12 months
weight. over 20 lbs or something. You have your one-year shots next week.
height. Still short enough to stay in your first carseat
eyes. big, blue and sparkly. you rub them when you are sleepy.
hair. Red in some lights. It is pretty thin and you even have a bit of a curl at the back.
feeding. Your top teeth have cut. New foods you've tried since last time - salmon, noodles, green pepper, melon, chicken, mozza and cheddar, multigrain bread, "pizza", "muffins". You seem to like it all but still like the boob best.
sleeping. Having a wee bit of trouble napping every day, but we'll fall into a routine soon enough once you figure out the packnplay business.
things you love. banging everything together, climbing stairs, climbing up on things, the toilet, taking a bath, talking, the washer & dryer, books, walking along furniture, laughing, being upside down, playing the cowbell.
things you don’t love. being sick, falling over
other [new] awesome things you do. climbing stairs (fast!), opening doors, walking along furniture, have full "conversations" with yourself (the occasional new sound too)
xo Elijah.

weight. over 20 lbs or something
height. Still short enough to stay in your first carseat
eyes. big, blue and sparkly. you rub them when you are sleepy.
hair. Red in some lights.
feeding. Your top teeth are so close to be cutting through. Any day now. New foods you've tried - green beans, black beans, chickpeas corn, kiwi, bagel, bran flakes, ham. You seem to like it all but still like the boob best.
sleeping. shorter naps, but longer at night. I guess I can't complain? I think I preferred it the other way. But maybe you are helping me adjust to going back to work.
things you love. banging everything together, exploring the house (especially the plants and bathroom), playing with any sort of paper you can find, talking, peek-a-boo, books, pulling books off the shelf and reading them, laughing, being upside down, playing your bells.
things you don’t love. being sick.
other [new] awesome things you do. pulling yourself up on everything, crawling (and sometimes crawling faster if I chase you), pushing a cart by walking, walking along furniture, lean in for kisses (or nose rubs), dancing (i think?), climbing stairs*
xo Elijah.
*note: For stair climbing you aren't interested to go over and try to climb them yourself... yet.
5 months.
weight. hum... must be over 15lbs. I haven't weighed him in a while. Who has a good scale?
height. 72 cm
eyes. big, blue and sparkly. The women love them.
hair. You are getting a bit more hair on top. A bit. It's covering your soft spot
feeding. like a champ!
sleeping . regular daily naps. what! what! We're talking 2+ hours at a time. Yay!
pooping. Still nice and healthy. I am not looking forward to solid food poop. nooooooo...
things you love. your Jolly Jumper, putting all things in your mouth, swimming in the pool, snack time, talking, scooting around in a circle on your tummy, Barnyard Dance, kisses, holding your toes (and weenie)
things you don’t love. Not too much. You're pretty chill.
other [new] awesome things you do. grasp and reach for things with two hands, push up onto your hands, scoot around on the floor, talk back and forth (like you are having a conversation with someone).
xo Elijah.
