19lbs and counting!!!

Well Eli now weighs 19lbs, I know what a chunker. I am not going to be able to carry him in his carseat now because he is sooo heavy. He is also 69.5 cm long (not sure what that is in inches). We met his new health visitor on Monday and she was so nice. She answered all the questions we had and said not to worry about Eli drinking his milk as he loves his solids and in a month that will be what is most important. He has now eaten potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, butternut squash and apples. We tried avocado last night but he was full so he just wasnt interested in it but he seems in different to what he eats, his facial expression never changes, which I guess is good. We recently bought him a new high chair and he loves it he is able to sit at the table with us. Our friends also lent us a new toy for him to jump in which he loves (i will put new pics on soon).

Here in England, it was mothering Sunday this past week and it was a beautiful day. I was able to sleep until 8am (Eli has been getting up at 630 am most mornings) and had waffles brought to me in bed. Eli got me a nice new stroller for mothers day, one that should be easier to maneuver around town. We have only taken it out once as the weather has not been great and we only got the rain cover today.

We went to swimming lessons yesterday and each week I am amazed at how much he loves it. This week he got so excited when we got in the pool. We are going to try and go swimming on Sunday with Daddy as he doesnt get to see how well Eli is in the water as he is at work.

Eli is napping so I should try to get some things done.
