Chubby thighs

I knew Elijah's thighs were getting chunkier, but I had no idea he would weigh 16-1/2 lbs at his 6-month check-up. It's no wonder my arms and shoulders have been hurting so much lately. He is now in the 50th percentile for height and weight! He has always been around the 5th percentile, so this is a dramatic jump up the charts for him. This Friday is his big cardiology appt, so we'll hopefully have more heart news after that visit.

Some exciting news--Elijah rolled over for the first time yesterday! Dan and I were both watching him play on his tummy, which he has been tolerating a bit more lately, and plop...over he went onto his back. We both started cheering and clapping and Eli didn't know what to think of all the commotion. He's such a sweet little pumpkin.


Snoozing in my arms...look at the chub on that thigh! Love it!
