I still don't have my cameras unpacked. I have been getting by with the iPhone for now. I feel like I will be unpacking forever. I get very little done during the days between Sean's therapies and Eli's constant need for attention. Eli was teething for about 10 days and during that time demanded I be with him at all times. He finally popped out his two top teeth and then started working on the 4 teeth that flank the front teeth. He has 5 teeth through the gum now and 3 more very close.
If you had asked me a week ago if Eli was crawling, I would have said no. If you had asked me if he was sitting, I would have said no. If you had asked me if he was eating much in the way of solids, again the answer would have been no. Now, this week, it's a whole other story. He is now Army crawling with some regular crawling sprinkled in and he can get himself into a sitting position. He can't get enough of the solids and prefers very chunky textures. I think I will be trying some table food soon, like mushed bananas and veggies off my plate. Of course not all milestones are created equal. If you had asked me last weekend if Eli had ever pooped in the bathtub, the answer would have been no. Alas, that is no longer true.
(I just realized as I typed this that the phrase is "whole other story," but if I was talking, it would have come out "whole nother story." "Nother" is not a word. I need to remember that.)
Sean is doing well. School ends in a few weeks and unfortunately, budget cuts mean no summer programs. I am registering him in the new school system and maybe they will have something for him. If not, we will have to find some private speech therapy to get him through to the fall semester.
Here are some photos taken over the last 2 weeks. The boys are watching "Baby Signing Time" together and jumping in Sean's bed together. Two of them are of Sean helping me, one with the stroller while shopping and the other one with the unpacking. He and Eli both "helped" me unpack their stuff.
