7 Months

I feel like this is the time that Eli is learning something new everyday, but I could have said that on the last post. Regardless, he amazes me everyday with the new things he is learning. I cant believe he is 7 months already.  I love this little boy sooo much!!!

1) Weighs a little over 13 lbs.  We have a formal weigh in and height check next week to make sure he is still on track from his 6 month check up.  I still struggle with his weight gain, but I have to remind myself that God is in control, and he will grow the perfect amount each month.  We are still on track for a 1lb weight gai and as long as we maintain this rate, we are good.

2) Eli recognizes his name and will turn to look at you when you are talking

3) Just started to kind of get on his knees and rock back and forth - very early stages

4) He has 3 ways of getting around right now - the crab walk on his back, the downward dog roll when he is on his stomach, and then just rolling all over the place

5) We finally moved him to the crib and he is doing great.  We have him almost back to sleeping through the night.  I still dream feed at 10, and then he normally wakes up around 4 or 5 for his first morning feed.

6) Recently sat up for the first time on his own!!!

7) He knows 1-2-3.  When he hears this (with whatever we are doing) he will get ready on 2 and then has the biggest smile on 3 when he accomplishes the task at hand. PRECIOUS!

8) Starting to make the "motorboat" sound, and has even started doing that when he eats and spits out his food.  He thinks its hilarious - I guess he has a little mischievous side to him as well.

9) His head is HUGE!!!! He definitely gets that from Derek.  All hats his size will not fit him.  He only fits into 12mo hats or bigger.

10) Dances in the bathtub by shaking his head back and forth really fast.

My Little boy!!  Love him so much - 7 months old



 
 Such a big head.  None of the Santa hats would fit him.



 Loves chilling and grocery shopping with his mom at good 'ole CM!

 Thank you Joshua and Ashley for the "Dude Abides" Onesie.  If anybody knows Derek, you know his favorite movie is "The Big Lebowski".  Derek even went as "The Dude" for Halloween.  So glad Eli can wear this now.
 Woohoo - Sitting up!!
 So gangsta in his musical bouncy gym
