-Eli's vocabulary is probably the most significant change he's had in the last few months. He has added several words to his vocabulary but also seems to understand many more words/phrases every day. Here are the words he can say: book (boooo), night-night, cracker (caa-caa), milk (mee-mee), moma (rarely says it, but he can), daddy (he perches his lips out like a little bird when he says this), pa pa, shoes, hot, kitty, car, truck, Josh, eye, ut-oh, go, Grace (gray), and "me like pie" - Brent's mom made pie for us the last time we were there and Grandpa asked Eli if he liked pie and just as clear as day Eli responded "me like pie" and said it several times. We're starting to work on animal sounds. :)
-Eli has really started to notice animals and LOVES them. When we're playing outside he notices the birds and usually laughs with delight when he sees them. He likes dogs, kitties and other animals too.
-He's started to "run"- I'm still hoping he'll take after his daddy and be a decent runner.
-Eli "jumps" but can't see much daylight underneath those little feet.
-Still a picky eater- rarely will he eat meat.
-Loves playing outside on his new (to us) slide and pool. He really likes to splash in the pool. When he finds a pile of little rocks he'll play with them for a long time. I think he'd like a sand box.
-Probably the most notable thing that's happened is that Eli no longer uses his paci. We just decided since he can't say paci yet and he has all his teeth that it was time. It was rough for a few nights because I could tell he really wanted his paci, but we have endured (all of us). :)
-Likes to dance when he hears music.
-Likes to imitate whatever mom and dad are doing. I was patching holes in the walls and once I was done, Eli picked up the putty knife and started scraping it on the walls like I was.
-Likes to play and watch basketball.
