7 Months

Elijah turned 7 months old yesterday! He's sitting up very well and able to go from a crawl to a sit and a sit to a crawl. He loves playing with his toys and exploring the house - he is a busy boy!

He still isn't into solid foods much, but he'll humor me once in awhile with a bit of oatmeal or bananas. We had some trouble with constipation not too long ago (thus the photo in the previous post with the prunes all over his face haha), so I've cut back on the solids anyways and things are back to normal in that department.

Now that he can get around himself he isn't quite as bad about wanting to be held constantly. And fortunately he isn't bad abut putting things in his mouth either at this point, but he does seem fascinated by cords and has already attempted to pull over several lamps and fans. He does still enjoy his Jumperoo very much as well.

He is learning that as the third child you don't get much of a routine schedule around here, but luckily he is good at catching a nap whenever he can!


And he is always sticking out that cutie little tongue :)







He's quite the little charmer. Last week I met some friends for brunch and he had a table full of nice grandpas smiling and laughing. He even had one man come up to him before he left and gave him a $5 bill for his piggy bank! I was speechless!

One new thing he's been doing is shaking his bottles. He must like milkshakes already! :) Sometimes he ends up with drops of milk all over his face, but he thinks it's pretty fun cause he keeps doing it!


Riley can make him laugh like no one else. He sure loves and adores his big brother. The other day Riley went up to his room for rest time and in the meantime Elijah had woke up from his nap but didn't cry so I didn't know he was up. That is until I checked on the two of them and found Riley had climbed into the crib and they were playing together!


And Naomi is still his little pal. She takes good care of him and he adores her as well. For now, he likes it when she rubs his hair...we'll see what happens when that changes!



Happy 7 months sweet baby!
