Eli is getting so big! He goes to the doctor next week, so we'll have an official height and weight then, but on a friend's scale he weighed 16 pounds! I think his head looks significantly bigger, and Josh just says he's getting the "Forsythe head", as demonstrated below. None of his infant hats fit anymore, just the couple of toddler/child hats he has. His neck rolls are so deep I'm starting to feel sorry for the skin; they don't every see daylight... or air. :)
Playing with Dad!
Last weekend we went to Great-grandma's house, she still thinks he's pretty great. 'Cause he is!

tries to get him to look at her instead of Abby! |

| He likes books, so cards are about the same... |

I'm not sure what that 'surprised'
face is about, but he's got it down! |
Eli is 4 months old this week, so it's time for monkey pictures! But first, here's a glimpse back over the last few months to see how much he has grown!
4 Months!
Next, Eli is teaching Mr. Monkey his new favorite game, 'Patty Cake'.
 |
| "So... I know this game..." |
 |
| "Hey! It's a good game, I promise" |
 |
| "First, you put your hands like this..." |
 |
"Yeah, this looks right... then, something
about 'patty' and an oven..." |
 |
| "and you roll it up..." |
 |
"and then... you have to taste it, you
know, just make sure it's right before
you put it in the oven" |
 |
"and then, sometimes you
have to take a nap" |
 |
| "it's okay to be tired, Monkey" *pat* *pat* |
 |
| "I'll hold your hand it you want" |
 |
| "oh, Mom saw us..." |
 |
"quick, pretend you're not here,
I'll hide you" |
 |
"What's up Mom? I was just hangin'...
by myself... no one else is here..." |
 |
| "Oh, you found him!" |
 |
| "Tricked you, didn't I?!" |
 |
| "No? Oh, well, I'll try better next time!" |
