11 months
Aaaaah!!! Time is going too fast! This kid is 11 months old today! I can't believe he will be 1 next month. Where does time go?
Elijah is such a sweet kid. He is totally chill unless he has a stinky diaper (in which case he's hanging on my leg asking to be picked up so I can change him), hungry, or sleepy.
He has been our slowest walker. He started taking steps at 9 ish months but he still isn't walking everywhere. His record is 9 steps. He has excellent balance and can stand all day long with out holding onto anything, but lacks confidence in the walking area. He wants to hold someone's hand to walk and doesn't really use it for support much. It will be fun when he finally realizes he can do it.
He LOVES playing outside and LOVES digging in the dirt. It's seriously one of his favorite things ever. I have a hard time just letting him do it though because our yard is full of sticka burs. He never complains about them though. He is too happy playing.
He still takes 2 naps a day.
He is still nursing. He is going to be REALLY sad to give that up. I usually stop nursing when they turn 1, but I'm not sure either of us are ready for that.
Elijah can blow on things and it is the cutest thing ever.
He has started folding his arms at prayer time and it's adorable.
If he doesn't want the food on his tray, he throws it on the floor. It's not so adorable.
He seems littler than my other kids did at this age. My other two were in such a hurry to grow up and wanted so much to be big, and Elijah wants to be big too, but he seems more innocent and little than my other two did. Probably because Rachel started talking so early and Kent was sooooo into everything.
He weighs 25 pounds.
He wears size 18 month pants and 2T shirts.
He loves to get down and play. He's not content to sit in my lap for very long, which makes church and co op hard.
He bites. And he laughs about it.
He still only has 2 teeth.
He loves his family so much. It's so fun to see him play with the other kids or yell da! To get Jacob's attention. He absolutely lights up when he sees me and can't help laughing and smiling when I pick him up and hold him.
He is such a good boy and I just love him so much.
First jar meal class!
I had a few ladies over on Tuesday and we made a bunch of Lasagna Soup Jat meals. It was so fun! I've been wanting to make a bunch of jar meals ever since I signed up as a thrive consultant! I have now set up a monthly jar meal class where I will order all of the product and people will come over and put their jar meals together at my house. I hope it helps other people. Anyway, Tuesday was a little crazy because I couldn't get my food saver to work. Thankfully someone in my ward had one that she let me borrow. Anyway, here is a picture of the jar meals. I think they are pretty. :)
And the set up:
