9 Months Old!
Elijah is 9 months old! He is growing so fast and is so much
fun. He weighed in at the doctor's office at 22lbs and 2 oz and was 30 inches long. (They measure him differently so he shrunk according to my numbers but grew an inch since he was there last. We don't need a measure tape to know he's growing though!)
That puts him at 75% for his weight and 95% for his length. Mommy says he’s long
and lean; Daddy says that’s defensive tackle material. Either way he is
figuring out how to get around. He hasn’t quite started “crawling” but he will
roll both ways and do an elbow crawl to move forward and back.
Elijah now has 8 teeth. And the way this kid drools, we are
always wondering when the next one will pop through. He loves using his teeth
to bite anything – including people, but we’re working on that. He loves to eat
and seems to be less picky as the days go by. He seems to really like corn
casserole, sweet potatoes, any squash, and most fruits. He’s also started
eating puffs, but mostly to keep him busy. He still doesn’t have the
coordination to get them in him month so most of the time, they are a play
thing while we get his other food around.
Elijah is a fun little boy. He loves to laugh and take in
all that goes on around him. He absolutely loves his big brother. We’ve been
busy with Isaiah’s activities this summer, and Elijah has tagged along nicely
with all the run around. He even hung out at Vacation Bible School over this
last week.
This month Elijah took his last baby bath and first sitting bath, graduated to the all-in-one booster (still rear facing) and out of the infant carrier, and started clapping. He'll even clap on request - "Yay"! Also this month Mommy started working on-site for the fair some so Elijah and Isaiah now have wonderful sitters who come over to
keep them busy. They both seem to really enjoy the undivided attention. An exciting month of exciting changes. Looking
forward to more! Love you Elijah!
