16 months

Eli's officially 16 months old now. Crazy. Absolutely crazy. 

He is into everything- laundry, dishes, papers, etc...

Walking everywhere- with his tummy out, hands up by his shoulders, and attempting to run.

Babbling and talking- he can say mama, dada, milk (he LOVES to drink his mee-mee), cracker, uh-oh, last night he finally said ball, and he will repeat almost anything if he's in the right mood.

Likes it when people laugh at him- he is a ham!

When I ask him where something is, he'll put his hands up as to say "I don't know". 

Gives kisses.

Has 14 teeth! 8 on top, 6 on bottom.

Sleeps with a paci, bunny, taggie and a crocheted blanket. If the blanket ever gets out of his bed when he sees it, he'll put his head on it and act like he's going to sleep. 

Loves to be outside and can thrown a big fit when it's time to come in. 

Becoming more independent- likes to feed himself. 

If he finds the right thing, he will play with it for a long time. For example, last time we were in Sabetha he started playing in a basket of crayons- taking them out, putting them in- and he played with them for probably 20 minutes.

Ready for more!

Loves getting messy with his ravioli.

Linus?

His first creation. Lefty?

Or righty?
