Weight:
Height:
Clothes size: 0-3 month
Shoe size: 1
Diaper size: 1 or 2

Likes: Mickey Mouse, Riding in the stroller, being held in the carrier, Ruth, attention from all his family, formula

Dislikes: being cold, nursing under a cover, bottles when he wants to nurse,

First flight: We typically give our children a grade for flying and while Ruth was our A+ girl at his age, Elijah ranks somewhere in the B-C range. He insisted on staying awake the whole trip and was not as happy to be held. The long wait to be picked up at the end didn't help the situation. We were all happy to be at our hotel once we finally arrived!!!

First Disney trip: Elijah was a trooper at Disney! He seemed to enjoy the characters and was even big enough to ride many of the rides with Mama! He will obviously not remember this adventure so we will have to make another trip in a few years so he can enjoy all the magic that Ruth did.

First time being sick: Elijah started out our trip to Disney with a little cold. It progressively got worse throughout the trip and turned to a hacking cough. After checking in with several medical professionals they told us he was doing ok. It's bark was worse than it's bite. It was still enough to put these parents into a nervous state! The little guy stayed mostly bundled for the second half of the trip.

First Road trip: After Disney Laura and the kids headed back to Mississippi with the Bullock family. He did pretty good for the 15 hour drive. Our kids know their way around a carseat since they ride for an hour at a time to go anywhere.

Mississippi: Elijah met most of his extended family and friends in Mississippi for the first time this month. We were able to spend time in Jackson with the Bagwells, the Bullocks, and the Fosters. In Columbus we spent time with the other Bullocks, Simpons, Blaney's, and the Reynolds. Everyone loved our charmer and he adjusted so well to being out of his normal routine. We believe he may have a little of his Uncle Mike and Papaw Bagwell's calm personality.
