He can hear!

Eli failed his hearing tests on both ears when we were in the hospital. We were told that it wasn't anything to worry about b/c babies (especially those born by c-section) get crap in their ears in utero (that doesn't get squeezed out during the birthing process when one has a c-section). We had to have him re-tested. Today was the day, and he passed!

Other big news...His umbilical stump fell off (it took much longer for our Eli than for Aldo!). And Eli LOVES baths (or at least doesn't hate them and then passes out for hours afterwards - note made so that in the future we plan our own bedtime accordingly).

Here are pictures (including bathtime) so you can remember how cute he is and how big he's getting...

Love the blog Carey!! The pictures are great. Camryn's belly button was off in a week! Apparently, the alcohol that you are "supposed" to put on it actually makes it stay on longer. Our doctor said not to bother putting alcohol on it unless it looks icky. It never did and wahlah it was off in a week. Just something to remember for next time. :-)

We didn't even put alcohol on it; it was just very persistently stuck on there! Weird!
