1st birthday party

Eli went to his first birthday party yesterday for his buddy Hunter. I think everyone had a blast, especially Hunter with his cake ;) It was cute!! There was also another little boy there named Grayson. Between the three of them, Eli turned out to be the bully. He's tiny but he's tough. Grayson was eating an animal cookie and Eli decided to just climb right up using Graysons clothes, push Grayson back against a chair, then try to take the cookie. Yeaa he's a tough'in.

But it was nice seeing him socialize with other kids his age. I think he needs some more of that.
I thought I'd post some more pictures though, for everyone who lives for the pictures on this blog *aka mom*
;)

Btw I stole these pics from Ambers myspace. Thanks ;)

Sunday

No updates for awhile! My new job is keeping me busy.

I have some pictures to share and some news.

Eli went to see Santa last weekend at the mall. He was fine! The picture lady kept commenting how happy he was. I was so excited for him to meet Santa I didn't mind paying entirely too much for the picture ;P

He also walked up the stairs last Saturday. I was behind him of course, but he started motoring up and didn't stop until he was almost at the top. Then he took a lil break and went right on up the rest of the way! He's a bugger!

Right now it's just a challenge trying to feed him. He slaps the spoon out of your hand when your trying to feed him baby food. He mostly wants table food. It's hard to switch gears and think about okay what do I need to have on hand to feed him, since he can't exactly eat everything we have. I'm still pretty paranoid about giving him meat like chicken or pork or whatnot, and having it be too tough for him to mush up. He does really well though.

Okay that is all for now. And look for my next post to say he's walking ;) haha. I think by christmas time he will be!!!!

First TOOTH

Yay my baby got his first tooth! It started poking through on wednesday. He keeps rubbing his tongue on it and sticking his fingers in his mouth like what the heck is that! Ed says theres another one coming in right next to is (so the two front teeth) but I didn't see it. Eli is very resistant to you prying his mouth open or to you sticking a finger in there. It's his mouth darnit.

He had his 9 month check up yesterday. It was about 2 weeks early but I wanted to squeeze it in before I started my new job. He's a tiny boy. He weighs 16 pounds, 12 ounces, and is 27 and a quarter inches tall. His head was like 17 inchs around (if I remember right). he's dropped way down on the growth charts and the Dr thinks he has my height genes. We'll see though. We don't need another shortie around.

And he also slept ALLL night long last night. He does every now and then, but normally I still wake up to him making lil peeps or waking up a lil bit in the middle of the night. Last night was SILENT. It was nice. The dr says though he might start waking up and screaming for mum or dad, as seperation anxiety sets in. Ahh just when things get good it could go bad again.

oh well!

Ice cream face

I really hate it when Eli plays in the dog bed but he was so happy and looked so cute sitting in there the other day. He had pulled his baby monitor down and was just having a grand ol time.

This is his ice cream face. OOo yea we love those ice cream sandwiches :-D

Today

It's been awhile since I've posted. I think Eli is finally getting a tooth. Well I know he is. You can FEEL it :-D it's this hard lump underneath his gum and that keeps getting bigger and bigger. So now the officially tooth countdown can start. He hasn't been too grumpy so that is a plus. Maybe that'll come later I don't know how long it takes these things to push through. Hopefully it'll be easy on him. I hate it when he's miserable.

He's cruising along the furniture pretty good now. I'm not really encouraging him to walk though (like holding his hands and leading him around). Maybe later on but he's only 8 months now. No need to hurry it!

And we've figured out that he sleeps MUCH better without the nightlight on. Unfortunantly I sleep worse because I'm paranoid he'll suffocate under his blanket. And also unfortunantly we need the blanket because our bedroom is so cold. boo :(
