Sorry this post is so late. I have had several post's in the works now for some time and with all the excitement happening around here recently each one was delayed. This little guy is just getting so big. It has been amazing watching him grow. And they grow so fast. Sometimes shockingly fast. I got on the scale with Eli this time around to get his weight. Well he gained a pound, I would have thought it would have been more but he has become so active that I figure he is probably burning every calorie he takes in.
Eli Shane you are 5 months old!!
And I can hardly believe it. I already look back at pictures of you when we brought you home and It is hard to believe that you use to be so little.
You are so full of energy and you are so talkative most of tht time. You like to make all sorts of noises. If we pat your mouth you love to make different noises along with that. You are still nursing every 3-4 hours and eating all sorts of foods now. Cereal in the morning and at night. You are also eating bananas, apples, green beans, sweet potatoes, squash, carrots, and we just tried peas. You love the fruit of coarse, you especially like your apples cold. And you love squash, carrots and sweet potatoes. But since your were introduced to the sweeter stuff your not so fond of the green beans and you not so sure about those peas.
You have started taking pretty good naps for me during the day, but you have started waking up during the night more. You used to sleep from 10-4 (eat) and sleep until 7. But now you are going to sleep about 9 or 10 then waking at 1, 4 & 7 but go right back to sleep each time after eating and finally getting up for the day at 8 or 9. Every day is usually different. But what is always consistant is that you are such a happy baby. You are rarely fussy.
You found your feet and now you always want to put them in your mouth. You are getting really good at using your hands and usually you are always trying to grab what we have in our hands. Everything you manage to get goes straight in your mouth. You are so so so close to crawling and you sometimes stand up on your feet while your hands are on the ground. We started putting you in your jumparoo and now you want to jump all the time when someone is holding you. You are trying to sit on your own, but you haven't quite got that down yet. I am sure by next month you will be sitting and crawling. We'll see :)
We love you so much!!
Weight: 16.2lbs
Length: about 27in.
Picture time!!
Mr. Serious!!
Eli don't put your feet in your mouth.
No...don't you do it!
Mommy....Why can't I put my feet on my mouth.
One of these days he is gonna reach out and grab that paper and tear it to shreds.
It looks like he is clapping in this picture. Maybe he was trying to, I must have told him only a few more pictures.
What a sweet boy. I love him to pieces. He is so silly and just brings a smile to my face each and every day.
