Eli is Nine Months Old!!

Eli turned nine months at the beginning of November.  His check up at the doctor was great, even though he still only weighs about 17 pounds!  The doctor suggested starting him on fattier foods like eggs, peanut butter, and yogurt, so we'll be testing those out soon.  He is still army crawling; we think he's so fast that he doesn't feel a need to find another way to get around!  He's been a great sleeper lately; we added a humidifier to his room and it's really helped.  He still loves to watch Lily and play peek a boo with her.  She always wants his high chair right by her when we eat dinner.  She says, "Mama, coot (scoot) Eli by me!"  She also has been helping to feed him lately, and he loves it! I've been making sure to read a book before each nap lately, and as soon as we sit down in the chair, he starts smiling and giggling!

 

At nine months, Eli loves:

**bath time

**swinging outside

**reading books

**knocking blocks down

 

He crawled under the bouncer!

Swinging at City Park!

So cute!
