Eli turned 9 months on Saturday (Wow time flies). 9 months means it is time for another well check up. Since the doctor Eli normally sees was not available until May I made an appointment with another doctor. I figured I have not found one I love yet so I will just keep trying. This time I have found the perfect doctor. He was great I loved how he was with Eli, he gave me tons of information, spent lots of time with us, and overall I just liked how he did things. FINALLY after 9 months I found my doctor!! Eli is doing great. He is growing like a little weed! I was worried he stopped because we were all really sick last week with the flu and Eli didn't eat for like 3 days! He got really skinny (ok who am I kidding Eli is still my little round man, but he did get a little bit skinner). The doctor was impressed the Eli has been crawling and pulling himself up he said it wouldn't be too much longer before Eli is walking. I told the doctor I hope he is wrong, and I still have a few more months.
Things I want to remember..
1. Eli has all this funny little quirky things he does for example. Sometimes he squints his eyes and smiles at us. I am not really sure where he got this or what he thinks it means, but he did these a lot for about a week or two. Now he has replaced the squinting with a head bob down. It is so funny. Whenever Jacob and I see him do this we do it back.
2. He loves to push things around our house. He loves to get the vacuum on its side and then push it back and forth or he will spin the wheels to his dad’s bike. After a while I got sick of him playing with these things so on Saturday we went to Target and bought him a new town that he can push around and push all the buttons. He loves it and plays with it all the time!
3. Right now he is in the phase that is not so much fun for me. He follows me around the house and whines when he wants me to pick him up. It is hard for me not to pick him up, but I really don't want to spoil him so I mainly spend my days trying to beat him. For example I try to unload the dishwasher or washing machine before he reaches me. I also do this when vacuuming or putting things up in a certain room. This is becoming very difficult since Eli is getting pretty quick at crawling.
4. We have a snail shower so whenever Eli hears the shower turn on he tries to crawl there as fast as possible and climb in. Jacob and I have a code word we say which means....the baby is crawling in the shower hurry up and get him. The word is Pato (duck is Spanish) I don't know why we say this, but we just do it.
5. Eli LOVES to go for walks. He is fine if I put him in is stroller and walk for hours. He is even pretty good at the mall. He just doesn't like it when I stop and look at something to long. He also loves when we go to the mall, because he loves to play on the toys and pretend he is big like the rest of the kids.
6. Eli still loves everything I give him to eat. This baby just LOVES food. I have given him everything from cakes and cookies to peas, avocados, dates, beans, mushroom (you get the idea) and yet to find something he doesn't like. I am pretty sure his favorite things are strawberries.
7. Eli loves to watch Sesame Street. He will sit and just watch it and he loves Elmo when he comes on. It is so cute! I am not going to lie Jacob and I love the show too.
8. I could go on and on about Eli and how much fun he is. Jacob and I love him so much and cannot get enough of him. Jacob used to be so scared of Eli that he didn't like to be alone with him. Now Jacob gets home from works and plays with him for a while. Jacob is already ready for another baby, I told him not quit yet!
