Milestones

Our little man rolled over from his back to his tummy last night! Granted he was in the middle of a monster of a tantrum and probably didn't mean to do that, but he did so I'm counting it ;-). He started rolling from his tummy to his back at two weeks, but this way is supposed to be a bit harder. He was completely over-tired last night and would start crying anytime we put him down. Finally we realized that it was time for the dreaded "cry it out" method. Luckily it only took him about ten minutes to cry himself to sleep, but it was a pretty long 10 minutes :(. Listening to your baby cry inconsolably is just about the worst thing I can imagine. We got through it though! I'm just hoping we don't have to do it again!

How cute is he!

A few weeks ago we had a super fun playdate with Sarah and Zoe and Sara and Savannah. Eli seemed to really enjoy being surrounded by all the girls ;-) It was so much fun to spend time with everyone and to watch the girls play together. Can't wait for more!

The kids :-)

So mad!

Our Big Outing

While daddy was on travel this past week, the little man and I made our first trek into San Francisco. We drove into the city and had lunch with some of my girlfriends that I used to work with at the Academy of Art. They all loved him of course :-) We then made our way over to the Marina district to visit Uncle Adam. It was a beautiful day and so we spent several hours just strolling up and down Union Street checking out the little boutiques and just enjoying our time together. Adam even put himself in charge of the stroller. He has now become an expert on many things baby :-) He is a natural with his little nephew and it's so fun to see them together. Although I will say when it came to poopy baby diapers Adam and his roommate Jesse stayed all the way on the other side of the room. Adam did offer to take it to the trash chute, but he held out a plastic as far from his body as he could :-) We will definitely be making another visit soon!

Hello Sunshine!

The sun has finally decided to make an appearance again! We have been taking advantage and spending Eli's mid morning nap outside walking. He gets bundled up in the bassinet attachment of his stroller and we head out. It's been so nice to be able to get outside and breath the fresh air. I know that we need the rain, but oh how I love the sunshine! :-)

Family Outings

Have I mentioned that we have the best baby in the world? Well if I haven't...we do :-) Yesterday we took our first all day family outing and he was a dream. We decided to visit the new Coach Factory Store at the Great Mall in Milpitas (and when I say we, I mean I begged and Jason finally said yes :-)) and then met up with our good friends Jason and Kristen for lunch in San Jose. Our little angel made a few fussy sounds when he started to get hungry, but other than that not a negative peep - just lots of smiles! It's so nice to know that we are capable of rejoining the "real world" with an infant! The folks at work got us some gift certificates to restaurants around town, which is so incredibly nice! We used one the other night and it was great to be out and about (and not having to cook!). Once again, he was perfect! He actually slept through the entire meal. He made his first official appearance at church last weekend and got to meet his extended family, which was really great! I think we are slowly starting to get the hang of this parenting thing! And yes, I know I'm testing fate by saying that! haha
