What next?!

Yesterday Eli figured out a new trick..

.


Yep, he climbs up the rails until he can get both feet on his mattress then flings his whole body over the rail. Thus far, he has yet to figure out how to get back down, but I'm thinking it is inevitable so if anyone has any good suggestions for the transition to the toddler bed it looks like we will soon be needing them...

Eli's 18 months old!

Eli is now 18 months old and I thought it would be fun to post about him. I can't believe how fast he grew up. He babbles alot but I can now distinguish: some, peas (please), all go (all gone), num num (yumyum), bubbas (bubbles), cat, ball, bid (bird), Izzy down (he loves to yell this at my mom's dog), mom, daddad, shush (shoes), No! (he loves to tell us no anytime we want him to do anything),Elmo (this is sort of just a noise he makes but I know what he's saying) and he just learned to say football (it's the cutest thing!). He loves vegetables, fruit, chocolate, noodles (of any sort) and waffles. His favorite things to do include: watching Elmo, dancing to music, being outside, playing basketball,playing with his cousins, or wrestling with them...and he especially loves malling our cat! He is so much fun and I love him so much for the happiness he brings to me!!

Sleepy Head!

Haha! My amazing babysitter Roseanna took these pictures of Eli who fell asleep at the table after they had lunch. I love how he progressively gets closer to the table! It's funny how they seem to just crash sometimes and it doesn't matter where they are!!

spring fever!

.
Well I have developed a strong case of spring fever. I know it's only February but I am so done with winter. We went outside and played in the porch swing, attempted to play basketball and went for a walk. It looked alot warmer than it was (hence the pic of his cold, red nose) but it still was so nice to get some fresh air. I thought these pictures of Eli were really cute!

My baby thinks he is a MONKEY!

Today, I decided my house was in need of some deep cleaning. So, I started dusting in Eli's room. Well he figured out how to climb up onto his changing table. And how to see out the blinds. But, then he couldn't figure out how to get down...once I helped him down, he climbed right back up! He also figured out how to climb up onto our makeshift tv stand and get the dvd's down. Hmm...what am I going to do with him?? And why do they always look so cute when they know they are doing something wrong??!

New Pictures

These are Eli's new pictures. He did so good, it was
a huge improvement over my experience
at Wal-Mart, and much cuter
backgrounds!
