So Eli is 9 months now and I feel like I haven't done many updates on him lately, so I thought I would let you know what he's been up to and what he likes to do these days.
- He has started bouncing when he hears music and it's pretty much the cutest thing ever. :)
- He loves to feed himself crackers and, as of 2 days ago, cheerios (he used to not be able to get those from his hand to his mouth)
- He doesn't crawl yet, but he moves - he can scoot forward on his bum, scoot around in a circle and backwards on his tummy (using his hands), go from sitting onto his tummy, and roll around a lot; so although there is no crawling, he gets around just fine
- He loves books now - he loves to turn pages and he really likes the "touch and feel" books; he sticks his little pointer finger out and feels everything
- We don't swaddle him for sleeping anymore; it was great while it lasted! (until about 7 1/2 months) but now he's too much of a mover (it's always fun to see what odd position he's in when I go get him)
(And yes, he now sleeps with that little doggy. After his sleep got all messed up from being sick, I started using that and, long story short, he goes to sleep much easier now).- He can clap his hands and loves to do it when I say "yea" and clap my hands
- He loves to bang his toys together and make noise - that's the sign of a good toy for him
- He still adores the bath
- He likes to jabber and experiment with his voice - singer in training
- His hair still sticks up a lot, but the front is laying down some and the back now curls backwards
- He loves when his daddy comes home....but his mommy is still his favorite (yessss)
That's what's new with the little guy! He's still adorable and smiley and happy and wonderful. He loves to learn more about the world and we love to watch him do it.

What a cutie :) It's so crazy how fast they grow up. And I can't believe he was swaddled for so long! Not that I think it's bad--whatever makes him happy! And that picture of him with his doggy is dang cute :)
Thank you again for sharing those darling pictures. He is growing up so fast and he is such a adorable little boy. It is fun to see him progressing and having so much fun discovering the world around him.
It's so much fun to see all those developments with our children. Reading this list about Eli made me think of Emma, and how she took those same steps years ago.
I love how his hair sticks up! So cute. :)
It's good that he likes books already. I read to Emma very early on, and now one of her favorite things is to read books. It helps their little brains so much.
He sounds like a mover and a shaker. Ben didn't crawl until he was 12 months old and I was grateful!
