Eli - 9 months old

Oh my goodness!  One-year-old is just around the corner. I don't know if I can take it.  I really want to keep this one small!!!  Maybe it's a second child thing.  You are so anxious to see your first child grow up to see all the things they will do and learn.  But, now that I have an idea about those things from Landry, I'm completely ok with Eli staying 9 months old.  Am I asking too much?  Perhaps, yes.  I know that God needs this baby to grow up and bring others the same joy he has brought us.  He is one amazing little guy!


We went to the Doctor yesterday and here are his stats: Weight - 24 lb. 2.5 oz (92 %), Height - 29 1/4" (75%), Head circumference 18 3/4" (95%).....He must have a big brain.


And here are his milestones since 6 months:
-Says mama, dada, baba, more and ball (i think)
- Waves back at you and sometimes says bye bye with it
-Claps, drums on everything
-Walks behind a push toy with ease
-Crawls
-Pulls up
-Sits up from crawling
-Has one tooth (one about to break through)
-Dances to music
-Cruises along furniture
-Can stand alone for a few seconds, but recently has been too busy crawling to do that
-Uses Pincer Grasp or picks things up with his fist and squeezes until it pops up at the top.
-Has had 2 haircuts and is in need of another


Ok, so you get the point,  He's been busy, and we have enjoyed every minute of him!
