9 months old

I have officially become a bad blogger. I am so sorry.  Here are Elijah’s 9 month pictures 16 days late.  What can I say, we’ve been busy.  His bottom two teeth are about halfway in now. He’s scooting forward all over the place on his elbows and belly and has the rug burns to prove it.  Every once in a while the knees go up but he hasn’t figured out how to get his hands up too.  He can pull him self up to standing in his crib but usually falls over.  He loves bath time.  As soon as I go near the tub he leans over to get in.  His new favorite thing is to splash the water.  He likes to hit tables or any hard surface with his hands like he’s drumming well the same goes for the surface of the water.  The progression of pictures is a great example of how these sessions go.

Sitting nicely in my chair with my monkey.  Yay everyone is looking at me.

8 months old

Elijah is 8 months old!  He is very close to crawling and loves to play on the floor and roll around.  The boy loves piano but i’ll do an entire post about that separately.  He is so curious about the world around him.  He loves to pound on things with his hands, everything becomes a drum, tables, books, laptops you name it. He is saying Mamamamamamama and Dadadadadada and Bababababa all the time but I don’t think he’s made the connection yet with the meaning. He continues to be a happy baby most of the time and we are enjoying every minute.

7 months old

Elijah boy (as we often call him) is seven months old and has been for a few weeks. I apologize for the lack of posts, my computer died. Elijah continues to be a delightful baby. He is very distractible these days and curious about everything. He LOVES Plato (our dog) and smiles every time he sees him. He is sitting up well and likes to sit and play with his toys. Solid foods are going well but he absolutely LOVES bananas. When I feed him anything else I have to encourage him to open his mouth to eat. But with bananas, he holds it open as if demanding more. He has recently begun the first signs of scooting on his belly.

Our baby parade shots are getting more interesting as he becomes more mobile. Enjoy!

6 months old

Elijah Wolfgang Zimmerman is 6 months old.  He is a delightful little baby.  His fun little personality makes us smile everyday.  He is sitting up on his own  and rolling over.  His favorite things to do are; grabbing his feet and pulling off his socks, watching Plato our dog, hanging out with Daddy and taking his pacifier out of his mouth and attempting to put it back himself.    He wants to touch anything and everything within his reach.  If he can get his hands on it, straight into the mouth it goes (just like the monkey in the picture below), I love how he looks at the world around him as if there is so much to see and explore.  Enjoy the photos!

5 months old

Here is Elijah at 5 months old!  He is more fun every month.  He is rolling over from his tummy to his back every once in a while.  He is starting to grab anything within his reach and he smiles and laughs at anyone who will look at him.  He just loves people.  He is a delight!

4 months old

Our big boy is four months old. He is all giggles and smiles. He is getting much better at reaching out and grabbing things. He still wants to be up and watching what’s going on all the time. He rolled over from his tummy to his back once and is REALLY close at rolling from back to tummy. Any day now. Enjoy the baby parade!

3 Months Old

It’s hard to believe that my little guy is three months old already.  He just gets more fun by the day.  He smiles and coos and laughs and laughs.  Don’t get me wrong, he does plenty of crying too!  But that smiling face is such a joy to see everyday.

The outtakes this time were too cute not to post.  Enjoy!
