Well it only took me three months to get this started! I have some catching up to do I guess! Eli is now three months old, weights 15+ pounds and is 26 inches long. Has had many firsts in the last three months first Halloween and Thanksgiving , first smiles, and first laughs! The picture at the top of the blog is one from his three month set of pictures. As you can see he is a pro at making spit bubbles and slobbering!! It is hard work!! I have many more photos that I will add when I get more time ha ha! I can honestly say that being a mom is the most challenging job I have ever had but also the most rewarding! One of my former interns from the animal park asked me today which was easier zookeeping or being a mom. I would definitely have to say zookeeping! They are similar in some ways with respect to feeding and cleaning up after them, but I can't put Eli into a shift stall or cage and leave him there for the night like I could with the animals I used to take care of!! Sorry if you are not a zoo person that was probably not a funny joke! More to come hope you enjoy.........................!

Dear Jess, Josh and Baby Eli!!
What a beautiful baby boy you are Eli!!!! ... So full of life and so much yet to show your wonderful parents... Babies are truly a blessing in our lives... I am glad Luca's blog sort of inspired you to create one for Eli... it's really a great way to keep people in touch... In our case it's been working perfectly since we have family and friends ALL over the world literally... We are also shocked to see how much we are bringing people so close to Luca even though they never met him...it's amazing really... Please keep adding pictures... I know, it's hard, I normally do it between 9pm-12am...eheheh, that's when I get a break...eheh... Enjoy your precious boy and every moment with him.... it all passes sooo fast!! Love always, Heloisa Santospirito & Family
