8 Months- 5 1/2 Months Adjusted


So it’s time again for another Mr. Baby update….
He weighs…..umm…well I don’t exactly know. Slacking mommy? Nope! We haven’t gone to the pediatrican in over a month!! That would be longest he has gone without seeing a doctor in his whole entire life. We did have a follow up with his physiatrist last week. Everything looks good. We go back in 6months and as long as he still looks ok he’ll be discharged.  So we will have to do monthly OT until then but that’s ok.
So what did last month look like? Lots of wonderful, heartmelting smiles and even an occasional laugh. Soo much fun. There’s nothing better than walking through the door after a long 12 hour shift and he sees me and just gives me this big grin. However I have lost my spot at the top of Eli’s most favorite person list. He just is OBSESSED with his Dada right now. To the point where if he hears his dada talking or sees him he stops what hes doing and stares and smiles at him and will say dadada, even in his sleep. He has a similar love for his Grandpa and Grampy. Don’t get me wrong its not like he hates the ladies in his life. It’s just right now hes all about the guys.
So he’s working on sitting up. He can do about 9 seconds on his own. He can roll from his belly to his back and just yesterday got down back to belly. He had to show off for his Omie. I missed it L
He’s starting solid foods. We’ve gotten banana, sweet potato, and carrots down. I don’t really think there is going to be anything that he won’t like. As long as you are willing to feed him, he’s willing to eat.
Favorite thing to do. Jump in his bouncer. Oh my gosh he loves that thing. Even when you hold him on your lap he wants to bounce. He still loves his bath, he even is good with a shower.
So what have we been up too….He’s had multiple trips up to Omie and Grandpa’s. Visits with Great Gram and Auntie.  He’s a big boy and will go in the nursery at church with the other kids (mom’s still getting used to that one). We went up to Omie’s to celebrate Uncle Fish’s birthday. Had a little bit of a cold and dealt with it fine. Had a baby play date with Baby Ellie. Attended Kiwi’s second bridal shower, where he got to meet a bunch of family friends.  He went on a hike and went swimming, and went to his first wedding.

Lots of stuff going on..we are soo busy right now. Next on the plate…his OMA (Omie’s mom, my Oma) will be here in 6 days!! Mr. Baby hasn’t seen her since he was born. Then we have Omie’s birthday and my birthday. Then Uncle Fish and Auntie Kiwi’s wedding extravaganza. We are soo looking forward to him meeting a bunch of relatives from my side. Great Uncle Pete+ Auntie Val. 2nd Cousins Mike and Noah. Great Great Uncle Ed and Aunt Carol. 3rd Cousin Paul and Kim. And their son Thomas. I’m not sure what you would call the relation between Eli and Thomas. His grandmother’s cousin’s son. Whatever I guess it doesn’t really matter. Here's the important part.....
