Helping and More From the Zoo

Eli is such a great helper. Taking his diapers out of the dryer is so much fun. His help will be much appreciated when his little sister comes along and there are twice as many diapers to wash. Yes, you read that right, we found out yesterday that Eli is going to have a sister to tease, cut her hair and all the other fun things that brothers do to sisters.


We made another trip to the zoo. Eli took his first ride on the carousel. He didn't know what to think. He didn't cry, but he didn't smile either, which is a sign of botherment for Eli. Maybe he was just too hot and tired to enjoy it. Or the up and down and round and round was making him queasy.


Eli clapping. By the way, Eli had his doctors appointment today and when they sat him down on the scale and read his weight, he got excited and clapped. I think he must be one of the few people around who claps when he gets on a scale. He's just a little over 19 pounds now. Oh, and he didn't cry for his shot or finger prick.
