Elijah is 5 Months Old!

Elijah is 5 months old today, and we are so in love with him. We weighed and measured him today, and although I'm pretty sure we did not get completely accurate measurements, he is weighing in at 14 lbs. 6 oz. and measuring 25 3/4" in length. He seems to get cuter and cuter each day and is always doing something new. Just yesterday, he decided to say his first word which was, "Oh". Actually, that is the word for lotus root in Chinese, and we were just sure he was asking for some. He continues to love Chinese people more and more, and even gave a huge smile to a grandmother with missing teeth just the other day. He enjoys playing with all kinds of toys, and he loves for David to play the guitar for him. He still loves bathtime and morning time (definitely his daddy's boy in these areas). He loves rides in the stroller and playing with other babies. He has started doing cute things like burrying his head in our chest and rubbing his eyes when he is tired. We still have lots of fun names for him like "Little Papoose", "Babycakes", and "Sweet Cheeks". What a blessing Elijah has been to us these 5 months.
