It's time

for a new post. I am in Utah right now and am completely enjoying myself. I love seeing family everyday. It is SUCH a luxury to have grandma's and grandpa's and cousins and aunts and uncles.............*sigh* Do you realize how awesome it is to go to family's houses for dinners and or visits on a regular basis? Do you realize how cool and relaxing it is to break the monotony? Oh man, I went to the store WITHOUT my kids IN THE MIDDLE of the day! Thank you grandma. Oh how I wish I could be around here more often. No paying babysitters and I get teeny breaks....I love it.

I don't have my camera with me, so this will be a text only post. Eli is now 3 months old. At his 2 month doctor visit he weighed 15 pounds 5 ounces (95 %ile) and was 23 inches (75%ile). He is about 17 pounds now at 3 months. He wears 6 month sizes now......*sigh again. He is the cutest baby in the world and he'll be in the NFL someday..... I hope all you mothers are gasping at the weight of my child. He started at 9lb 3 ounces remember.

Here's a good story: My sister is in the coordinated dietetics program at Utah State (someone else really cool went through the same program a few years ago). Sis was at clinicals when Eli was born, so she was updated via text message. When she told her fellow clinicalling classmates the news of Eli's arrival (she was really just telling the preceptors because they are my friends), one horrible bratty student said this in response to my son's size "oh my gosh! Did your sister have like, gestational diabetes?" I wish so badly that I could meet said girl, and tell her that I am a dietitian and that she is not (yet), and that no I was NOT diseased. My son was just a big adorable healthy baby!

Oh how I love my Eli. He never cries. He coos a lot. He smiles all the time. He only nurses (so, bah to my theory that Logan's size came from formula). He sleeps at night (thank you prevacid). He kicks like a frog in the bath tub and could stay in there all day. He completes our family!
