He has a plethora of names: Elias (pronounced both the German and the English way), Baby Li-Li (which we use all the time), Liles (John&#8217;s new favorite), Eli, Genghis Khan (as one of the missionaries here calls him), and lots of names that people who can&#8217;t remember &#8220;Elias&#8221; have called him: Elijah, Elisa, Levi&#8230; close enough.<\/p>\n<p>2. His favorite foods (so far) seem to be oranges and pears, but he&#8217;s devoured (= gummed it like he&#8217;s starving) anything from crackers to chicken to rice.<\/p>\n<p>3. He&#8217;s a belly-sleeper! Just a couple of days ago he started rolling over whenever he sleeps and stays like that either because he likes it or because he&#8217;s stuck and doesn&#8217;t have enough room to roll back&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>4. He loves to smile and laugh. A LOT! It&#8217;s so fun to hear him giggle and snort, especially when he&#8217;s tired&#8230; then everything is just<em> hilarious<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>5. He&#8217;s starting to get attached to his Mommy. He often whines now when I don&#8217;t hold him and he sees me, and the other day, he cried for the first time when I dropped him off in childcare. Sad, but a blessing to be needed by my baby \u00a0(remind me I said that next time both boys cry for me!).<\/p>\n<p>6. He can sit up &#8220;all my byself&#8221; ( as my precious niece Elliott would say); still a little wobbly, but quite proud of himself!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_501\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-501\" style=\"width: 580px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/asmaraanyan.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/04\/dscn4902-e1397442250967.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-501\" src=\"http:\/\/asmaraanyan.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/04\/dscn4902-e1397442250967.jpg?w=580\" alt=\"As Judah would say: &quot;Look at me!
