A lot has changed in the past year. Eli has gone from 7lbs 8oz to 21lbs 14oz. We celebrated his first birthday at the park with friends and family. And of course, he LOVED his first cupcake.

11 Months old!

       

Swinging, crawling, climbing up, and into everything. We love it!!

Busy Boy!

A lot has changed in the past month with Mr. Eli.  He is such a sweet, happy, curious little man.  We love all the new things that he is doing and learning. Every morning we usually go on a walk after breakfast and then spend some time in his room reading books and playing with some toys before naptime. 

Another daily occurrence is climbing up to stand at the back door looking at Oakley and leaving tiny fingerprints on the window. :)

          

Recently we have started waiting by the back window for Jeff to come home.  Eli thinks it is so exciting to see the Jeep pull up the driveway.  And yes, he is obsessed with the Jeep.  He can pick it out in the parking lot and loves to sit in the passenger seat.

He has also discovered the magnets on our magnet/chalkboard in the kitchen.  He loves to take them off and crawl around with them. 

This little guy has started crawling so fast that I can barely get a picture of him going down the hall. 

And finally, Eli enjoys walking with the push toy.  He gets so excited sometimes that he is an out of control driver. 

Boys at the bog

Eli had his buddy Ollie come over and play today.  We headed over to the bog garden to see the ducks and, of course, play in the water.  :)

They had a blast. 

10 Months Old

  Another month down before the big 1.  This little guy is such a joy.  He is all over the place crawling and climbing to stand up onto things.  He still has 6 teeth and continues to sleep great. 

And we’re back!!

This past month or so has been packed full of vacations and activities that I just have not gotten around to posting new stuff. Some of the things that have been missed are Eli turning 9 months old!!  He now weighs 17 lbs 10.5oz and is 27 inches long.  He is eating all table food now which he LOVES! It has been so great to be able to put the food on his table and let him go to town.  No more having to feed him!!

He has 6 teeth.

He is doing a good amount of crawling and standing up holding on to stuff.   He still loves to just sit and play with a toy. 

Jeff took a week off from work and we had all intentions of having a staycation and going to the pool all week but instead Jeff and I went to the beach for a few days all alone.  It was much needed and we had a great time. Plus it was free thanks to Hilton Honor points! 

After we came back from the beach we headed up to the mountains and enjoyed some great time with family.  Eli LOVES all the attention. 

Hiking with Daddy!

 

  Hanging out in the hammock with Aunt Cathy

Hanging out with Matt and Whitney

Eli loves to take a bath in the sink.  We have started to do this more and more since it is so much easier to clean.

How many people does it take to watch Eli get a back?!? He is definitely loved!

Even though we did not end up having a staycation at home we did have a great week having Jeff home and spending time together.
