6 months already?

Elijah is 6 months old today! He's SO BIG! We like to play that game. He's good at standing up (with help) and is just starting to realize that applesauce is FOOD. Babies make REALLY funny faces when they first learn to eat. Unfortunately, I always laugh so hard at Elijah's faces when I'm trying to take his picture that all the pictures are blurry. That and we're just enjoying him, instead of taking millions of pictures. But soon, there will be more pictures to post.

He had his 6 month doctor's appointment today. He weighs 16 lbs. 8 oz. (30%) is 27" long (75%) and his head is 17.25" (50%). Thank GOD. It looks like he's got his dad's height... so far. He did really well and smiled at the nurse a lot, and listened to everything the doctor said. He didn't like his shots... but who does? He cried for a bit, and then started sucking his fingers. He's such a big, strong boy. We're SO proud of him!!

We're going to go out to dinner tonight to celebrate. (Mostly for mom and dad.) But maybe a cute waitress will give him a big kiss on the cheek!

Happy 6 month Birthday, Elijah! We love you!

Doesn't time just fly? I remember visiting you three in the hospital!
