Eli has changed so much in just the last month. He is around 16 lbs (not very big, but growing great from the tiny little guy he started from). He is still doing awesome on solid food and wants to eat everything we eat. I am still nursing him GO ME!!!! I have been tempted to stop nursing for selfish reasons of wanting to lose weight, but I can't bring myself to do it, so I will probably go for the full year. Really nursing women should get an award for sticking with it for an entire year cause it's not an easy thing to do. I feel bad because I do find myself judging women who don't nurse, even though I only nursed Jaden for a few months and quit cause I hated it. However, I think if you never try nursing (assuming a women can nurse) it is very selfish and you take away a great bonding and healthy thing from your baby. Now of course there are reasons women can't nurse, or try it and just hate it, and I totally get that!
Anyways, back to Eli and enough of nursing hahah. He is sitting up great by himself and rolling from front to back and back to front. Not crawling yet which is totally fine with me (Jaden was a late crawler too, but walked right at a year) so I know Eli will do it when he is ready! He babbles all the time, and it almost sounds like he is saying mama haha wishful thinking. Still a very happy go lucky baby, and is now full time sleeping in his crib. Up until a week ago he was still sleeping in the pack n play in our room at night, and taking naps in his crib. But since we got back from our disaster lake trip last weekend I didn't feel like setting the pack n play back up, so I decided he is ready to sleep in his room ALL the time now.
Teething is still going on ( I hate it) no new teeth have sprung up but I'm guessing it's only a matter of time. Which seriously I hope for the sake of my chest he doesn't get any more soon because he has started to bite when he nurses and it hurts like a B*%$#. I tried flicking him lightly and screaming ouch really loud but he just smiles at me thinking I'm being funny hahah. Eli loves his jumparoo, loves to play with his toys on the ground or sit and watch Jaden do puzzles. His sleeping has back tracked a little, waking up once a night, which is weird cause he eats solids and I stuff him full before bed. Hopefully this is only a growth spurt phase and he will grow out of it soon. I think that's all I can think of for now, so until next....
