What We Know Now...

So, Elijah is only 3 weeks and 2 days old, but there are some things that Andy and I know about him already. Since he had such an interesting arrival, we are just hitting the 1 week mark of Eli being home and are still trying to figure things out as new parents. I'm sure just as I post this-and admit to "knowing" stuff about him, everything will change just to throw us off and keep us on our toes. Every day is a new day and a new stage in Eli's life-therefore we as parents continue to learn learn learn! Oh how we love him.



1. He likes to be called Elijah, Burrito, Eli, Sumo, Ewok, Bubba, E-bug, Goober or Goobs. Don't ask how we know, WE know (because we're the parents!)



2. He hates to sit in a dirty diaper.



3. When he sneezes 2 or 3 times in a row, he coos after!



4. When he burps (sitting up style) he raises his right arm straight into the air.



5. He loves the pacifier (Fa-fa)



6. The only thing he really knows and can remember...is how to eat.



7. He is soothed by singing and having his forehead rubbed (his favorite songs are twinkle twinkle, you are my sunshine, eli had a little dog and ABC's).

8. Elijah's fussy time is from 9-12 at night. There is no getting around it. It is what it is.



The list will continue to grow day-to- day-to- day-to -day.
