8 months old

At 8 months old, Ely is:
28 inches in length - 25-50%
19.5 pounds - 25-50%
19 inches head circumference - 95%

Ely is growing up to be a very happy sweet boy. He loves to smile and laugh. He also helped his friend Kaylie recover from a fall as she cried. He patted her tummy while he waited for Mayboobae to help Kaylie. Ely also cries when he thinks that he hurt someone (if someone says "ouch" after he hits someone).

(Sorry Ely.....you are just so cute when you make that face!).


Ely is starting to scoot. He will be crawling very soon. He has perfected his rolling technique and can roll around very quickly to anywhere. Ely has especially taken a liking to my laptop and whenever I am on the laptop, Ely will roll over to me. He likes to pound on the keyboard and act like he is doing something very important.

Today I made Ely organic quinoa and avocado for dinner. He ate lots of it. I made so much of it and there was still a ton left after I filled up little containers for the freezer. There was even enough for Toby and Charlie. They enjoyed eating it too. Toby wasn't too sure at first but once he saw Charlie eating it, Toby decided that it was not bad at all either.

Ely's first word is "hi". It's hard to record him saying it because he only says it once when he sees us. He is starting to say "hi" and raise his arm at the same time. Ely is growing up so fast!

We love you Ely! We're so grateful that you are growing up to be such a healthy, happy, sweet boy! We look forward to your first walk, your second word, first full sentences, ...... we can't wait!
