Sorry for another late post...I'm trying to catch up on these monthly updates :)
ELI
You had a blast on Halloween. We went to the Keeling houses to trick or treat and the next day we had the trunk or treat at Spring Creek. You were Olaf, Noah was Sven, Daddy was Kristoff, and Mommy was Princess Anna. You went around collecting candy and making sure to say thank you, you played games, and went on a hay ride. You also got best boy costume :) You were very cute and loved your costume.
We were at the store and we walked by a lady and you told her "I went potty." She congratulated you lol.
You've learned how to wink and look so cute doing it.
You've been doing a great job with your manners with saying thank you, please, you're welcome, yes ma'am, yes sir, etc.
You argue with us all the time. Sometimes you call me sir and I correct you by saying "yes MA'AM." You argue with me back and forth on it.
You're still doing well with the potty training but you have phases where you have accidents frequently. Thankfully, right now is a good phase. You've been telling me when you need to go and holding it until you get there.
You came up to me the other day and said "Christmas...dinosaurs, dolphins, alligator, and another alligator." :) That's what you want for Christmas :) We'll see what Santa brings.
the pumpkin you helped carve.

Eli and mommy at the trunk or treat
I caught Eli reading in the chair
You are 7 months old! You are scooting across the floor while sitting up and you can also scoot backwards when on your belly. You have no interest in crawling yet, but you do get around a little. You're a good boy and don't cry much. You say "mamamama" and "dadadada." You said mama first :) Eli said dada first when he was your age. You are still refusing to take a bottle and you refuse solids. You've been less chunky than usual so I've been concerned because I don't want you to get so skinny like Eli was last year. Since you're refusing solids they're having you evaluated by a specialist to see if you need any help with eating. I'm sure it will be fine, but it can't hurt to go get you looked at.
You have been having trouble sleeping through the night since you were 4 months old. It's crazy...you were sleeping all night long and doing great then when 4 months hit, you started waking every night and haven't stopped. There will be nights here and there that you do sleep through. Mommy has started sleeping really hard and not hearing you get up at all. Poor daddy has to get up during those times..or he just wakes me up. We're trying to keep a box fan in your room running so you'll stay asleep and so far it's worked....we'll see if this keeps up.
You still laugh at Eli and love watching everything he does.
