Just Shy of 8 Months

I seriously cannot believe how fast time is going. Eli will be 8 months in a little over a week and that just blows my mind. I spent today putting up the Christmas tree and decorations and even though he was sitting there watching me while he played I think it really hit me when I put his stocking up - we get to have Christmas as a family of THREE this year!! He is SUCH a happy and laid back little boy and he is growing like a weed. He had his first sickness this past week (an ear infection) and at his doctors appointment he weighed 21 pounds 10 ounces - yikes! He is getting chubbier and chubbier since he is content not crawling and just laying or sitting and playing and rolling around if he wants something, but he is still really active. He is the absolute joy of my life, even in his most trying moments. This is going to be one heck of a Christmas!!
