Nov 18

If Eli could be right next to James all day he would. He cannot get enough of his brother right now. He is very good about just touching him on the head, hands or feet. Although he always has that look in his eye as if he could haul off and punch him any minute so we never leave Eli alone with him.

 Waiting for his Dad to get home from work...

 First injury with blood at our house. He hit his chin on the bathtub. There was definitely some good screaming involved.

 James enjoying bath time much more these days.

Eli has decided that a 6:30p bedtime is better for him than 8p. We did not disagree! A few days ago he was beyond tired and we put him down at 6:30. He has gone to bed that time every day since. And the best part is he still sleeps to 7a. We hope it continues! James goes down not long after that (but of course wakes up about 4 more times until morning). Its been so nice to have quiet evenings. We'll take it for as long as we can especially after the last couple months of bad, bad nights from Eli.

Sadly, we decided not to venture to AZ for Thanksgiving this year. Sleep deprivation + a 13 hour drive did not equal fun for us. And with Eli seeming to turn a corner now with his sleep, we do not want to ruin it. So we will cook a small turkey and then head to the mountains for the day. We hope to get our house decked out for Christmas over the long weekend and get some much needed projects done around the house.

Happy Thanksgiving!
