21 months!

Here's what Eli has been up to lately (besides looking cute):

• He loves the song Happy Birthday and tries to sing along. Emphasis on "tries."


• He runs everywhere he goes. He has one speed... scamper.


• Swimming at the pool- he's a big fan of filling up a bucket and dumping the water out of the pool


• If you ask him a question that he doesn't know the answer to, he raises his hands with his palms up and looks around.


• When you ask him where something is, he says "Um, dare!" and points to it. He loves pointing out all of his body parts and then yours too. If you ask him where his belly is, he HAS to pull up his shirt to show you that it's right"dare."


• He's learning all the movements to "itsy bitsy spider" and gets very excited when we practice it.


• He loves to wrestle and horsey rides.


• Eli can say I love you (sounds more like "I you") thank you ("tank tou") and bless you-he's really just had a big vocabulary explosion this past month or two. He can say say a lot more names now. He's great with Mim and Pop (sometimes he says "Meem" instead of Mim. He can say "Tatie" for his future Aunt Katie. He also can name his two friends from daycare, Daschel and Shazy (Shahzad).
