Happy (belated) 3 month birthday, Eli!
For his birthday (see pic above of Eli in his birthday suit, RDRR!, with Aunt Tina blocking his bits and pieces - thanks, Aunt Tina, for giving him a bath!), Eli actually gave us a couple of treats:
1. The first middle of the night feedings for a while,
2. An incredibly crabby mood generally (note Eli in full red-faced screaming mode below*),
3. Lots of extra feedings,
4. 20 minutes non-stop SCREAMING in the car on the way to the grocery store, and
5. Extra laundry due to the most serious diaper blow-out to date, involving poop all over me and our couch.
We gave him:
1. Cow's milk (via breastmilk), b/c I am an idiot and didn't read a food label for the first time since I started this stupid dairy- and soy-free diet (this probably helps explain his incredibly crabby mood),
2. Extra feedings,
3. Lots of hugs accompanied by vacuum cleaner sounds, and
4. A few "what is wrong with you?!"s.
Here's hoping for a good 2nd quarter (and 3rd and 4th quarters) of his first year!
*Why do I keep looking over the top of my glasses like that? It is so annoying!

that last pic of him is just too precious :) happy bday,baby eli!!
The hysterics continue over here, as well. I'm pretty sure both our kids are going through the 3-month growth spurt, which typically includes all five of the "treats" you listed. I've had to cancel appointments because feedings are so close together, I can't get a moment away. Soooo tired...
I do love the bathtime pic!! Why is it that babies look so darn cute in the bathtub?
What fun I have to look forward to! You seem to be handling it all so well. And even when screaming, he is awfully cute.
No dairy or soy? Yikes! Rice milk? Regarding your glasses, I think your glasses are just too small. Need to go back to the 80s, or your family tradition...(huge sunglasses). He is adorable, even when screaming.
Yeah, no dairy? No soy? God bless you. I am not ready for motherhood and the sacrifices it requires. I will just look at the cute pics of Eli for now.
