Big Boy

Just a few things to share:

Besides mama and dada, Elijah has said his first, clear as a bell word....baby. We think it is because we often call him baby Elijah, and we read Baby Beluga like everyday. It's very cute.

We gave him his sippy cup again, and he seems to sort of understand how it works. He's still not using it a lot, but it's a start.

Elijah is standing by himself for longer periods (see picture above), but would rather crawl, or half crawl to get where he wants to go. He will walk the length of the kitchen if you hold his hands.

We're working on teaching him to be gentle. When he gets excited, he playfully hits people. He was showing this affection last week in the nursery at church. :(

His next doctor appt is June 15, and I'm excited to see how he's grown. He has a great appetite still, and will eat anything. It's wonderful to be able to take him out to a restaurant and be able to feed him off our plates.

I can't wait for our friends in CA to see how much he's changed since they saw him in January.
