Elijah is doing great. He is such a joy. He is a smiley thing and he's always happy until it's time to eat or sleep. He turns fast and then you better get that kid a bottle or into bed ASAP. He loves to be out and about and loves all the attention he gets from strangers. We had to take a break from solids after he had a bad reaction to apples of all things. He never seemed too bothered by it, but we took away solids for a week so all the irritation could clear up and now he's back on track. We are going to stick to veggies for the next few months and then add fruits back in. It's probably the acidity he couldn't handle.
Eli has moved onto 6-9 month clothes. He remains a very average sized baby. Looking back at the blog and going through old clothes, I realized at this same age Sean was wearing 12-18 month clothes. He was a much bigger boy! Unfortunately, that means Eli doesn't get to wear as many hand-me-downs has we had hoped. The sizes just don't match up with the weather outside. All of Sean's 6-9 month stuff is wintery since he was wearing that stuff when he was like 3 months old in a D.C. winter/spring.
When I got Eli up from a nap the other day, this is what I found. I guess he was getting ready for one of Sean's toga parties.
Sean has been doing well in school and his therapies. I have lots of updates for his blog when I get some more time (or figure out how to do without sleeping at night). He has been tear free at school for the last several weeks. He is using more and more sounds and words and continues to imitate sounds from us and his teachers. And he is as sweet and well-behaved as ever, maybe sweeter. Just last night he was hanging out with his little brother in our bed and then he rolled over to pet Jill and curled up next to Oscar. I always remind him to be gentle but truthfully it's never an issue. He gets a little rough with Eli when a shared toy is involved but never rough enough to hurt him and of course, Eli loves it.
