Elijah, Elijah, Elijah

I can not believe that in ONE week from today my baby will be 2!!! He is such a little man! Where did the time go? He has been changing so much, even in these past few months. 


Here are some of his latest and greatest moments/sayings....

Food:
1. He will only eat the Oreo side that has the frosting. All he does is lick off the frosting and then he is done.
2. He LOVES Peanut Butter sandwiches. Tonight he ate one with an adult fork. 
3. He would drink a gallon of milk a day if we let him. He says "mommy, milk" which can sound bad "mommy's milk..." um yeah. Awkward! 

4. He enjoys saying "coffee" and pointing to my coffee mug. 

Daddy Moments:
1. He LOVES to wrestle with his daddy.
2. He waits in the Bay window and laughs so hard when he sees Josh riding home after work on his bike. 
3. He and daddy enjoy walks to see the ducks!

Mommy Moments: 
1. When I get home from working or an appointment E will say "mommy home, mommy home."
2. We like to meet up with Kelsey/Elle at the park between our house for play dates.

E Sayings:
1. When we say "love you" he replies with "love you too."
2. He likes to tell Mocha when he is being "naughty". 

3. "No hit Elle" (we have to remind him before going to Cousin Elliana's that we are gentle and don't hit.
4. "I scared" This is sad a lot about the dark, the train's horn and the dinosaurs at the MN Zoo. 

E Loves:
1. The ZOO.
(Leighton, Elijah, Annie)

2. The park.

3. The church nursery (He says "choo, choo" every time when tell him we are going to church...they have trains in the nursery)
4. PABLO (and Pablo kisses)


5. WATER...he would swim and play in it every day if he could. He has NO fear of the water. 

6. His Bible! He asks to read his Bible every night before bedtime.


Elijah entertains us, makes us laugh and boy do we sure love him!

Caution Readers...Poop Photos

Well first I must say that I did warn you...

Here is the story...

I went to change E this morning after he woke up. He had a very red and sore bottom and I will sometimes let him "air" out without a diaper on, which might I add he LOVES! Well I took off his diaper, put his shorts back on and thought...okay in 5-10 minutes I will put a new diaper on. Well I got distracted putting away his clothes and he was playing. All of a sudden I look over and he has the "I'm pooping look" on his face, in fact I said to him, "are you pooping?" I then went back to putting away his clothes (3 feet away from him might I add). and YES HE WAS pooping...WITHOUT a diaper on!! I looked over and saw this...


But not just this...but this with a little boy standing it, not sure what to do or what just happened! 

I screamed, I laughed and I wanted to cry. I grabbed E and held him out FAR from me and ran to the bath tub! E still didn't know what was happening! I got him cleaned up then put him in the crib so I could clean the floor. All I could do was laugh because it was ALL MY FAULT!! 

Please tell me I am not the only one who has done this?!?!

Little Man's Top Ten Updates

Here is the Little Man's Top Ten Updates...

10. E went to work with me today for the whole day! He got to play with 3 other friends in the infant room while I worked the desk. He had a bit of a rough day because he has been extra clingy to me (and Josh) ever since Josh was gone for two weeks for work. He played, napped a little (only 35 minutes), laughed, cried, screamed, ate and pooped! 

9. My little 11 month old is not so little...


8. He has three more teeth coming in, all on top. Yep, 5 teeth in all! These top three have been a pain!! Poor little boy!! 

7. E LOVES being outside! 


6. E LOVES to wrestle with his daddy!! 

5. We have the plannings of his FIRST birthday party underway! *Think Baseball*

I sent out these "save the dates" via email. 
(Real invites will be mailed) 

4. E climbs on EVERYTHING!! 


3. E went down the slide for the first time! At first he didn't know what to think. But the second time down he laughed!!



2. E loves bath time...mommy does not! He splashes and tries to lunge in and out...but he loves it so I shouldn't complain! 

1. Right now one of his favorite things...Elmo!! We have a little Elmo, a Spanish speaking Elmo and then of course...youtube Elmo!


Hope you enjoyed the Top Ten update for today! Happy Friday!

Supper Time

Last night's supper time was just me and Elijah (Josh had to work late)...so I broke out the camera and snapped away. Elijah enjoys (for the most part) getting his picture taken, unless of course we have paid for it to be done! (*see this post for examples)

Anyways, here are the results...

This was the very first picture I took...what a character! AND his first time sticking out his tongue. 

"Oohhh"

Getting SO tired!!

But still enough energy to clap for himself! He LOVES to clap for himself!

Deciding what to eat...chicken or bread?!?

And sticking it in there...

"Yes, I am a ham!"

Laughing...

All done...well except for the one little piece of food still on his nose!

Elijah is 9 months old!!

My little man (well tall little man) turned 9 months old today!!
We had his 9 month appointment and here are his stats...

Weight: 21lbs 7oz (55%)
Head: 17.75 (50%)
Height: 31.5 in. (100+%)

The nurse laid him down and measured him, then went to chart it. She said "I think I measured wrong because he is off the chart! Do you think he will stretch out again?" Of course he would...so she remeasured! Well same results! I wish I had taken a picture of his height chart! I did however create one (click on it to make it bigger), so here that one is...

Chart from newparent.com, edited on picnik.com

Here are a few pictures of our little man today!
