Elias seems to be growing and growing every day lately. We’re working on feeding him real food. He doesn’t seem to love it, but he does it about half of what goes in (the other half comes back out onto his bib). We’ve been doing rice cereal, but this week we’ve tried sweet potatoes and apples which both got not much interest and a bit of a curled nose. We’re using a new on table high chair (new to us anyway) that’s nice as it cleans up easier and has a tray that gets some of the food. Grandpa Jake also came over for dinner Thursday night and we had some of his 47″ striper he caught at block last weekend. He was amazed at how big Elias is getting and how much he’s moving. Today is actually the day he turns 5 months old as well. It’s amazing how fast time has flown by.

Edit:Katie, Matt and Hayden came over (with BEER AND PIZZA!!!) Saturday afternoon. He had a great time talking about all things baby boys and Hayden had a good time checking out toys he’d outgrown and giving Elias some old clothes. I think Katie is trying to convince someone it’s time to think about #2? Thanks guys!
