he is a gift to us

eli has 7 teeth. he sits up. he eats finger foods. he brightens up a room with his smile. he, like all of them, is a gift to us.

someone asked me how old he was a few days ago. i told them that he was 6 months old. jon reminded me later that eli is actually nearing 8 months.

oops.

i think i'll be doing that to him for the rest of his life.
