Back to boring baby!

After a really busy day on Saturday, we just relaxed for a few days.  On Sunday, you weren't feeling well so the 3 of us hung out at home.  We played, we took a family nap and we did silly things.  We made homemade chocolate chip ice cream.  We used the egg whites to make an angel food cake and you loved that batter.   We worked on perfecting my chicken salad recipe - we are getting closer.

On Monday, you hung out with Gramma Debbie then we were boring at home.  Eat, play, sleep.  You crashed on my lap around 7:30.  We were talking and playing then all of a sudden, you were buried in me and sleeping.  I think you still weren't feeling well and needed some extra sleep.

On Tuesday, you woke me up at 5:30.  We watched tv, we played, we took a bath, we had a banana and cereal.  After all that, it still wasn't time to go to Mary's but daddy took you anyway.  I could tell you were getting tired.  She called me about 45 minutes later asking if I had given you any medicine as you were passing out on your highchair.  I let her know how tired you were.  You took an hour nap in the morning and a 3 hour nap in the afternoon.  Way to go Elijah!

Daddy and I picked you up for your 15 month checkup.  You are growing like you should - 44.75% weight (24 lbs), 87% height (33") and 85% head.  You used to be in the 95% height category but you must be slowing down dude!!  She did find an ear infection so we are back on antibiotics again.  Next ear infection gets us sent to ENT to investigate tubes in your ears.  I would guess that will happen in the next two months.

After the doctor, we had our senior citizen traditional dinner at Texas Roadhouse.  Our dr appointments are normally at 4 and we have dinner at 4:30.  You did great at dinner and you ate well.  Then, it was back home, play, drive Gramma Ruth and Andrew to a play, play, crash early again.

You have started doing something so funny.  It kills me.  When you bit me or your daddy, we will take 2-3 fingers and we will tap/pop your mouth and say "No bite."  So, when I see you go to bite me, I will say "Don't you bite me Elijah."  You look up and now you start smacking yourself in the mouth.  Too funny.

You are obsessed with my sunflower seeds addiction.  You want in on that action so badly.  But, you can't have them.

Finally, you have devised a new form of eating your snacks.  You will grab three crackers out of a box.  You will give one to Luke, one to Padi and then one for Elijah.  It is so nice of you to share with the dogs.  First step in training you to share with others I guess!

On the topic of eating, you are loving playing with forks, spoons and big boy glasses.  We are going to have to start working with you more to get you up to speed on how to use them.  Right now, you are just starting to learn the basics and it is still fun for you.

That is about it buddy.  Share more this weekend  :)
