Eli can Crawl! Check it out!

Hey Everyone! Its official. Eli can now crawl..... He was making several attempts over the last few weeks and on Thursday he finally did it! We were so excited. I tried to get a video up here sooner to show everyone, but we were having issuses with Cableone and did not have internet. But its all fixed now. Eli is growing so fast. He is getting teeth like no other, last time we looked he had 4 on the bottom and 2 on the top but those other 2 are trying to come through on the top. BUT, it also looks like more are going to be though on the top in the near future. Check out the video of Eli. He also does this "clap hands" trick that you will see at the end!

Jasmine is still selling Mary Kay. She did her 1st order the other day for about $300. So thanks to everyone that is supporting her and if anyone wants to buy anything let her know. She has a website but I am not sure what it is... So if you want to know any information about it just email us fergusonfamily3@cableone.net or you can call us. But we have new cell phone numbers so email us if you dont have that number. Jasmine is going to have a Mary Kay party on July 10th @ 6pm. So please let her know if you want to attend so she can make sure that she has room for everybody!

We are getting ready to go to Colorado this 4th of July weekend. Jasmine has a good friend that is getting married on the 3rd. It will be about an 8 hour drive from Idaho Falls, should be interesting as this will be Eli's 1st Vacation! The farthest we have ever taken him is to SLC which is only about 3 hours, so this will definatly be an adventure. He does enjoy the car rides though, so I am hoping that he will do good! Any tips let us know!!!!

Well thats all for now!

Until Next Time

Quick Update

Eli has just turned 8months old and he has 8 teeth, 4 on the top and on the bottom. We think that he has another one coming through be we dont really know for sure yet, I guess we will find out within the next few weeks..
He has just started to try and crawl forward so hopefully by the time he is 9 months old he will be able to crawl. He also knows how to sit up on his own as well so we had to move his bed down so that it would be lower so that way if he sits up and tries to stand up he will be fine..

Jasmine has signed up to sell Mary Kay so if there is anyone that would like to buy it they can buy it off her. You can look at the catalog online to see what you want and you can give her a call and she will send it to you. She has to find 24 people to buy $24 because she is just starting right now.

Sorry its been so long...

Sorry it has taken us so long to post updates for you. Here is a little slide of Eli from the last few days. He is trying to start crawling and he still loves bath time so I added a few pics from bath time!

Eli has grown so much. He has 3 teeth on the bottom and 3 more coming through. 1 on the bottom and he is getting his 2 front teeth (thought you were supposed to wait for x-mas before you got those...... ;-) He has started trying to crawl over the last few weeks so I dont think that it will take long before he does it! He is pretty determined when he is down on the floor! He recently got over a nasty infection. It is called Hand, Mouth and Foot. It is something that they can get pretty easy by coming in contact with saliva from others carrying the same thing. They develop cold sores in their throat and a fever, so it makes it hard for them to eat. On top of that there is nothing the doctors can give them because it is a bacterial infection. It took him a few days and he got over it! We learned the lesson to make sure that his toys are clean and to make sure when we go out to places that he does not put his mouth on things such as shopping carts, church benches, phones, etc. But he is a trooper and is doing great now! He is sleeping pretty good through the night when he isnt teething!!

Jasmine and I are doing good. Jasmine has started to babysit during the week and still works at Chuck a Rama on the weekends. So she keeps busy. She is babysitting a 3 year old so it is giving both of us alot of future notice on what to expect! He is good though! I am still working hard at Wells. (If anyone from work reads this, they can vouch for me RIGHT!!!!!)

Summer is here and we are going camping next week. This will be Eli's 2nd time technically. The first time he did not make it through the night there and I had to go pick them up, so we will try it again and see how it works. I will post pictures when we get back!

Until next time!!!

New Bath and Car Seat!

Well... Thanks to Grandma Pam, Eli has a new Bath!!!!!

He loves it. Now he can sit up like a big boy in the bath but when he splashes he gets water in his face and he is not so sure about that!!! But he is definatley enjoying the tub! Now we just need to get him some little toys that we can put in there with him. We also decided to get him a new car seat.......We took him for a little ride and he was not quite sure about it! He was screaming alot, but I think that was really because he was just being a cranky butt!!! When we got home, we put him in bed!!!!

Jasmine has applied to work at a daycare here in town. She is really hoping to get the job. She would be able to take Eli there with no cost and have weekends off! So keep your fingers crossed for her! Everything is the same for me at work, just working hard and getting paid! Something I am very grateful at this time when jobs are tough to get. I am grateful that I work for a great company that values their employees!

We are still trying to teach Eli to crawl. It is not going as fast as we would like but he is getting there. He finally got up on his knees yesterday (Saturday). He scoots backwards really good!!! But not-so-much going forward... Like everyone tells me, I need to have patience!!

New Chair!

We bought Eli a new "Big Boy Chair" ha ha for the table. We just put him in it for the 1st time and I had to take a picture and show everyone.

As you can see he is very happy in the new chair!!!!

Here he is trying to get some of his Graduate snacks.

As usual. Until Next Time

Love you All

Update!

Well it has been a long time since we blogged last. Sorry, we are bad at remembering passwords. We are constantly changing this blog password because we always forget. But enough about how "dumb" we are!!! Eli just had his 6 month birthday!

He is growing so fast and getting big! He weighs 18.10 pounds and he is 27 1/2 inches long. He is sitting up by himself really good now and we are trying to teach him to crawl! Not going so well, but someday! He still has just two teeth.

This is Eli's new favorite toy! It is a 2-1 Shopping Cart Cover as well as a Tummy Time Mat. Thanks to Grandma Pam! He loves playing with all the little toys that came with it and now when we go to the grocery store he loves sitting up like a "Big Boy" and checking out the world. Eli really enjoys going out into the world! He is definatley like his dad and is a people watcher!

Here are a few more pics from the last few months!

Eli and his new friend Jedadiah! They are both the same age!

Eli in his walker!

Eli playing with all his toys and havin' fun in the walker!

Eli and 1 of his WONDERFUL smiles that we cant get enough of!

Eli is starting to be more active and enjoying life! We will continue to take pictures and "try" to get them up here a lot faster than we have!

Until next time!

Teeth

On Sunday March 1st, Eli's first tooth started to come through and then on the 3rd his 2nd tooth started to come through. He now has his bottom 2 teeth coming through. He has been a grumpy little boy but it is understandable..
He is growing up really fast but it is alot of fun to see him learn new things and figure out how to do certain things.
Well just wanted to leave a quick note
