9 Months Old

Fourth of July in L'mont

Has it been 9 months? It's hard to believe Mr. Eli Jonas has been around that long already. He's changing quickly and it's fun to see how much he learns from day-to-day. Eli is crawling, making ma-ma sounds, cutting teeth, opening the kitchen cupboards, and starting to copycat certain things we do. He looks more and more like a toddler everyday.

He cut his first tooth a few days ago and it's just starting to poke out. Eli loves being mobile and fully explores every crack and cranny in the house. He has located the open button on our blu-ray player and thoroughly enjoys watching it open over and over again. He's discovered Leon's kennel and can't stop opening and shutting the metal door. He loves going for walks and now that he has his own little pool, he loves splashing around in the backyard.

Eli had his nine month doctor appointment this week and he is back to the 50th percentile for height and weight(20lbs, 28in). I guess all of the crawling and exploring has leaned him out a bit! Either that or he's slipping Denise Austin DVD's in and burning some cals when Mom's not looking.
