Eli's first 4th of July

We had our first Fourth of July at the Tilden house this year. Can't say you had the best of times. You and deb BOTH have ear infections and a sinus cold. You're even having a tough time eating because you're so congested. I had to rock you back to sleep this morning instead of breastfeeding, which is totally out of your routine. Breaks my heart to see you in a bad mood, you always have such a mellow and happy demeanor about you but these past two days you have been cranky and Whiney, refusing sleep even MORE than you already do. You go a long stretch from about 9:00-1:00 then you wake up and cry for close to a half hour, fall back asleep and wake up two hours later. Moms almost at her wits end, thinking about trying essential oils to see if it will help your sleeping. This weekend mommy and daddy are going to San fransisco and leaving you and deb . You will be staying with grandpa David and grandma Kathleen while deb is going camping with December  & the kids. You really are such a joy, watching your smile and happiness.. You giggle often at your sister, she truely makes you the happiest. Can't wait to watch you guys grow up together
