Hobbies

I've already mentioned young Elijah's propensity towards growling. However, I failed to mention that his second favorite hobby these days is grabbing his feet. Below you will find documentary evidence of my son engaging in both activities simultaneously. Clearly he must be gifted!

Is It Too Late For Oscar Submissions?

No, it's not a video of Eli growling, in fact it is even more boring than that! It's two minutes of Eli eating rice cereal for the first time. Enjoy!

Eli's First Word

The vast amount of baby literature we've read (i.e., one or two books and the internets) assured us that our child would soon begin politely cooing at us and experimenting with consonants, such as "ma," "da," and of course "ba." However, Eli has bypassed that stage of language development and instead chosen to focus on the word "RAWR!" Seriously, all he does is growl. It'll be six in the morning and what do we hear coming from his room? A low pitched "RAWR!" How does he let us know he's hungry? A higher pitched, more whiny growl. At first it was funny, but now it's just kind of weird. I'll try to get some video documentation for your viewing pleasure.

Eli's (Almost) 4 Month Check Up

We just got back from Eli's 4 month check up and things went good. We're a little ahead of schedule because of our trip home in December. Eli is now 24 inches long and weighs 15 lbs. 2 oz. He did much better with his shots this time around and the doctor says he's very healthy.
