Elias Enrique Ramirez

One smile at this guy and he’ll smile back. Precious. 

The year of the rat was celebrated today with family. Elias donned his Kung Fu outfit in honor of this day. It really is a blessing to celebrate and recognize a part of who Elias is. 

Here’s Elias, eating as he waits to get checked by the doctor for his 9-month visit. He’s in the 90th percentile for weight, 90th percentile for head circumference, and 69th percentile for height. He’s a big boy. 

This happened last week. Not on my watch, though. Yikes. 

Elias is always wanting to stand up these days. He’s gotten really good at pulling himself up. 

Elias turns 9 months today!  I can’t believe how fast the time has gone, and I can’t believe how big he is. Here he is showing off his belly. 

Here’s Elias drinking water. Mami says it’s supposed to help with language development by drinking from a cup instead of a sippy cup. Where do these crazy old wive’s tales come from?!

This guy is fussy and has a sight fever. He may be teething!

Two weeks flew by, which means I’ll see less of this cute, little face each day.

Elias took his first trip to Sea World, and this is how he pretty much spent the time. He doesn’t look happy.  Although, he did get to spend time with his sisters and cousin.
