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.

Tummy time is GREAT for them. That's how Will began to crawl. It's amazing how quickly they learn all these things (eating from a spoon, rolling over, sitting up, crawling, cruising, walking). By a year he will be so good at rolling over, eating from a spoon, sitting up, crawling. It's so cool to see them master all these skills by themselves. You can't help but be so proud of them. God Bless you - Eli & Kellie!!

Love, Ana
 
Pretty soon he'll be the acrobatic spoon weilding ninja master and rice cereal will fear him through the ages! In some cultures, it's an honor to mother a spoon ninja.

Kellie,

Your writings are so inspirational! You have an incredible witness through your blog recordings! God is using you and your testimony in awesome ways! I admire the strength and courage you have in the Lord!

Eli is so much bigger since the last time we saw him! He's a very handsome baby! Congrats on the new accomplishments! He's made some big strides in the last few days...rollin' over and eating off of a spoon! Go, Eli!

Kellie, know that you are missed and thought of often! I pray for you whenever I think of you! You have made such a great impact on my life!

Your Sister In Christ,
Jennifer Bruce
