Here's what Eli has been up to:
- He's pulling himself up on everything and will stand without holding on briefly (to clap). He will take a few steps holding on to the couch, but he hasn't taken any steps without holding on to something. He's still crusing behind his little ride-on toy.
- He's very into clapping. He will give us, the cat, or himself a round of applause for just about anything. It's really funny. I often hear him in the morning clapping in his crib.
- He says 'yeah' all the time. That cracks us up too. Especially when we ask him silly questions and it sounds like he's answering us.
- His hair is getting really long. He's waking up with bed head most mornings. Kevin wants to let it grow, so he might have a shaggy mop by the time he turns one. It's really thick too. I guess he gets that from his dad. It takes me forever to dry it after his bath.
- He has always enjoyed splashing in the tub, but it's getting ridiculous. I need to capture it on video again. He gets himself soaked. I usually just hold up a towel to block myself from the tidal wave.
- He still has just 4 teeth- the middle top two and bottom two. He had a couple of drooly, rough nights that we were really sure was due to teething, but nothing has popped through.
- He giggles and lets out a big laugh (like an "ahhhhh") when we tickle him.
- He crawls with his belly off the floor now and he's fast. I chase him around on all fours (man, that's tiring) and he loves it. He giggles and screams.
- He still enjoys his books, but now he likes to "read" them by himself at times, too. The peek-a-boo books are favorites but his very favorite is "I Love You Through and Through."
- We spent almost every night this past month cruising around in the red car that the Whites gave to us. Just this past week or so, Eli has been leaning over in it while we're pushing it to touch the ground. That little stinker.
- He can climb the steps all the way to the top.
He's just the most lovable, huggable 11 month old little man.
