5 months old

Happy Thanksgiving!  We managed to survive five days of travel with mostly good spirits.  David and I both had Thursday through Sunday off, so it was a great chance to go back to Indianapolis and spend lots of quality time with our families.  Eliana was extremely excited to see both sets of grandparents.  We left Columbus Wednesday afternoon and came back on Sunday.  It was a really nice trip with Eliana behaving pretty well despite the lack of napping.  Right up until our drive home Sunday afternoon.  By that point she was very overtired.  I was hoping that would mean she would pass out as soon as the van hit the road.  Instead, she was so tired that she cried the entire ride home.  Anything I tried to give her to entertain her, she threw on the floor.  She said she was hungry, so we got some fast food.  Eliana then proceeded to throw her food on the floor.  It was a great trip.  :)  After a really long nap yesterday and sleeping in today, I think we are FINALLY getting back to normal.  Boy, it takes Eliana a long time to recover from vacation!  William, well, what can I say?  He is so calm and easy going.  He says, "So my naps got thrown off?  So what?  I'm still the happiest baby you will ever meet.  Nothing can shake me."  He is just about perfect.  He even managed to sleep through Eliana crying in the van, and sleep through several night of her crying as she went to bed.  He is the best baby!

And now he is five months old!  According to the ol' bathroom scale, he is 18lbs!  So as not to be shown up by his big sister, William also got his first tooth two days before he turned 5 months old.


This is what William always looks like - sucking on his middle two fingers

Eliana hates for William to be lonely



I just love how they are looking so intently at each other.  William loves his big sister so much.  He watches her every move and she can make him laugh so easily.

This is also how William always looks.  He loves chewing on his feet!  I think the cloth diaper get in the way and prevent him from pulling them up to his mouth.  But as soon as diaper change starts, he gets those feet up in the air and then the toes go in the mouth.


Check it out - a tooth!

This is how I found the kids this morning.  Eliana told me that she had put a skunk scarf on William (it was leftover from his skunk costume).  He is also surrounded by medical equipment because he was "very sick".  Luckily Eliana is a doctor so she fixed him with a bandaid.
