New things our baby boy is doing:
Clapping is the newest :) Just started this on Tuesday - Grammy Linda claps with him every morning - to suzuki rythms like "pepp-er-on-ni-piz-za"
Army crawling - not yet fully crawling but moving quite fast on our belly.
Laughing - this is becoming more pronounced - haven't quite heard the "belly laugh" yet but I think it's close!
Sippy cup - we're trying to get this down so we can stay hydrated with all the new solids in our diet
Foods - new ones include green beans, plain yogurt, prunes (a little early but he needed them!!), peaches - bananas and yogurt remain the favorites

WOW .. I just can't believe how well he's doing. 25th percentile is really amazing. Eli has never made it above the 5th percentile for weight (his highest, which is now) in the year that he's been home. And like Micah, he wasn't even on the charts at first. Being the son of a nutritionist must have its benefits! I'm sooooo glad to hear he's doing so well! And I'm so glad to see the "thunder thighs" ... we never had those, and I think they are the cutest things!!! We hope to see beautiful Micah again soon!
