Rice somersaults
Wow, I was checking email and Eli was lying on the bed next to me. He was having "tummy time" which is just what is sounds like- time playing on his tummy. Eli Doesn't like tummy time so much at all. He doesn't really know what to do with himself.
Well, just now- today- he ROLLED OVER for the very first time in his entire life, well that is only 5 1/2 months!
So yeah I know he's not doing somersaults yet- but it's not going to be long till he can. Wow my little boy can roll over now- that is a big mobility milestone!
The other big first with Eli Jones is that he ate off of a spoon for the first time in his life yesterday. I just now started feeding him Rice Cereal mixed with my breastmilk. He wasn't too sure how to handle the whole process, but being 100% boy, he loved the fact that he got to get all messy. He had the rice cereal all over him! I am still cleaning it out of the creases in his neck- silly boy. It is fun entering this whole new stage with him. He is changing so much everyday. I know it isn't long before he is sitting up too.
Eli gives me such a big reason to smile really big, especially when he decides to smile really big! What a blessing! Thank you Eli Jones for being my son- you're the best.
