Health
Eli was a pretty healthy dude this month! Nothing crazy to report (thank goodness)!
Sleep
Sleep has been good this month (knock on wood). Eli goes down around 7pm and wakes up between 5:30-6:30am. No night wakings this month. Naptime is a different story. Sometimes he takes a solid 2-2.5 hour nap and sometimes it’s a 45 minute cat nap. He’s down to 1 nap a day around 12:30pm during the week at daycare. We try to keep him on the same schedule during the weekends but sometimes he ends up taking about an hour morning nap and 1.5 hour afternoon nap.
Eating
Eli will eat {almost} anything for Ms. Leslie at daycare! Peer pressure maybe? Eating for mom and dad is a different story! He’s not a huge breakfast eater. He likes taking sips of mom’s chocolate protein shakes. He usually has multiple helpings of lunch at daycare (little piggy) and an afternoon snack. This is the order we attempt food at dinner time: meat, pouch, fruit, yogurt. Some nights he packs away the food and some nights he grazes. He is loving pears/peaches/apples this month. He’s not as big of a fan of grapes this month - I think he’s burned out on them. He seemed to really like kiwi but ended up with a major diaper rash so I’ve been gun shy on giving him more in case that’s what it was from. When he doesn’t like something he will spit it out and hand it to us - thanks buddy! He claps for more (close to the sign for more). Still tries to feed the dogs occasionally and thinks it’s OH so funny!

Baby Gear Love (new this month)
Wagon - We’ve only had this for a few days but he seems to really like the wagon! He sits in it like such a big boy and just looks around as you pull him.
Things I Don't Want to Forget
His excited noise that comes from his throat, especially when he gets excited when he sees his puppies!
Before he started walking - he would crawl around the house with his toys in his mouth - I think he’s part puppy!
The wobbly-mummy like walk when he is first learning to walk
The sweet hugs he’s starting to give
Snuggle time during & after our morning and night nursing sessions
When we say “Show us your tongue!” and he sticks his tongue out - so cute!
Finally raises his arms when we ask “How big is Eli?!”
