Seven Months Today...

It's been seven months since Elijah's gotcha day. We are truly blessed. He continues to thrive and we continue to fall more and more in love with him. This past month he has made leaps and bounds in the verbal skills department. He repeats just about everything we say, most of it we can understand.  He also pretty much understands everything that we say to him. Another new love has emerged, his love of music. Whenever he hears music he starts to move and groove and bob his head, it is so darn cute!! Many times we hear him in the back seat of the car just singing along.
He's still quite a picky eater. Although not quite as slow as he used to be, he will flat out refuse to eat something new unless I can sneak it into him mouth and he discovers it is good. A few of his favorite foods are noodles, cheese, anything sweet, peanut butter, and any fruit. He feeds himself all the time now, and gets quite insulted when I try to feed him. He sleeps very well, through the night with long naps during the day. Here are the latest pictures of our darling boy, Elijah.

Absolutely adores big brother, "Dandoll" (and the feeling is mutual)

Swinging is the best!
