7 Months!

Well, my baby turned 7 months yesterday! 7 months...where has the time gone. And because this is the only place I record things about my son (aka...he doesn't have a baby book), you will be privy to the latest happenings of my amazing son.

Weight: 17.2lbs (18th percentile)
Height: 26.5 in (20th percentile)
Head Cir: 18 in or 45.7 cm (80th percentile)

What he's doing these days...

• Sitting up (He started learning last Thursday and by Saturday he was a pro)
• Rolling over from belly to back (some)
• Smiling all the time
• Talking...things like dadadada, ooooohhhh (he talks a lot when people aren't looking or paying attention to him...Ben says that's because he hears us talking when he can't see us, so that is what he thinks he's supposed to do)
• Sleeping much better (lately, he's been going to bed about 8, waking up at 1, and then sleeping till 8)
• Eating solid foods (hints his 2lb increase from last month)
  
• loving his exersaucer
• Growing some hair
• Still wearing 6 month clothes (but they are getting a little snug)
• Wearing a size 2 diaper
• Sucking on his thumb (well more like chewing on his thumb)
  

Foods he likes

• sweet potatoes (I am surprised he isn't orange from all the sweet potatoes)
  
• bananas
• avocado (this is his latest favorite food...I mean seriously who doesn't like guacamole?)
  
• carrots
  
• green beans
• mashed potatoes (thanks to Mimi...he's now hooked)
• Momma's milk (this is still his favorite)

Eli continues to make our lives brighter. He is one of the happiest babies I have ever met. I bless God that he has never had colic or really been that fussy. He will go to anybody and loves to flirt with the ladies. His big blue eyes and dark eyelashes will capture any heart. He truly is an amazing blessing for God.

So cute...I love my exersaucer
Hello Jen Jen

Aunty Jen is the best babysitter (even if she only gets to watch me for like 45 minutes on Mondays)

We're in jail...get us out.
This would have been a cute picture had Ben not been taking it from the other side of the fence.

I love my fingers. Especially when they are in my mouth.

I love my feet too...especially when they are in my mouth.

I like my toys too...especially when they're in my mouth too.

I'm pretty cute huh...and yes I realize my cheeks are a little chunky.
What can I say, I love sweet potatoes
What up yo!

Hey guys...come get me.
I am getting so big.
