Eli at 4 months

I can't believe it but Elijah Richard is already 4 months old. He is a doll. Still a little fussy at times especially in the car which is so funny to me since he used to love the car. In fact, in the mornings when we take the kids to school, he is so happy until Michal Kate, who sits next to him, gets out of the car, then he just screams. He is a cuddler and loves to smile. When you lie him on his back he just kicks away. He isn't rolling over yet, but he is trying so I don't think it will be long. He loves his brown blanket that his Aunt Tracy gave him and likes it right up by his face to go to sleep. He is still trying to suck his fist/fingers, and I am still thrusting a happy (paci) in his mouth every time. He is a big boy weighing in at 13 lbs 8 oz last week so we are already working our way into 3-6 month clothes!
Here he is with his bear and sign.
I finally got a real smile caught on camera.
A little smirk
Loving his monkey!
And yes, as the title lets you know, I spend a lot of time calling him Eli these days or chunky monkey!
