Eli is 8 Months

 
 
 
 
 


Eli has decided that he is quite content to just sit around and watch! He is in no big hurry to go anywhere! Everyone comments on how he wants to "move" and "it won't be long" before he is mobile, but I think my baby boy is content just to hang out!  He likes for you to hold him up so he can stand up, but he hasn't figured out how to do it by himself.  He has however figured out that he can pivot around on his belly to get his toys!  Eli LOVES to sit up on the living room floor and reach for his toys, the remotes and Eli is obsessed with our iPhones! I am sure it won't be long before he is able to work our phones as well as Mia does.

Eli is doing really well with feeding himself. He can pick up puffs with both hands and actually get them into his mouth and only drop a few on the way! He is still working on his sippy cup, he can get it up to his mouth but hasn't mastered tipping it back to get the water.

Eli has started to growl at us! Yes, growl! He still coos, squeals and chatters but now he has added growling to his repertoire.  We aren't really sure where this came from, but boy does he love the way it sounds!
 
At this point in time his first tooth still hasn't made an appearance. We are thinking he might be our toothless wonder! I have come to realize that Eli does things on his own time and he does them all with a big gummy smile on his face!

Eli is still wearing 6-9 month clothes, size 3 diapers and now officially sleeps from 6 pm to 6-7am!
