Eli is 14 Months

Happy 14 Months Eli!

I can't believe how big he's getting. This age is so fun - every day Eli does or says something new and it makes me smile. Here are some of his latest tricks:

• Words: da da, mama and/or Aarah or Sah, dog, duck, grandpa, shoe, goodbye (always with a limp wave), wah for water, tractor
• He loves going side to side, balancing on each foot as he rocks from right to left
• He loves climbing (or trying to climb) up slides
• He laughs at himself a lot and often cracks himself up for no obvious reason
• He still gets restless in the car, often if we've been driving for more than 5 minutes
• He still loves anything soft and textured
• He gives hugs and kisses to me and Ben frequently - and we LOVE it!
• He cries when I walk out of the room, even though he can easily follow me
• He LOVES going outside and finding sticks and rocks to play with
• We struggle to get him to eat vegetables, but he eats a TON of fruit
• He gets friendlier by the week and says goodbye with a wave when we check out at a store and it's time to leave
• He loves music and will do the motions to songs like Wheels on the Bus, Twinkle Twinkle and the Itsy Bitsy Spider. He also likes copying the chorister at church leading the music.
• He is the sweetest little boy and we think he gets cuter by the minute! We love him so much.
