The day from.....well you know where!

Eli didn't feel good yesterday after the vaccinations. He was fine for a couple of hours, and then started fussing and crying. He never had a fever (I did check like 20 times), but I could tell that his legs hurt and who knows what else. No matter how I held him he acted like it hurt, so I basically sat by the bouncy seat all afternoon between feedings and changings holding in a pacifier :-) He sure was tired and cranky. At around 5 he was back to his normal self, which just so happened to be when Brandon comes home (he always lucks out). I don't know who cried more...Eli or me :-) Poor Brandon had to deal with a very drained exhausted me (but later I found gold earrings under my pillow that he hadn't given me yet....maybe I should have bad days more often)! Brandon got us both out of the house for a good walk along the river last night and it was refreshing. Today Elijah acts like nothing happened, and we've been having a lot of fun to make up for yesterday. I think we held a 30 minute cooing/smiling conversation. He's getting good at it. We think Eli is sort of laughing now. It's not very often, but once in a while he does this little laugh thing. I can't wait until it becomes an every day thing! He loves songs and anticipates the actions; it's so funny. He reacts to Peek-a-boo and Pat-a-cake now too. Today is very windy and chilly, so we're going to take our walk in the mall.
