14 Months

Eli turned 14 months yesterday. He hasn't done a lot of new things in the last two months, but it seems that he is getting better at the things he has started. He is walking a lot more now-taking up to 15 steps- and he stands up in the middle of the floor. In the past he would just go over to the couch to stand up. He is communicating more and more each day. He still only says mama, dada, and milk (mee-mee), but he signs when he is all-done eating and when he wants more. This is really helpful! He loves to take blocks out of one container and into another, "dancing" to music, growling, laughing, closing his eyes (it's the cutest thing), bath time, oatmeal, mac-n-cheese, and green beans. 

We went to Colorado for a few days and had a great reunion with Tabor friends. The guys (and Jill) skied a few days and the ladies and kids stayed back in the condo. It was really a great time and we hope to do it again in a few years. 

Eli and I went and watched Uncle Josh's basketball team play a few weeks ago and we have all made it to several of Uncle Ben's basketball games. 

Now we are getting ready to move to Salina in just a few days. Hopefully the snow will be melted enough that it won't be too messy!

Putting blocks in the back of his tractor before bedtime.

Eli and mommy have been going to work with daddy. Eli is learning early how to use equipment.

I'm ready to move!

Layla, Grace and Eli (this was taken after Katy was gone wish we would have taken one with her too)

I went to get Eli from his nap and he had taken his pants off!

Since we're packing up, the china hutch is empty and the perfect size for Eli to hide in.
