Elba went for his six month check up this week. I think he actually remembered the doctor from last time getting shots. He started whimpering when he saw him. That is amazing; that was two months ago! Well, he is 17.9 lbs, 27 inches long and 17.33 head circumference. That is 20-50th percentile for weight and 50-75th for the other two. We are starting to even out a bit more. More and more consonants are coming with his babbling. He has said 'dada' but not really on purpose.
I will work on getting pictures and videos up soon; my aunt recently commented that there hasn't been any updates for a while. I'm on it.

6 MONTHS
My mom and sister came for a visit the week before Christmas. I have to say that I really enjoyed them being out and can't wait for their next visit. Of course, seeing them was great but let me also say that the extra help my mom gave was wonderful. Not only did she help with household stuff (laundry, dishes, etc.) but she watched Elba and we didn't have to drop off/pick up and saved that week's daycare money. My mom bought Elba little chair that matches our furniture perfectly and it is so cute!
Our first Christmas was so nice. We woke up and opened present (Elba was most interested in the wrapping paper) then headed over to Mitch's Mom's house. He had to work later that day but I got to come home and play with the Wii Santa brought! The external hard drive Dad sent was also another highlight for me, as my video's and pictures are all backed up now.
New Years was spent over at Mitch's Moms too - very relaxing and safe! I wouldn't have had it any other way.
Our wild and crazy world of pureed food continues to add fun flavors and so far the only thing giving us an issue is the peaches. I think they are too acidic for Elba. I've tried twice now and he seems to puke more than normal on peach days. So, he was at Grandma Janet's house one night and then when we got home he puked up his dinner and kept throwing up. I feared flu setting in, then realized I'm an idiot! Janet has well water and I forgot to tell her not to mix his cereal with it. Lesson learned. Elba is sort of army crawling/scooting around the house. He will be in the living room playing with his toys and then decide he wants to see what is going on in the kitchen and make his way over. It is so cool to see him acting on his intentions. We started the new babysitter after the first and I like her a lot! I think this is going to be great!
