9 months old

Eli turned 9 months old on Sunday. As hard as that is to believe, it also feels like he's always been a part of our family. Eli is truly a GIFT to us! He's such a loving and happy boy!
Here are a few stats on my bouncing baby boy!
-He's weighing in at just over 20 lbs.
-He is VERY mobile, but he scoots on his belly-not a real crawl
-He loves the orange vegetable baby food, not the green stuff
-He started saying "Mama" on Saturday while we were in the car. He's said it a few times since.
"Da-da-da-da" has been going on a couple of months, but mainly when he talks, he and Sawyer are yelling back and forth at each other...VERY LOUDLY!
-He has 7 teeth-four on the top and three on the bottom and can chew like a champ.
-He's the favorite in the nursery at church. The sweet nursery workers fight over who gets Eli. Doll face! :)
-You can see his defense mechanism against his big brother...he'll pull the stew out of his hair, but he's also in awe of everything Sawyer does.
We're definitely in love with this little boy!

I tell you what...that little Eli is Mr. Smiley! I love how he is so happy all the time! And boy is he growing! You're gonna have two football players on your hands Mama! I love the one of the two of them with their heads together! They sure are sweet! (But how could they not be?!?!)

Happy 9 months Eli! I can't believe how big both of your boys are getting. Gray is a hair puller himself. I keep hoping he grows out of it. :-) They are adorable!
