Eli is 3 months old!

Eli will officially be 12 weeks old on Saturday! Man has time flown by! It seems like just yesterday Dustin and I brought home a tiny little guy who just wanted to sleep and eat. Now we have a 3 month old with his own little personality and his own ideas on how and when things should be done! Eli loves to play with his toys, and his favorite friend is his cheetah Sam. His favorite game is peek-a-boo, although I think that he likes hiding more than peeking and he usually tries to hold the blanket over his face. He thinks that he is very funny when he does this! He LOVES to talk and the only time that he isn't is when he is asleep, and even then he snores! LOL He likes to laugh and although I wouldn't call the noise that he makes a giggle quite yet, we can tell that that is what he is trying to do. Eli has recently discovered he feet and loves to grab them and attempt to roll himself over while still holding on to them. He hasn't rolled over yet, but he has figured out how to kick one foot at a time and turn himself around in his bed. He now likes to lay sideways in his bed instead of long ways! He loves to get baths and Dustin and I are convinced that he is going to be an olympic swimmer! Best of all he loves to smile and he does it all the time! There is nothing better than waking up in the morning and hearing his happy chatter in his bed, and then going over to say good morning and being greeted by a huge smile and happy screech! That definately makes all the nasty diapers and crying tantrums seem insignifigant! Dustin and I feel very lucky to have been blessed with such a beautiful little boy! Eli brings my life pure joy, and I am very thankful for that!
