The highlight of this week was Eli's 4-month visit to the pediatrician. Everything checked out normal (we even interpreted the sheet they gave us to be saying that his blowing of raspberries is slightly advanced for his age). The statistics, as always, were interesting. Eli is in the 45th percentile of 4 month olds for weight, 55th for height, and the 95th for head circumference. He's had an above-average head since he was born. We're not sure what that's about...do our families have a history of large-headed babies? We're simply taking it as early evidence of the Nobel Prize for Physics he's going to win in 2041.
We had our first warm day in a while on Wednesday (it got up to about 55), so Eli and mom spent some time out on the deck, enjoying the fresh air.
You can see the snow in the background...even on warm days, the snow is ubiquitous. The day after this, we got about 3 inches, and we're expecting more tomorrow. March is supposedly the snowiest month in Denver.
Eli conked out on our bed.
Eli playing on our bed with Finnegan and Wendell looking on warily. The only one of our cats that routinely associates with Eli is Obadiah...which leads us to the video below. You can see how much Obadiah likes hanging out with Eli. He's kind of like that good family dog that lets the kids ride him, even though it probably hurts. Eli grabs a fistful of fur, but Obadiah doesn't seem to mind. We only wish Obadiah would be more discerning about where he sticks his butt (see the end of the video). This morning Eli got into our bed at about 5; we woke up at about 7:30 with Eli awake and scratching Obadiah, and Obadiah licking Eli's face.

Maybe Obediah is so accepting is because he was born into a world of overhandling and tugging and pulling and passing by these Chandler chaps. :)
All along I thought Eli was the spitting image of Eric, but now there is proof in the second picture of you and Eli on the deck that Eli surely has his mother's eyes! How precious! Also, about the cat butt thing: I wake up very often with a kitty tail in my face. Not a pretty picture to wake up to! Kitties!!!! Would anybody like a kitty? We have plenty! ;) Love you!
