We walked in and he was ready to get his play on!
Mommy's climber
Gluing fur on his sheep
Giving Gymbo kisses
Eli and his buddy Brayden
Collecting his goody bag after a hard day of fun!
Onto Eli's 10 months.
Yes my baby boy is now in the double digits. I still look back on his baby pix and can't get over how much he's changed, mentally and physically. I go back to my lil' time capsule and relive his baby, baby moments for a lil' bit. And then I'm hit with a pea to bring me back to my now food throwing, bear hugging, stair climbing, dancing boy!
Eli's is almost hitting twenty-one pounds. I looked back and saw a posting for his three months, where he was already at 16.8 lbs. So I'm actually thankful he's slowing down. He still is my chubbers though, which I love. He's 29 in. long as well. I really pray he's somewhat taller than Moi at least 5' 10.
Still in size 4 diapers.
He is almost completely in 18 months clothing.
Ok, now nursing. That's another story in itself. He is still nursing every two hours. But sometimes I can get in an extra hour if we are out. I think it's more of a connection to him to be honest. I guess you could say I'm your attached parent or crunchy parent. Which I actually love. I'm gonna let Eli wean himself. I don't plan on weaning him.
Eating. This boy can NOT go to bed with out milk and a big nights dinner. He will wake up if he misses it. I promise every time we have put him in his crib when he's either fallen asleep in his car seat or on a walk, he never fails to wake up to eat and then that boy is once again O-U-T! He now needs his carbs as well. He can't just eat blueberries for breakfast. He needs that along with toast, pancakes or his whole grain wheat waffles ;) Oh now when he gets full, he makes sure the puppies get food too by throwing his leftovers on the floor for them! oh and he's absolute favorite food I think you could eat over and over are Cheerios. I have no clue either cuz those things are so bland.
He dances to the beat of his own drum. I love it. He can walk w.his walker, but he's still afraid to walk along the furniture.
He has seven teeth. And those things are just coming in!
He loves saying mama and dadda. And I think he actually knows who we are when he's saying them.
You point now when you want something. It's so cute to see your chubby lil' finger pointing.
He is by far the best sleeper. You love to cuddle, but when it comes time to actual sleeping, you need your own space. You always have to sleep in your crib or you start fussing. You sleep through the night and I've cut your naps down to one a day. You take a good two hour nap around 1 and then go to bed around 7.
He prefers to be close to mama and papa. You do enjoy the play area we made for you, but rather stay in the living room w.us and go searching around for household toys. I showed you mamas pans and you love throwing those things around!
He is an amazing sharer. And when I ask him to give me something he's not supposed to have he'll come crawling to me to hand me what ever he has. He's a great listener!
Diaper changes have been a challenge. He knows his changing table, so now we avoid that area cuz the moment he lays down on it, he knows it's time to change his diaper and he HATES it.
He's starting to get a lil' afraid of men. As well as certain things. The other day he saw some dolls and freaked out. He was clinging onto my mom for dear life.
He discovered the puppies food and water. And he attempted a few days ago to actually eat it. So those have now needed to be moved a few times. He keeps finding our hiding spots' for them :)
We recently went on our first hike and Eli passed out. It was so cute. I mean this kid was PASSED out!
Eli you're mamas happy lil' man. You can smile on the drop of a hat. I hate to say it, but you are mamas boy for sure. No doubt about that. I can't thank daddy enough to allow me to stay home with you so I can see your face! Only two months away till' your big day and boy are you in for a surprise!!
Can you spot Eli?!
