Elijah is 8 months old!



I can't believe this baby boy has been OUT of me longer than he was IN me. The time is flying by so fast. Here's the update on him and some recent photos.

His royal chunkiness :

* has 6 teeth.


* can crawl very quickly.

* is pulling up and cruising around furniture everywhere.


* says some suspiciously "Mama" and "Daddy"-like sounds ("Mmmmmam" and "Dee" and "hey!"), and babbles and sings a lot.

* doesn't seem to ever want to sleep through the night again since he started teething with a vengeance, and unfortunately forgot how to sleep more than a couple of hour
s in a row.

* is eating some baby food again, after being on strike for a while (teeth, again).

* is quite a fan of Ma
ma (and her milk). Yes, we've entered Separation 101. :-)

* loves to stroll around the neighborhood, and love on our pets. Sugar makes him so happy.

* has a huge fanbase, but no one can compare to his parents and adoring siblings' love for him.


* is a constant reminder of God's goodness and grace.

He is a royal chunk! Lovin' those rolls! Mine always had those "rubberband wrists" too! :) He's so handsome.
And I love the dog too! Is it a choc/golden mix? SO pretty!

Chelle - he is snuggly. :-)
Abbey - she is a chocolate lab, and is bleached out from the sun. Old, and so, so sweet.
