Elijah 6 month update

Elijah is 6 months old!

Here's all about Elijah right now

Food: Elijah started solid food last month.  I dragged my feet and waited on this, but the little guy is hungry! We now eats about 3 times a day and he likes everything we have tried so far.

Rolling: Elijah learned how to roll last month.  The only problem with this is that he still hates to be on his belly.  Here's our pattern now: Elijah rolls onto his belly, Elijah screams and won't roll back over eventhough he can, I flip him back onto his back, Elijah waits about 10 seconds and then rolls back onto his belly.  Repeat this process about 25 times and it's a party. :)

Laughing: Elijah loves to laugh and I love to make him laugh.  He is really one of the happiest babies I have ever seen.  Even when I put him to bed he kind of just babbles himself to sleep.

Sleep: Elijah is still taking 3 naps a day right now: a one hour nap in early morning, a two hour nap in the late afternoon, and a two hour nap in the afternoon.  This is a great schedule.  Elijah really does prefer to sleep in a crib or pack and play now, he does not sleep very long in his carseat anymore.  Elijah wakes up from his afternoon nap around 4:00.  This leads to an early bedtime.  Elijah usually is ready for bed around 6:15pm, and he wakes up between 6 and 7 in the morning.

The head shake: Elijah learned to shake his head "no" this past week.  We laughed at first, now he finds this hilarious.  He shakes his head no to pretty much every question that we ask him.

The stowaway

The beginning of January Daniel and I packed up Nathan, and our best friend Joanna and headed to Florida for two weeks. We stayed with Daniel's mom in Daytona Beach for a few days. Then, my parents met us so we could all go on a cruise together; 5 glorious days of fun and food. We had a great time. Lots of sun, sand, and being waited on. We loved it. And now, it turns out, we're going to have a permanent souvenir from our trip. We brought back a stowaway....in my womb. That's right, baby Goulet #2 is on the way. I'm due October 3. Exactly three weeks before Nathans 2nd birthday. All I can say is if baby #2 looks or acts like this guy, my heart's going to explode. Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

Warning: Cute overload ahead.

Ode to our awesome friend, Jenna. Jenna is our incredibly funny, caring and all around wonderful neighbor. Not only can she sing, play guitar, have great hair and tie a scarf in 25 different ways, she also can take awesome pictures. Like the pictures that she took of me while I was 9 months pregnant, anyone that can make a hugely pregnant woman look comfortable deserves a medal. She took this belly picture of me: Jenna is also chronically Nathan's growth. She came over the other night to take some Christmas card/one month old pictures. Let's just say that Nathan is not the easiest subject to work with. You have to work around the fact that he doesn't focus, has little head control, and favors looking to the right. Despite these challenges Jenna just sent us these pictures. I can barely handle the cuteness, it makes me temporarily forget the 51 pound weight gain, weeks of puking, and hours of labor. This face makes me become delusional enough to think of how many
