Eli turned 6 months old on Sunday, September 5. As I say every month, he is growing too fast! He had his 6-month checkup today and he is healthy and right on track. He now weighs 21 lb. 5 oz. and is 27 1/4" long. This puts him in the 95th percentile for weight and 80th percentile for height. He is one BIG lovable boy! He was also in the 93th percentile for head circumference, but who really cares about all that? Here are a few new things Eli is doing this month:
-Says many consonant sounds
- Scoots a little. He mainly does this by climbing on top of a stuffed animal and pushing off with his feet. Just can't quite get the mechanics right, but he manages to get around
-Loves to walk while I am holding his hands. He's starting to walk along furniture, but I have to stay close by. Sometimes he forgets to hang on.
-If anything is within reach, it is his. We now have to begin the baby-proofing process again.
-He has increased in opinions and in volume. He's almost always happy, but if he wants something, he WILL let you know!
-He's eating three solid meals a day.
-He drinks from a sipee cup
Oh what joy to see my little ones learn! Thank you God for the privilege to raise these precious children! They are gifts from above!
