Lack of sleep at Casa del lunes

We're getting re-adjusted to my work schedule now, but it hasn't been easy. Eli is FINALLY taking a bottle. My mom has to distract him a bit with Sesame Street videos, but it works and he's eating and starting to nap better, too. His sleeping through the night has stopped now, but I have a feeling he'll get back on track pretty soon. I am so very tired. It feels similar to those first couple of weeks after he was born. Half the time I feel like a zombie. Today was a little better, though. He woke up a couple of times during the night, but he didn't wake up for the day until about 9. I can handle that. All these books and websites say he should be on a strict schedule, but I don't know how to make that happen. I guess I'm a bad mom. Whatever.

My dear friend Amber came to visit today with her little girl who is 2. It was so much fun to watch the little ones interact. Eli stared at her like crazy, and he couldn't stop smiling. I think they are going to be good friends.

It's hard to believe that he will be as big as she is in less than 2 years!
