Right Now - Eli 8 weeks

* you are smiling when belly full and diaper changed and not overtired!

* we are just beginning to have your cry it out due to you loving being held and not able to soothe yourself

* you are beginning to coo

* you stare at the wall of frames for quite a while and every so often you crack a big grin at some picture you see

* you notice Ian more and follow his voice

* you fluctuate drinking between 2.5 ounces and up to 5 ounces

* we are really working to have you on a 2.5-3.5 hr routine (mostly 3hr)

* your reflux comes in and out

* the colic symptoms are not soooo apparent as they were so we are not sure what it is that gets you that way

* you dear boy, are on the most expensive formula out there and too boot "bottled water" due to those colicy symptoms previously - I look forward to switching you once mid-January comes to make sure that we don't mess you up too badly

* you don't like riding in the car but usually will sleep for a while

* Mommy is anxious about starting work and hopes that you will catch on to the routine quickly and painlessly - I so want to enjoy you when I get home along with Ian

* you sort of rolled over during tummy time from your side to your back
