Some things Eli is up to at this time...
Loves:
1. being in the exersaucer
2. silly faces/noises
3. bath time
4. mirrors
5. playing with his feet
6. squawking
7. being on his *back* in his activity gym
8. car rides
9. simon/macy/small living things that move in general
10. chewing on literally anything that will fit in his mouth
11. watching people talk
12. books (chewing on, of course)
13. sitting in the bumbo
He has not yet rolled from his back to his front. He has rolled front to back a total of 9 times. He has to be reeeeally motivated to do it. Otherwise he's pretty content on his back and can't be bothered to roll around.
He has also been practicing "sitting up". He can tripod sit for a few seconds and sometimes can balance himself the old fashioned way but obviously, being only 5 months old, he just tips over, haha. I'm hoping he can sit up ;ong enough for his 6 month photos, which I am working on scheduling!
Eli on his 5 month birthday!
Here is a pretty crappy job on a panorama of Eli's room as it currently stands. I ignored currently standards and got some crib bedding with a bumper pad. In his case, I am more worried about his leg getting stuck in the bars than suffocating, as he was waking up many nights kicking the side of his crib. Plus it's super cute and I got the entire set for $35 at Once Upon a Child!
Also, still no tooth yet, and he hasn't had any solid foods. I'm planning on starting that after talking with his pediatrician about the best options at his 6 month checkup!
*Also to note, I recently received a mother/baby scale and according to it Eli weighs TWENTY POUNDS. if that's true, he gained almost 3 entire pounds in about a month and a week.
*Correction: He weighs 18.8 pounds. I tried it a few more times. It makes more sense, especially since he has had a cold this ENTIRE month so far and hasn't been eating as much as usual.
