Cute Eli

I did a cute Alianna, so I wanted to do cute Eli too. I realized I have a lot of really cute photos I haven't shared yet.

Eli loves plums. If I remove a little skin and the pit, he will pick up the whole thing and eat every last bit, plus a whole lot more food. He is a growing boy and eats a lot!

Eli likes to help unload the dishwasher and chew on everything or throw it on the floor. One day I heard a crash and went in to find him next to the dishwasher with one of our china bowls broken in half next to him on the floor. I don't know how he got it out, but I don't leave the dishwasher open with anything breakable in it anymore.

Eli loves his soft blankets. When he is tired and ready for a nap he takes one and cuddles it and falls right asleep. If ever he finds a soft blanket on the floor, usually fresh from the laundry he does this

Eli is starting to stand! He can do a short while on his own, and loves to push things around and walk. Here he is with one of his favorite toys--a ball popper. The balls pop up, go down a slide, around a loop and pop up again.

Eli loves popcorn

and the bath

He can't quite ride his little bike yet, but it turns into a walker and he loves to push it around.

Eli wants to be big like daddy. He's not quite there yet!
