5 Months and growing


This Sunday marked Elias being 20weeks old... 5 months already! Every day i am amazed how much i see him change and grow. He now has found his feet and is OBSESSED!! He is getting close to taking his own socks off so he can chew on his tootsies. He has also become extremely vocal, loves to talk to you and make sure everyone in the room knows that he is there! He is still sleeping about 12-13 hours a night (recently been waking up around 5 am because of teething, but we're working on it), and taking about 3 naps a day. Eli has continued to love his food...pears, sweet potatoes, peas, applesauce, prunes, carrots, rice cereal, butternut squash, and coming soon to his diet... green beans. He is working on sitting up on his own, getting very close, but not quite there yet. For a while he could only roll over from back to stomach, but now he finally figured out how to roll over from his stomach to his back. Amos (our dog) has become a very exciting companion for Eli lately!! Lucky for Amos, Eli can't get to him with out my help, but once Eli learns to move around and grab Amos the way he has learned to grab my hair... i will feel so bad for him. He has no idea what's coming.

Brandt and I are starting to try to get better about date nights. Since i do work a little it's still hard to me to leave Eli for non-work related events, but the time alone with just my hubby is wonderful. The other night when we were out we both looked at each other and said "i can't even remember life with out Eli". Funny how quickly life can change!
