We’re leaving for our cruise to the Bahama’s this Thursday! It’s a short cruise, only four days and three nights but it will be very nice to get away. Meri’s parents are flying in Wednesday and they are going to watch Aaron and Eli while we are gone. It’s super nice that they are able [...]

Aaron’s Eye Surgery

No comments

Aaron’s intermittent exotropia I discussed previously has been getting progressively worse. Meri and I have both been noticing that he is squinting more and more, even when he’s not outside in full sun and even when he’s wearing sunglasses.  Meri and I have had a bad feeling about what we both [pessimistically] thought would need [...]

Happy Father’s day

No comments

Today, my sleep-deprived wife made me a big breakfast when she woke up.  Aaron drew me a card and actually wrote several sentences in it!  It was one of the best cards I’ve ever received.  Meri got me a picture of my boys together and a picture of their hand prints. She also got me [...]

Eli weighs a ton!

No comments

Well, not literally a ton but he does weigh about 16 1/2 pounds! I don’t think Aaron weighed that much until he was about 8 months old. The biggest difference between Aaron and Eli’s weight is that Eli doesn’t spit up nearly as much as Aaron did. When Aaron was Eli’s age, he had acid [...]

Teeth!

No comments

Eli is cutting teeth and he’s only 11 weeks old. This has to be some kind of amazing baby record. He currently has the whites of two teeth showing and we can feel the bulge of a third tooth.

Week in review

No comments

We got back from our trip to mass. on Tuesday. The trip was like our normal trips, some fighting, some fun, more uncomfortable than anything really. We had Aaron’s birthday party on sunday, in mass. He had a lot of fun and got quite a few gifts. We had to mail ourselves a box full [...]

Aaron has been on a tear lately, since Monday (4/14/08) of this week. As of yesterday, 4/17/08, I have come home 3 of the last 4 days to him screaming at my wife. If you heard his screaming from out on the street (and you probably could), you would think this kid was completely out [...]

Eli is eight days old. After having him with us, I can’t help but wonder…why didn’t we do this sooner?! Seriously, this is great. Eli sleeps through the night (mostly, he might wake up twice), cries softly and is adorable too! It is wonderful to see Aaron interacting with him. Oh! Eli takes a pacifier! Do you know/understand [...]

Meri, Eli and I are back from the hospital. Eli was born on 3/12 at 11:36am. He is 9 lbs 5 oz and 21.5 inches tall. Eli slept very good last night. Meri was pushed for about 15 minutes and Eli was born. Meri made the delivery look easy (compared to Aaron’s delivery). Below are [...]

Heading to the hospital

No comments

It’s 11:05pm right now. We are leaving here in about 10 minutes to head up to the hospital. Aaron is upstairs, sleeping in his bed. We explained to him that we won’t be here in the morning (unless Eli pops out REALLY fast!) and that if he needed anything, his aunt is downstairs. He seemed [...]
