It's hard to believe this little bug has been hanging out with us for 7 months. We didn't have a doctors visit this month so we weighed him in at home at 20lbs, 4oz. He's 30 inches long. This little guy loves to eat but, unlike his brother, has selective taste buds. He originally would eat peas no problem but apparently they are not good, gag-worthy now. Just makes me laugh to think about his reaction! He really enjoys all the fruits and starchy veggies such as squash and sweet potatoes. We're really looking forward to the start of our CSAs so we can introduce him to some new tastes.
At 7 months he is not yet rolling around or sitting unsupported on a consistent basis but he is close. He's doing better with hanging out on his belly so that's certainly is helping. He will use his arms and legs to get around though so nothing is really out of reach on the floor. He is babbling more and more. He will "talk" your ear off if you give him audience and he's in a good mood, which is most of the time.
Most of Elijah's day is spent sleeping; he is on a very nice 2 nap schedule and is back to sleeping 12 hours straight at night. When he is not sleeping or eating, most of his other activities are centered around his brother. He's been to Isaiah's last day of preschool, he watches brother play on the swing set, he went to watch Isaiah shaving cream skate at church. Otherwise, he does enjoy the front seat in the double stroller for a nice walk or playing with his camera, turtle car, and Sophie the giraffe on the living room floor. His favorite thing to do by far though is watch Isaiah with whatever he is doing. We love seeing him become more and more apart of our world each day and look forward to more exciting things in the future! We love you Elijah!
