hello eliahs here. now that i'm almost 6 months old, mom said it was time i write my first blog. i didn't know what a blog was, so she told me that all my family reads this and it's my chance to tell everyone how i'm doing. well, i've sure been busy! growing, discovering and learning new things. this world is such an exciting place! i like to sit up on my own now, until i get bored, then i tip over - it's fun! when mom and dad put me down on the ground, i can almost roll over but my darn arm keeps getting in the way! it makes me really angry sometimes because they put all my favorite toys all around me and i can't get to them! but my most favorite thing to do is jump in my jumper! at first i thought that's all it did, but a few weeks ago, i discovered this neat little wheel that has all different animals on it - that was pretty cool. but, then last week i found out that my seat turns! and would you believe, there were all kinds of fun animals, colors and buttons behind me the whole time?! my jumper is the best! last week was not so fun for me. my first two teeth came in - boy did that hurt! i tried and tried to tell my mom what was wrong but she didn't understand me, so i decided just to cry instead, that made me feel better. but now i have two little teeth (everyone keeps looking at them saying how cute they are - they sure didn't feel cute coming in). Tonight after dinner, mom let brother and me have some of these round little o things for a snack. they looked kinda like the little wheels on the cars my brother plays with, but when I saw that big brother of mine eating them, I wanted to try too. boy were those good! at first they felt really funny in my mouth but before i knew it i was gobbling them up. i chomped a few with my new teeth but it was more fun opening and closing my mouth like a fishy until they were all soft and mushy. mom kept saying i looked like a trout, what's a trout? mom had that silly black thing with a bright light out again, so she said she'd include some pictures of us eating our snack. i just hope i can get some more of those o's!

well mom says it's past my bedtime so i should be going now. i hope all is well with everyone. enjoy the pictures!

xo,
eliahs
