Elijah turns 10 Months . . .

Nibbling on Elmo's eyes











Elijah giving Elmo a hug after nibbling on his eyes:-)
















Watch out Elijah is coming through








Our son is in the double digits - 10 MONTHS . . .

We can't believe how the time has went by. Elijah is cruising around all our furniture and standing up solo and then plopping down on his bottom. His two top teeth are now coming in. When I tell Eli to give me a kiss he will open up his mouth and take his hands and place them on my face and breath on my mouth. Well last night to my surprise when I asked him for a kiss he bit me with his new fangs:-) No more kisses from Elijah until he learns how to pucker up . . . OUCH!

Elijah's personality continues to shine full of smiles and giggles. He enjoys being out and about (hmm . . . just like his parents:-)! He waves at everyone and giggles with delight if they wave back. He is also into wearing his cool shades that he keeps close by and has even eaten a few dinners with the darn things on . . .dare we try to remove them it's the funniest thing. He also loves balls and loves to roll the ball to us and have us roll it back to him. He also loves Elmo who his Grandpop and Nancy gave him - he can be found hugging Elmo and of course chewing on Elmo's big eyes - Ouch!:-)

Elijah is now enjoying an array of different foods and loves green beans, broccoli, mac and cheese, bananas, oatmeal, squash, sweet potatoes, are to name a few of his favorites.

We have a baby sitter now and went out on a date the other night to the movies. Well when we left the house I thought Elijah would be sad to see us leave . . .NOT! I could have sworn I saw hearts come out of his eyes as he gazed into Heather's eyes! Heather is AWESOME! Elijah had a great time showing her all his cool toys and was tuckered out from all the excitement and fast asleep when we got home.

Elijah Loving Life . . .

Doesn't he look like his Mommy:-)













Elijah loves pushing around his favorite fire truck!












Elijah loves his sippy cup!














Yep, playing with his power ranger ball!










Elijah with his favorite Tommy truck. Lets just say you had better put this in his toy chest if you plan on listening to the tv - it's LOUD!

Elijah turns 9 Months . . .

Elijah loves riding on Daddy's shoulders.

Elijah turned 9 Months on the 23 Feb. I remember when I was pregnant with Elijah seasoned Mothers told me to cherish every moment because they grow so quickly. In the 9 Months of Elijah's life his growth and development simply amazes us as parents. It seems like yesterday we were bringing him home fumbling through sleepless nights and trying to grasp the deep responsibility of being parents. Life is so different today than 9 Months ago. Our marriage is stronger because of Elijah, Our Love much deeper and selfless. We are more conscious of how we live our lives because it's truly not what you tell a child but it's how you LIVE YOUR LIFE each day! We say daily prayers to our son a family tradition of Faith that will sustain him long pass our own natural lives.

Elijah went to his Healthy Baby Appointment on March 9, 2006 and he is growing up . . .

He weighs 19.8 Pounds - 50% in Weight - 3.8 Pound Gain from his 6 Month Appt.
He is 30.5 Inches - 95% in Height - 2 Inch jump in Height from his 6 Month Appt.
His Head is 18 Inches - and is now in the 50% instead of the 25% at his last appt.

Dr. Shannon said Elijah looks great and is ahead on motor skills and couldn't believe all that chattering. Hmm. . . we know he got that honest - right from his Mommy:-)!! He got his finger pricked to check his iron level and it was good. So we Thank God for a Good Drs. visit!




Hmm . . . what can I get into:-)
















He loves pulling out plasticware and playing. Who knew we didn't have to buy toys . . .













Yep, this is Elijah in the morning just waking up. When he gets up in the morning he is all SMILES - standing up in his crib. Now this is what you call a Morning Person:-)











I saved my favorite picture for last. This is Elijah belly laughing. He loves listening to music a few of his favorites are Bingo, This Old Man, and his all time favorite No More Monkeys! Every time Elijah heres this song he holds onto something and starts to bounce up and down and squeals with laughter . . . it's the funniest thing!
