What's he up to?
*He has 8 teeth now and is working on cutting his molars.
*He is walking, running, climbing, falling...basically doing all the things a little daredevil 18 month old would do.
*He is taking just one nap now, which is very nice cause it means we can be out and about all morning.
*He still loves his early bedtime and crashes at 6:30 every night. He sleeps till 6:30 or so in the morning. We are very blessed!
*He is definitely talking much more. He isn't stringing together two or three words much yet but he has TONS of words, too many to list here. He is repeating all sorts of things and tries to say anything we ask him to, including things like velcro and Jello and the like.
*He is wearing almost all 18 month clothing and a size 5 shoe (small feet).
*We have taken a break from cloth diapering for a variety of reasons and Eli is in size 4 diapers (same as Jayden, ha ha).
*Eli is as mellow as they come for the most part. He loves his mommy and daddy, loves his brother, and loves to be outside. He can get quite mad when he decides to be but for the most part is content to play and go with the flow. He is quite the cuddler and will often reach up and say, "Ma-meee" (his name for me right now) just so I'll pick him up and cuddle him. Needless to say, this MELTS my heart.
*Other than that, he has recently had an ear infection so bad that his eardrum ruptured. In his mellow, unaffected way he complained just a little. We took him in thinking he had an ear infection but had no idea it had gotten so bad! This kid amazes me!! He also has been fighting off a stomach bug the past week or so. Poor little guy. You wouldn't know it from him, though. He just cruises along, happy as can be!!!
We also think he is just ADORABLE, so feast your eyes on these shots from today!
Sweet Eli, we could NOT love you more but somehow manage to still fall more in love with you every day. We thank God for your surprise life, and the gift of raising you and calling you our son!!
