drool buckets crazy eye




I think its a catchy Indian name how about you? Eli has been soaking himself in drool lately. This week it has been ridiculous and I'm sure he is working on a tooth. He even got a little fever one day and has been "moody" to put it nicely. Also at this four month appointment we found out that Eli has "strabismus" Ok lets be real that is just the fancy medical term for a lazy eye so that new mommies don't panic that thier kid is going to be a school yard pirate freak. ( NO those thoughts did not go through my head....what kind of mother do you think I am?) I've come to the conclusion that we are really lucky they found it so early and he will be able to get treatment for it before it interferes with his vision. And how blessed we have been with such a healthy little bean that I guess pirate freak or not he is perfect :). I'm definately going to have to teach him a good ARRG, and seriously, its like a built in halloween costume! ( Eli if you are reading this from the future your momma loves you and is using humor to make this a not big deal... you really are a perfect my little man to your momma and daddy). On a serious note thank God we are all a little bit flawed or we wouldn't see the need we have for a savior who was perfect.

Hey Jess! Eli's getting so big! And so handsome! It looks like you guys are having a great summer. I'm sorry you're dealing with the eye issues, too. I'll let you know how the surgery ends up going ... our doctor makes it out like not a huge deal, so I'm trying to stay calm :)

We should definitely get together again sometime soon!
