The West Coast Reynolds: Elijah 5 months

Weight
Height:
Clothes size: 0-3 and 3M
Shoe size:1
Diaper size: 2

Likes: Milk, watching Ruth, being held!, grass, family, playing outside, rice cereal,

Dislikes: bath, the jumper, nursing under a cover, being put down when wanting to be held,

Milestones: We have a Roller!!! I was surprised to walk in to find Elijah laying on his tummy at the end of a nap. It took me a few seconds to realize what had happened and then run to get the camera. No more swaddles for our big boy!!

Eating: We decided along with the pediatriton that it was fine to introduce rice cereal this month. We have a little tiny might who weighs in as a 1% baby. We are hoping to add a little meat to his bones (Though his doctor is not at all concerned) and tip the scales at 2% next month! So far he loves the cereal and getting to hold a spoon.

Dedication: This month we dedicated Elijah's life publicly to God. It was so special to have our church family commit to coming along side us to pointing him in that direction. He wore his great grandfather Wayne Griffin's christening gown for the service. Real life, however, is when your Dad is the pastor and your sister is rolling all over the floor and talking loudly in the prayer because said Dad is preaching the dedication and mom is arms full with a baby. You have landed yourself in a a wild family sweet son!

Our Routine has formed to mostly a 2-3 nap day. He continues to sleep through the night and is fairly flexible with our unpredictable life.
