choo choo

again i am amazed at how fast these weeks are flying by. elias is 29 weeks and next week he will be 7 months old! i thought i would catch you up on all that has been happening in our lives since the last blog post almost 1 month ago.

we left off with elias working hard at coordinating his arms and legs to crawl. well, let us just say that bandit now has to be careful and we need to keep a watchful eye! he is a little locomotive now.

elias has also cut his first teeth! the bottom two teeth are visible... and adorable. teething has caused a little more fussiness than usual but nothing too terrible. i think the teething process hurts mommy a little more than baby, and what i mean by that is that we might be moving to full-time bottle sooner than later!
and elias tries to fit everything into his mouth...

here he is trying to eat a red potato

teething biscuit

we also spent an evening at the seattle aquarium and elias had so much fun in the tide pools.

grandpa and grandma visited this month as well. they were able to spend some quality time with elias while the parents went to their first movie in over 6 months!

goofy grandpa elicited many giggles over the weekend.

and loving grandma gave millions of kisses.

what a month! please keep our family in prayer as we approach some big decisions in the coming weeks.
