It's me....1 1/2 year old Elijah. I'm doing well-thanks for wondering. Mommy hasn't let me on her blog for a while because she thinks I'm getting a little sassy these days. I'm 18 months old and getting smarter each and every day. I had a chance to visit with Dr. B last week. He said I checked out well! I'm developing just as I should. AND!! a big AND--I'm growing well too. I finally hit the 20 lb mark (actually 21 lbs 3 oz) and now my mom and dad can turn my car seat around. I'm still less than the 3rd%ile but I gained 2 lbs in the last 3 months. I'm 32.5 inches tall and that puts me around the 50%ile. My head measures me into the 25-50%ile. I didn't have to get any shots because I had an ear infection and a fever so Dr. B "let it slide".
I'm super busy these days. I really don't like to sit still at all. I'm on the move running and hopping and trotting everywhere. I like to climb, in and out, over and under. I'm into "nack" (snack) and Thomas the Train.
I love to help mom and dad put blocks away, throw out the garbage and sit on top of Bailee. I'm only taking 1 nap a day and I still sleep almost 12 hours every night. Here are my fun facts:
-When dad watches football I like to stand in front of the tv and move my fist like him. I yell "Go, Go, Go" and "ootball"
-I am trying to say a lot of words. My favorite right now is "Thon-ih" (thomas the train), Elmo, Bye Bye, Momma, Teddy, Dog, Bath, Boots, Snack (nack), Book, night night etc
-I try to climb on the couch because I am such a big boy when I sit on it. Then I like to sit as close to Bailee as possible. Sometimes she even lets me sit on top of her.
-I hear talk of mom and dad taking away my Nuk. I'm nervous. It's a soother to me.
-I got a new tool bench for Christmas. I love it-it's perfect for me.
-My favorite foods are peas, strawberries, cheese and tomatoes
-I love my bath, bubbles and new tub toys!
-My all time favorite book right now is the foot book. Both mom and dad can almost recite it by memory because we have read it so many times. I also love books that have things for me to touch or move. I only sit on laps for books before bed. But often I will sit on the floor and look at books by myself.
-I love the big mega blocks and spongy blocks.
-I got a broom and a lawn mower for Christmas. I also got a zhu-zhu pet. I love to chase it and I giggle when I pick it up.
-My platelet count (270,000) and other labs looked great at the last draw!
I have enjoyed the little snow that we've had but I can't wait for this summer when I can go outside and play in the backyard again. That's all for now. I'm also attaching a few pictures of me.
Love you all,
Mr. Elijah (bubs, E-casey, E-bugs, Eli)
