The Vahjen Boys

Noah is now 22 months old and Eli is 6 months old. We have now been in Greenwood for 8 months and we are settling in nicely. The past month has been a rough one though, the boys have been sick quite a bit. Brian, Noah, and I all had the stomach bug about 3 weeks ago. Then Noah about two weeks later had a double ear infection and they thought he had RSV too. Then poor little young Eli tested positive for RSV the next week, then two days later he had a double ear infection, and then a day later he was put on breathing treatments. Then the next week both the boys back to back began with vomitting, diarrhea, and fever. Seeing your two little boys throw up is one of a mothers worst nightmare because they are so helpless. We are now recovering and hope the spring will bring healthiness. It is so neat now how much the boys are interacting. They really love each other a lot!

Eli at 6 months and 1st Rice Cereal

Eli has been such a great blessing. He is happy and cheerful all of the time! He is such a good baby and just goes with the flow all the time. He is now 6 months old and we can't believe it! Time just flies! The doctor told me to start him on rice cereal at 5 months, but I just didn't want to do it, because that meant he was growing up. Its crazy, with Noah I wanted him to do everything ASAP, but with Eli I just don't want him to grow up!
