The Life of Eli: Month 6

Half a year. We've had our boy for half a year. Some days it feels like he's been here forever while other days it feels like he just arrived. Either way, it's been a joy watching him grow the past 6 months. He is quite the goofball and we can't help but laugh when he squeals at the top of his lungs on a daily basis.

This month we hit a huge milestone as Elijah headed to daycare while Dad headed back to work. Luckily the transition went pretty smoothly with the exception of Elijah pretty much refusing to nap at school. He went from taking at least two 1-2 hour naps at home to two 30 minute naps a day (if we're lucky). Overall, he seems pretty happy playing and riding on the bye-bye buggy with his friends.

Elijah loves examining our hands which could substitute as a toy if it were up to him. He loves grabbing his feet and does it constantly if he's lying on his back. He loves hanging out in the excersaucer and pulling on any object in sight. Elijah has also set a record-high of blowouts this month. I had to re-stock his extra clothes bag on a weekly basis at school!

Highlights this month include:

Soaking up the last few days at home with Dad.

Visiting Mom at work.

Going to my first Mexican restaurant. Give me all the chips and salsa!
