Elijah is another month closer to the BIG one. Yikes, he is growing up way to fast! No doctor's visit this month so we weighed and measured him at home. He weighed in at 23lbs and 10oz and 31 1/4 inches long. 
It was a month full of excitement. Elijah took his first sitting bath on July 21st. Isaiah joined him and they both loved it! On July 26th, Elijah figured out he could crawl to get what he wants. Here is a video of his first moments crawling - http://youtu.be/1HMZZ5GsSAA. It was a little slow to start off but now he can cross the room in what seems like 2.5 seconds! And he will sit up on his knees and grab at things on the couch or table. Surely won't be long now before he is pulling himself up to standing. 
On August 10, Elijah went to his first Balloonfest. Since the Balloonfest is held just a short walk from the house, it's a free family event that we trek to each year. We even let both boys stay up WAY late (10PM) so we could watch the balloons glow in the dark. Elijah slept through it though, snuggled in daddy's lap. Lastly, on his 10 month birthday, Elijah's first molar came through. And I'm certain we are only a few days away from more with the way this kid is drooling. We just love this bug and all the joy he brings to our family. Much more fun to come I'm sure!
