5 months old

And he keeps on growing like a weed! We don't have a doctors appointment for 5 months so we weighed and measured Elijah at home. He weighed in at 19 lbs even and 27 3/4 inches long.

Other new developments -
--First tooth came through on March 14th. We're pretty sure the other bottom front one is not far behind.
--He had started stooling unassisted. While it is still only 1-2 times per week he is unbothered by this.
--We started solids (Acorn Squash) on his 5 month "birthday". He was more intrigued with the spoon and mommy's hand then with the food itself but he still ate nearly 3/4 of an ounce.
--Elijah can now touch and even "stand" in the exersaucer. He loves the ability to spin and follow Isaiah's as he runs around the room. The chewable items on there also are a big hit.
--We officially called it quits on the bouncy seat. He was just about making it fold to the point of no longer bouncing because of his weight so it was time to give it up, even if it was a favorite.
--He is now sleeping from 6:30 PM to 8:30AM almost every night without waking for any feedings. I was a little concerned at first, but his weight had still continued to grow so now we're gladly enjoying the undisturbed sleep! He is also still taking two good naps (2-3 hours each).
--He is only awake about 5-6 hours a day. However when he is awake his is very happy and interactive. The main times we see him Burst into Tears is when Isaiah rolls him over (still not a big fan of being on his belly, especially without warning), when Isaiah "pats" him, when no one is paying him attention and he gets bored, or when he is ready to be put back down for more sleep.

We look forward to more exciting new first in the coming months. We love you Elijah!
