Why Eli is the best baby ever

OK, no disrespect to our eldest son, but Micah was really a challenging baby. Eli, on the other hand, is a "this is why people have babies" baby.
  • He is consistently sleeping through the night at 2 1/2 months old. We put him down at 10:30pm and go in to wake him up at 7am.
  • He smiles all the time. This includes while he's sleeping!
  • He nurses well. Really well.
  • He has "blown out" a diaper only once in his life.
  • He has never peed on me.
  • He puts up with lots of hugs and kisses from his clumsy big brother.
  • When it's time for a nap, all you have to do is swaddle him, put him in the crib while he's still awake, and walk away. He falls asleep on his own!
  • He doesn't need a pacifier to fall or stay asleep.
  • He loves to be held and looked at. He coos at everyone!
  • He is content to be in his bouncy seat or underneath a ceiling fan while Mommy showers in the morning.
  • Just look at this face! We are blessed by this baby!

What a sweet post! Drew was the same way - we are hoping for a repeat with #2!

Justice, our second, was the same, so much easier than Aedyn. Isn't it a wonder, and a relief?

Okay, I have to say it, I'm the grandma. "You are blessed with TWO great kids. Just different personalities!" Love ya all!
