This goofball is 4 months old today. After an exhausting day of watching the movers, he's settling in to his new digs and his very own room!

Big boy at the table

Pic 1: Somebody's excited to be at the table with the rest of the family!
Pic 2: Or is he?
Pic 3: He took matters into his own hands when we didn't give him any of our salmon or broccoli.

What a difference a week makes!

What a difference a week makes! Last week at this time E was in the middle of the world's most terrifying crying jag and we were hours away from a desperate rush to the ER. Although the doctors were never able to pinpoint the cause of his outburst, I'm convinced that it was his body trying to alert us to the fact that he NEEDED MORE FOOD. Within 24 hours of starting to supplement with formula, our previously labeled "High Needs Baby" turned into a pleasant, easy-going, smiling and cooing little dude. He's napping well, he's processing dairy just fine, and he's dropped his level of hatred for the carseat down to manageable levels. Although I've got lingering guilt that we didn't discover this problem sooner (as well as some minor feelings of inadequacy about my milk supply), I'm so glad we finally figured out what was going on and that it had such a simple solution.

For exercise today I decided to weed for 2 hours. Colonel Fussbottom grudgingly agreed to nap for that same length of time. #suburbanlife #babyonmydoorstep #gonnabesoretomorrow

While everyone else shared a Chinese food picnic in the bay window, Elliot caught up on his missed sleep from the day.
