Tiny Update

Not much has been going on, just everyday stuff. He loves playing with his walker, he'll pretty much hold onto anything and walk around the house. He continues to get new teeth all the time.

I forgot to mention, the day my mom and grandma came, Elijah fell down the whole flight of stairs. I ran up the stairs to file something, and didn't know he was following me up. By the time I closed the cabinet, I heard him falling, hit each stair. I ran to the bottom, and comforted him for maybe 3 minutes, and he was done crying and back to laughing. It made my heart stop to hear that sound. He had a few small yellow bruises in the following days, but otherwise he's been fine. Falling, down stairs, or off couches, does not deter him from climbing. Every the curious boy.

I hope to get him a cute little outfit for Easter, I have my eye on something at Children's Place. I still haven't gotten him to a studio to get pictures taken. Timing and money. It may not happen until summer, or Christmas. But it is definitely future plans.

I'll try to upload a few pictures from the visit, Elijah with his grandma & great grandma. Soon he'll get to see Nana & Grampy.

My very own post!

Teeth

Elijah is currently getting in two new teeth, one on the top, one on the bottom. This means he's been running a bit of a fever. So he isn't his usual run-around-the-house self, and he's more inclined to chill and be cuddled. Ah, how I missed that. His soft warm little body curled up in your arms, looking at you with his big brown eyes. It's good to be a mommy. :)

1 Year Old

It's been a good week to be one. Elijah opened his presents on Monday, and got a few books, some dvds, some clothes and a few toys. Definitely a Baby Einstein theme. Tuesday he had his 12 month check up, and his progress pleased Dr. Perry. He is 20 lbs, 2.5 oz, and he's 29.5 inches long. Tall boy! We've been working on getting him to try more table food, so Tuesday night we went out to Q'doba for dinner, and Elijah shared my chicken soft taco. Next time, I will have to order more. He had peaches last night for dessert, which he loved, and I had to protect them from Daddy. Obviously something else we'll have to add to our shopping list. Elijah likes to eat peas, but not so sure about carrots. We're hoping to get him drinking milk soon.

Physically, the boy is always on the move. He wants to climb everything. Last night he walked with Daddy for the first time. Sorry, missed it on camera, I'll have to get it next time.

I didn't get a chance to email this to everyone, so I'm posting it. It's a video of Elijah eating his cake. Hope you had the chance to see his birthday pics, the link is on the right.

He's growing so fast, becoming more a little boy than a baby. I hope you all get a chance to see him soon.

Birthday Boy!

It's my birthday!



Saturday we went swimming, yesterday we had cake and today I'll open my presents. Pictures will be up later today.
