100!

This is my 100th post. Pretty exciting. I think I'll probably get to 200 faster than I got here. Have you noticed I've been blogging a lot more lately? It's been fun for me. And it probably has a little something to do with the topic of my previous post - Eli sleeping better. :)

Today is also special because Eli is 5 months! That's almost 6 months, and 6 months sounds old. 6 months sounds like sitting up, and rolling all over and getting close to crawling. Yikes! But at 5 months I'm still safe...so far.

I must say I am loving this phase of Eli's life. I love his curiosity and his fascination with everything in the world. He wants to touch and feel EVERYTHING! I have to hang on pretty firmly when I'm holding him because he dives for things now. (Ooh, something shiny/dull/colorful/bland/new/old/okay,anything! I MUST touch it!!!) It's really fun. And he is so happy and playful now. We love hearing his cute giggles and seeing his handsome smile. One of my favorite things is when I'm nursing him and he all of a sudden stops, looks up at me, and flashes a big smile. Love it! It's things like that that make me so happy I'm a stay-at-home mom. It's the best. So here are a couple pictures of our handsome explorer.
Going after the toys. He always wants whatever is just out of his reach.

Sarah you are inspirational! I love how happy you are being a mom. I am so happy you have such a darling sweet little baby boy. Being a mom is truly the BEST!

What a cutie patootie!! I love that age, too. Sleeping through the night, interested in the world, but not too mobile. Perfect :)

It is nice when babies are still content to be relatively immobile, because once they start to crawl, you can't take your eyes off of them for a second!

I am glad that you have been blogging more whatever the reason! I can't believe he is 5 months old.

Congrats on your 100th Blog! I've just read the most recent 10. I've really gotten behind! Your blog is such a great way to keep up with you guys.

Lillie was talking to the picture of Eli in the sidebar. He's such a sweetie. I'm glad that sleeping is going better for you both.

Love to you all!
