Four Months Going on Five

Wow, I didn't realize that the time had flown by since I have last posted. Joe and I are so blessed with Elijah. We are enjoying every moment watching him grow, and I think we love him more and more every day. His personality is beginning to shine and he shows both of our traits. He is still nursing and we will begin baby cereal very soon. He is showing a lot of interest in food so we are beginning to gear up and start the food making process. We will be very cautious with Elijah's food choices because of allergies, and we want to build a healthy immune system. When we decide to begin introducing food to him, we will be making his food. This is so we can give him the most natural foods to control what goes into his system such as sugar or any preservatives. Most of all we will continue to push the nursing.

A new milestone that Elijah has conquered: he has been rolling over from back to tummy. He can roll off of his tummy but he gets frustrated with it. Very soon we will have a crawler! Since he can roll now he has found out that he likes to sleep on his tummy, which makes me very very nervous but there is not much you can do :)

Elijah was dedicated in our church on 10/16. It was such a wonderful service and we were very blessed that both sides of our family could come. We know that this is only the beginning of Elijah's walk of faith and we can't wait to see where God will lead him.

Elijah also had his first Halloween. Joe and I are not big on Halloween so we are hoping in the years to come that we will call it Fall Halloween/Fall Harvest and find some festivities in the church or fun gatherings. We really didn't do anything special but took some pictures.

Over all the last few months have been wonderful and we can't wait to continue to see our little guy grow. Joe and I hope you are all doing well. We miss you all!
