... that we had Elijah! Boy, does time fly. My sister in law is so much better than me at updating these kinds of things. I can't seem to find the time to sit down and type. There is so much that has happened in the life of the Barton's since Eli was 4 months old (the last time I updated, ha). I will try to recap the past several months from Christmas to lots of friends having BEAUTIFUL babies and my sister in law, Carolyn, getting married on New Years Eve...what a fun wedding it was; Nana Barton graduated college, Daddy (Bryan) got ordained and Elijah is doing so many new things. (I still have not learned how to update videos on here so by the time I get it figured out they will be a bit old but cute none the less.
Eli is now 9 months old and the thoughts that he is about to be 1 VERY SOON blows my mind. He has been such a sweet boy. He is just starting to figure out sleeping longer in the night. Keep in mind I did not say he is sleeping THROUGH THE NIGHT, but he will get up a lot less now then before. He is such a busy body and constantly observing and staying active.
During this year so many of our friends have had babies and some even on their second and third children. It is so great to know that some of our very dear friends have kids around the same age as Eli. It will be great to watch them all play together as they grow up.
Some of Eli's accomplishments over the past several months have been eating and eating more, babbling so much (not sure where that comes from...), sitting up on his own, rolling over, waving (but not sure if it is a combination of 'hi', 'bye', 'come here mom' and 'more of those gold fish please'), and he is crawling!!! That is our newest accomplishment as of a week ago....oh and did I mention he eats a lot...this poor child. If you did not know me you would think that I starved him. He has NO teeth yet but eating up a storm. He gummed up 5 chicken nuggets the other day. He eats everything we eat along with his milk and baby food. It is amazing to watch him put away his food.
