Leaving Mommy and Eli home alone!
Dave started back at work this week, but I think the 2 of us were able to get a handle on this little guy first. Yesterday was the first day I was alone with him, and things went really well. I was able to take a shower (thank you vibrating bouncy chair), and Eli let me give him a bath...and by "let me" I mean he screamed and cried through the whole thing! It's not one of his favorite activities.
We had a play-date with our neighbors, too. We went for a nice walk around the neighborhood, and then had lunch (thank you, Betsy). Lauren (she's 1) was very interested in Eli...I hope they will be good friends.
Today I started pumping breastmilk (sorry if this grosses anyone out). If I didn't feel like a dairy cow before, I sure do now! The things we do for our kids...right? Eli and I will also be trying our first solo car trip today to the farmer's market. He did really well last week, so I'm hoping for a repeat performance!
As for sleeping, he's been doing really well. We've been keeping him awake in the evenings, and last night he let me get 3 straight hours of sleep. Mommy was VERY happy!
That's all for now. We are eagerly awaiting the arrival of Auntie Lisa on Thursday night! We'll give another update in a few days.

Michele,
I am glad to see that you are all doing well. While some of the comments were a little graphic, it's all part of motherhood. Thanks for setting up the blog.
