Growing like a weed!

Why do people like to compare their kids to weeds? I get because they both grow fast. Yet, so does bamboo, basil and morning glories, and those choices seem much better than weeds. So here we are 6 months later and little Eli is growing like...bamboo.
His accomplishments so far: sits up with support, eats baby food (and loves it), sleeping 6 hours (9pm-3am), pushes his head and chest up off the floor during tummy time, and his two bottom teeth have popped through! He also has his sister and brothers madly in love with him. Mia is his care giver, she holds Eli, changes him, makes him laugh and bathes him. Kai is his protector, he answers Eli's cries, and makes sure nothing and no one is bothering him. Noah is his "life coach". By that I mean Noah has completely embraced being an older brother and loves to tease Eli. He is not giving Eli any breaks just because he is a baby. He likes to get right in Eli's face until Eli gives this new little high pitched squeal that means he's annoyed. It makes Noah fall to pieces in laughter.
I can hardly believe it's been 6 months already, love you Eli!
