Eli -22 months

1) Became a BIG BROTHER, and loves his little sister to pieces.  We haven't had any major jealous issues, and he just wants to hold her and kiss the back of her head.
2) Counting to 10
3) Recognizing his colors - not everything is blue now
4) This boy is a talking machine.  He is starting to put together full sentences, and surprises us with something new everyday
5) He combines names of people that are always together - Example: Mommy/Evi, Mimi/PA, Poppi/Grammi (essentially not saying the and, but I think its the cutest).
6) Loves the book "Busy Timmy" and Winnie the Pooh is still holding strong 
7) Sings the "Hooray Song" when it comes on Winnie the Pooh.  He gets a drum (like Christopher Robin) and marches around.
8) He has also started quoting Winnie the Pooh dialogue - what in the world?!?
9) Loves running and being outside
10) Animals are still his primary love - he will be around them any chance he can get.
11) He calls for Jenni the donkey, Blackie/Snickers/Paint (Horses at Mimi/Pa's) when he sees any fence ... ANY FENCE
12) First haircut - goodbye mullet.  I miss is so much
13) And first Dentist appointment.  There is already some major crowding in his baby teeth, and he still has 4 more molars to come in.  Sorry buddy -- that is all my genetics.  Looks like we need to go ahead and start the ortho fund ...

How was this a year ago?!?!  So tiny and sweet.  Such a different boy now!


Eli is the second from the left.  Hanging out with his school friends.
Apparently he was very proud of his new haircut at school.  He was telling everybody all morning how he had a haircut.

Mom/Eli date to Juiceland, our favorite smoothie place!
It's about time for water season.  We were testing out the sprinklers and this boy went wild!!  I briefly forgot how much of a water boy he is.  We can't wait for the pool to open!!  Until then, sprinklers and the hose in the backyard will have to do.
Who doesn't love a little baby bottom crack - the cutest!


First Dentist appointment

First Haircut - looking Sharp E-man!


My little gardener.  He helped me get our garden into shape, and we also learned about rolly-pollies and baby geckos that day.




Sweet big brother!
I love that I still get some great cuddle time with him.  It's not as much as it was, but I will take every minute of it!
