Elijah: 5 Months

How do you learn to sit up on your own without ever sitting on the floor on your own? The baby who's nearly ALWAYS being carried can now sit up on his own. Sometimes I put him on the floor for a minute. Then the minute is over, he's calling my name and saying, "Mama, would you mind please picking me up because I feel a little small and lonely down here by myself." Or actually he's just screaming at me, as if he's been abandoned and there's a pack of hungry coyotes headed in his direction.

I've heard that babies who need a lot in the beginning can become completely laid-back, relaxed kids that go along with anything later on. I've heard that babies who are born in the 95th percentile for weight and length can turn into toddlers who are smaller than all the other kids around them. Time will tell.

Archer is getting two new teeth. Elijah has no new teeth yet, but he drools a LOT. And that's all for now, folks!
