So, I'm going to try to be brief in these posts, so that I can get them posted! Eli is almost 10 weeks and as I said in the last post, smiling up a storm! He loves watching Emrey dance and run around and just sits watching her, with a look of awe and a little bit of nervousness. Emrey continues to be very sweet with Eli, helping to rub his head or bounce his seat, if he's crying. She will often say "awww, that's okay, buddy"...which is what I tend to call him. As for sleep...well, Eli is not quite as great a sleeper as Emrey was...She was sleeping through the night by this time. Eli is still getting up 2-3 times on average per night. I've often wondered if he's not getting enough milk, so he needs to make up for it at night, but as you can see from the pictures, he's doing just fine! He weighed 12.04 oz when I weighed him at the hospital last week.
As for Emrey, she is a great big sister! Highlights on her...she received her first haircut this past week, and sat very still for me, with the aid of a lollipop, to keep her focused. She had another allergic reaction to something at mdo this week, so it looks like she may still be allergic to peanuts, although they didn't see what she ate? A little benadryl calmed it down, but she still looked puffy when I picked her up! Of note, we had a "goodbye party" for Emrey's nooks this past week. She had a cupcake and we sang Happy Birthday Emrey, and then put all her nooks in a box, explained that she didn't need them anymore, because she is a big girl and then had her throw them out. She seemed fine with it all, until we went to go to sleep that night :( Overall, she's done well with the change, she just tends to talk for a while before going to bed, since there is nothing in her mouth!
