9 months old

Today Eli is nine months old! It is so crazy how fast time flies. I was just looking through the pictures of him when he was born and thinking about how far we have come. Ben, Eli, and I have had our ups and downs along the way but in the end we have become an amazing family.
I have asked Ben to contribute to the blog - which he didn't want to do but this is his quote "Eli is the man fo' shizzle" and " Eli threw up on me two times today - it was alot". Well I think that is enough from Ben.:)
Well here are some pics I took of him today. He new favorite thing to do it walk using his walker. He gets a little too confident sometimes and takes his hand off ( and then falls) but I think he is doing great.
I'm gonna sound cheesy for a minute- Eli brings so much joy to our lives. Ben and I can't wait to see what the next nine months, nine years, etc. etc. ( you get the picture) brings. We love him so much!!

Okay so once again it has been a very long time since I posted but I thought I would give you an update on our life. Things were very busy over the holidays. We had a wonderful first Hanukkah with Eli. Lots of family- as always and tons of busy days. He is changing so much every day I can't even keep up. His latest is that he never wants to sit anymore. Always wanting to stand. Definitely can't stand on his own yet but loves to hold on. He is such a funny guy.
The only frustrating part of our life right now is that we are losing our nanny AGAIN! I really hate the battle of childcare! IT is so hard to find someone that will stay with us. Our problem is that we only need someone one day a week. So hard- so if you know of anyone in Cincinnati that can help us please let us know. We lose our nanny at the end of this month. Okay here are just a few pics of him with his first Hanukkah
gift and some pics of him with his cousins when they were in town.
Hope everyone is doing well and keeping warm!
