can be expected with a newborn around, but overall we can't complain. Eli has been going for 5 hours between feedings once each night which is amazing! Now if I could just get to sleep right when he's done life would be good. Ari is slowly adjusting to having a baby around. She's having some attention issues but how much can you expect from someone who's 18 months old? This little lady has learned how to climb on the couch and whenever I start to feed Eli that's where she goes if dad's not around. Today she was not listening, like usual, and wouldn't get down or stop jumping. This lead to falling off the couch, hitting her head on the coffee table, and falling on the floor. She's fine but is going to have a black eye tomorrow. Did she learn from this...no, but I'll keep trying to keep her off the couch. It's really hard to move fast when you've got someone attached trying to eat.

My mom will be here on Monday for a week! I'm excited to have extra hands for a while. Plus on Monday I can drive again!!! I can't wait. Going to get her from the airport will be a trip, but somehow I'll manage.

Eli's umbilical stump fell off today and tomorrow he starts his first days in cloth diapers!! He's grown a bit so I don't think there will be any problems getting the diapers to fit. The little things that excite me.

So far things are still looking good for the house! Please keep praying that it works out.

And here's a picture of the kids
