Less than 4 months...

(OLD POST FROM JANUARY)

...until Eli is 2 years old! WHAT?!?! This is scary to me; I have a feeling that the 2 year mark is going to be harder for me than Eli's first birthday. We'll see.


I just thought I would share a little bit about what Eli is up to these days. I know I have been a terrible blogger lately and I really don't have any excuses.


Eli is talking up a storm and runs around the house all day long. He has started putting words together and will communicate in small sentences. He really blows our mind with some of the words that come out of his mouth and will repeat pretty much anything we say (luckily no curse words:). Some of the big words that Eli can say clearly are apricot, cranberry, triangle, peanut-butter jelly, quasadilla, aquadoodle, spaghetti.


He has been counting to 10 for a month or two, although lately he's been skipping past 7 & 8, and will sometimes continue on to 12, 13, 14. Within the past week Eli has started singing songs. He'll sing bits and pieces of the ABC's, and knows most of the words to Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.


Eli's favorite toy is still a ball. Most of his Santa presents were ball related and he was happy as can be about it. I don't think we can ever have too many balls in this house. We have recently discovered the Wiggles, a singing and dancing group from Australia. We started out with one DVD that a neighbor gave us and we watched it almost everyday for close to a month. Luckily we got some new ones for Christmas.
