But, little Eli, you've changed things for the better. Even though right now mommy and daddy are stuck at home, and mommy can't eat all of her favorite foods (lest you get fussy or gassy because of the garlic or spicy chili that daddy made), we are very happy.
You are so precious when you sleep - your facial expressions are priceless. Your little hands and feet are so cute I could just gobble them up. And those cheeks?? forget about it!
We've been staying up late at night, trying to figure out how to console you. It seems like just about the time daddy gets home from work, you decide to get fussy. I am sure it's gas causing the fussiness, or sometimes hunger (oh, man, can you eat). It's hard for me to deal with the crying, because I feel responsible for the gas - was it something I ate?? Did I not get that one last burp out during your lunchtime feeding? What about that diaper rash? I am sure it's gotta hurt...
Tuesday, Daddy and I took you with us to vote. You slept the whole time. But, at least we can tell you a few years down the line that you were there on that historic day. You were a part of the change to come.
It's hard to believe it's been a month - some days it feels like just yesterday I was in that hospital bed, others it seems like you've been with us much longer. I am so anxious to see you meet all of the milestones ahead of us - the first smile, crawling, walking and talking. I better just love you up and soak it all in while I have the chance.
Love,
mommy

Love the pictures! And your comments are so true, and bring back lots of memories! Can it really be 21 years since I(we) were there? Love to you all! Aunt Judy (& Uncle Bruce)
Everything you said was true. It all seems to go so fast, and yes we love him no matter what! Even when he is ornery....hehe
