Eli standing by himself!

The videos do NOT do Eli justice at all!! He has stood for way longer than I caught on the camera. Here are just a few shots of him!

Eli is 10 months old!

I can't believe my baby boy is already 10 months old!! Time really flies! Eli is growing so fast. He still loves to talk and pulls up on EVERYTHING! I think he is going through a little separation anxiety- only wants mommy- which I LOVE! I know this time will pass where I am not needed as much, so I am enjoying it while I can!

Weight: 22 lbs.

New things: crawls FAST, pulls up on everything and cruises, started standing by himself yesterday.

Here are a few pictures over the past month. I lost my camera battery charger, so I didn't get to take any pictures of Eli with his granny and grandpa Prukop who came to visit us just a few weeks ago. I found my battery charger, so I'm ready to take more pics when we come home in 2 WEEKS!!! yay!

Happy Valentine's Day!!

It's been a while...

This month has gone by so fast that I haven't had any time to sit down and work on my blog. Eli is now a champ at crawling AND pulling up. All he does is crawl around and pull up on things. He loves to play chase with mommy and daddy. Eli is also sprouting out teeth. He got his first tooth and is working on the next two! We have had quite a few ear infections over the last few months which are no fun at all! Eli has been lucky to have his family come and visit him too! We've had visits from Grandma and Grandpa Prukop, Granny Mary, Aunt Meg, Uncle Matt and Aunt Kara! Eli loves it when he gets to see his family! He will be 10 months next week! Yay!

Here is a video of him laughing at his Aunt Meg- she made a surprise visit to see us!
