elias is now five months old. during month five he celebrated his first christmas, with multiple family christmas get-togethers. he also made his first trip to coney island - a family tradition at christmastime that he will be a part of for many years to come.
as far as growth and development, we are not exactly sure how much he weighs or how long he is - we have actually been able to avoid trips to the doctor this month...hurray! so we have not had a weight check. he is obviously growing though. eating has been getting easier and easier. he is eating more with less complications. sleeping is still very tricky, but we have enough of a system in place for ourselves that it works for now. elias loves to watch us (an anyone else he sees) eat. it is clear that even though he has not been great with the formula, he will follow in the our footsteps as a food lover.
he is still teething, although no teeth yet. this makes for some challenging moments of crying and fussing for sure. with the teething comes tons of slobbering as well - as you can see in many of his pictures. elias is very squirmy, on the move whenever he is awake. he is difficult to hold most of the time because he wants to be moving...as a result, his horse jumper has been his favorite (and ours too :-) he continues to smile almost all the time and brings such joy to us and many others. when he giggles, it is unbelievably awesome!
