Eli is 9 months old!!

Eli is growing up so fast! He is such a big boy now. He has done so much over the past few months. Eli is crawling now- the video below shows him during the early stages. Eli also sits in the shopping cart now. He loves to go shopping just so he can look at everyone coming by. Eli has become a really GREAT sleeper in the past month- this makes mommy and daddy very happy! He eats finger foods really good. Eli has so many new toys to play with that he has trouble deciding which one to go to first. Jake and I really enjoy our little boy! I have 2 favorite times of the day: 1. Waking Eli up in the morning because he always has a smile on his face. 2. Picking him up from Paula's- he starts to kick his feet and flap his arms when he sees me and daddy!

Weight: 19.8

Height: 28 inches

Eli crawling!

Eli LOVES to babble! At the very end of the video, I say hi to him and it sounds like he says hi back to me!

hanging out in CS

I took Eli to the doctor on Tuesday. He has a double ear infection AND bronchitis. We spent the rest of the week hanging out at the house. Here are a few pics of us!

This blanket was made for Eli by one of Mrs. Prukop's customers. I absolutely love it and ( as you can see ) so does Eli!

This is sad to say, but this may have been the first time he has sat in grass. The weather has been really bad lately. Can you tell by his face?

He doesn't seem to be enjoying himself.

What are you looking at!!??

Smiles like his daddy

Watching the office with mommy

His crib buddy- wonder what they talk about when I'm not there!

CHRISTMAS!!!!

We were in Victoria for Christmas and I was only able to take a few pictures. We had a great first Christmas though. Eli got lots of toys from his wonderful families! Pics of him playing with the toys are coming later! Enjoy!

Can you tell that I am tired?

This was a picture of Eli at the 2nd Christmas- there were 3. Poor kid- we didn't know that he had a double ear infection at the time.

Uncle Mark scares him- jk!
