Well Eli should win some award for having the longest ear infection. We're going on 3 weeks now! Basically he spent the entire month of April sick. He's been a trooper but you can tell it's getting to him. And who can blame him. Think I would be irritated too. We're on our 3rd antibiotic and it's so strong it upsets his tummy. So in addition to Tylenol every 4 hours, ear drops before eating and reflux medicine...we give him mylanta for his tummy. I feel so bad for him. He doesn't complain much and really just sleeps it off but you know he has to be thinking "am I ever going to feel better?". At least that's what I think.
Eli has recently discovered his hands and feet. It's the cutest thing. I don't remember that with Kevin. He studies them so much and just when I think he's asleep I find him watching his hands move and working on getting that thumb in his mouth. Yes! While he loves his paci he also enjoys putting fingers and thumb in his mouth. He drools like he's teething most days. Kevin cut 2 teeth at 4 months so I'm wondering if Eli will do the same.
Praying my next post is to announce his ears are clear and he's feeling better.

Ear infection go away!
Well I was back at the doctor with Eli yesterday. Apparently the antibiotic he was on didn't do a thing for his ear infection. Poor baby was so miserable and in so much pain. He's on a new antibiotic and ear drops. Didn't have a great night last night but was all smiles this morning. Hopefully he does good at daycare and takes more bottles today than yesterday. Our house needs sleep!

First ear infection
I took Eli to the doctor today and he has his first double ear infection! He's such a good baby I had no clue he was even sick - just been fighting a cough the last few weeks but it had gotten worse. Sure enough...his little ears were the culprit. He's starting his medicine tonight and should feel all better in a few days. Wonder if he'll continue sleeping through the night when he feels better? I sure hope so!

random pictures
Not much going on in Sasser Land! Just some updated pictures of the boys. Enjoyed some family time last weekend with my cousin Loriel and her kiddos, Delanee and Troy! It was great seeing them. Eli is growing like crazy and still a great baby. Kevin is well...Kevin - crazy, funny and non stop all the time. Never a quiet moment in our house. Enjoy the pictures!

12 weeks old
It is so hard to believe that Eli is already 12 weeks old! I think back to the little 6 pound baby I held in the hospital and then look at the chunky 13 pound baby I have now and it doesn’t even seem possible that time has gone by this fast. Eli is smiling and laughing so much now. Lately he has started to recognize Kevin’s voice and he looks for him in a room if he hears him. He thinks Kevin is so funny and will usually smile and coo for him more than he does for me!
Daycare is going great for Eli. He takes a good morning nap and then is awake for most of the day. I am pleased to announce that he has slept through the night the past 2 nights!!!! He eats around 10:30 or 11:00 and has slept until 5:30 or 6:00. That’s an awesome schedule for us….if it stays this way. Since this is not our first rodeo, I’m not holding my breath – babies have little minds of their own. We learned that quickly with Kevin.
Everything else is going good. I’m settling in to a good routine at night with the boys when Ben is working. Kevin is fascinated with the show Dino Dan so after bath he watches that before bed. That has definitely helped in my schedule and allows me some time to give Eli a bath or straighten up the house. With the nice weather we’ve been having, Kevin is also playing outside more…which is wearing him out…which equals a tired 3 year old that is ready for bed at 9:00! It’s great. I’m also getting about 6 hours of sleep each night. Not ideal but I know it could be worse.
It’s opening day for the Rangers today and I’m super excited that Ben and I get to go with my parents. Gail is picking up the boys and taking care of them until we get home. Go Rangers!!!!
