Eli is learning more words constantly. He seems to try to hold a conversation, that is till he realizes we have no idea what he is saying. He tries to talk constantly, food, TV, and the Nuk are the only things that really pose enough of a distraction to slow him down. He will ask for the TV by name, while pointing of coarse.

Eli has become a huge
Thomas the Tank Engine fan. He watches it regularly in Sara's car, and he has some Thomas slippers. Those have become an absolute favorite in the past few days, in fact I think he took one to bed with him tonight. We have been reading a Thomas book for some time now, and every time he sees Thomas on a new page Eli says "peep peep"... its pretty adorable.

Eli has become better at communicating, but some times he just thinks he can get what he wants on his own. He thinks he can get into his highchair by himself, here he is pulling himself up, notice how he only has one toe touching. He is serious about wanting to get up there, now! He thinks if he pulls hard enough he will get up there, and he is right. We would rather pick him up then have him tip it over on himself...

Eli has had this Tupperware bowl as long as he has had toys. We have been putting toys in it for him forever. Recently he has started dumping the toys out and wearing it as a hat. I thought he was pretty cute, he didn't think it was a big deal.
We are in constant amazement at how fast he is changing and growing. He seems to learn new words everyday, and wants desperately to talk with us. Its remarkable how much fun he has become, more so everyday.
More soon...
