Elijah | 6 Months Old

Elijah turned 6 months old in February, and celebrated his first Valentine's Day! Mommy was his date of course! ;) There have been a few developments since then, but I will try my best not to get them confused with his 7 month updates (which are coming)! I'll get on track before he is a year old... maybe. :)

At 6 Months Old, Elijah...

• Weight: 18lbs.
• Favorite foods: Bananas, sweet potatoes, & pears.
• ROLLED OVER for the first time! (only belly to back) He was so proud of himself! 
• He started to sit up so long as he was supported with a pillow or something to prop him up. Eventually, he sat up without any support!
• He started to jibber jabber more and said "Dadadadadada." Julia said "Mama" first, so at least Daddy didn't win both times. ;) Haha.

Elijah | 5 Months Old

This Mama is so behind on little man's monthly updates! It has been very busy in the Stanland household!

At 5 months old, Eli...

• Weighed around 16-17lbs. Eats twice a day. 
• Favorite foods: Bananas and sweet potatoes. 
• He moved on from the bumbo to his big boy high chair.
• HAS TWO TEETH. (the front, bottom) --- We thought he was getting four in at one time, but the top two still haven't broke though yet.
• Discovered his voice. While it is cute and silly, he can be very loud, especially in public places. 
• His feet/toes. He loves to try and put them in his mouth. Unfortunately, his belly gets in his way, so he gets frustrated.
• He became more interested in his toys, and loves to put all of them in his mouth.
• He loves to jump and bounce.
• He started to "belly laugh." Instead of a little chuckle, it became a "real laugh." It is the cutest.
• He loves it when Daddy plays "Old Uncle Sam" with him!
