Hello to all! It's Matt; I'm finally contributing to the authorship of this blog dedicated to our Little Man; Eli. It has been a while since we have posted and as most of you already know Eli had to have surgery for sagittal craniosynostosis in San Antonio, Texas in September so we took a little sabbatical from the blog. It went as well as could be expected and the outcome is excellent to say the least. He was back to normal within about 5 days. We are all looking forward to seeing many of you soon for his baptism in New Jersey in November. Anyway, enough of the exposition. On to the pictures!
Here is little man, or Easy-E as one of my friends has dubbed him, with his favorite toy, The Pony which Aunt Julie gave him. Aunt Julie has threatened to buy him a real pony and I'm frightened because she has a reputation of following through on her threats. Whenever we make a galloping sound he starts giggling.
Eli at the gym. He loves this thing. He is rolling over, grabbing toys and doing all of the expected baby stuff he is supposed to be doing.
"Well, did you take two aspirin like I told you to?"
The Grandparents bestowed this onesie upon us. It's cute; we will see how the healthcare system pans out before Eli commits. Anyway, he can be whatever he wants.
Ugh! There is daddy with that blasted flasher thing again! Can't he see I'm busy?
Larry (Terry's father) was kind enough to meet us in Texas to help out during Eli's surgery. Most of you know him. As Terry's family knows, this is a common position. It looks like he has a loose grip on that remote but only a rookie wouldn't know better...
Despite his relaxed look in this photo, he was very supportive in Texas and we are grateful he was there!
Daddy and Eli at the pumpkin patch. Eli was mostly unimpressed but Daddy and Mommy wandered around eating roasted corn, fresh apple pie with fresh ice cream and wandered around in hay-mazes for hours. You can also see Eli's helmet which he wears for 23 hours a day for the next year. Built in protection for the upcoming toddling which is sure to come soon.
And here is our first attempt to post a video. Notice the silly voice and meaningless phrases I use to get him to smile. Terry chose this video for a few reasons. One, it shows Eli and his precocious navigation of the Exersaucer (I call it the Parents-Can-Eat-Together-Now Saucer). Two, it makes me look stupid with all my silly baby-talk. Three, you can see where his scars are. Actually what you are seeing is Dermabond which has since fallen off. It covers the incision and makes sure it stays together. Anyway, you can barely see the incisions now but we thought we would show y'all.
We will try and post again soon as he is growing and changing rapidly! Hope everyone is having a fantastic fall!
