Eli is 11 Months Old

Eli is 11 months old and learning everyday! He is such a smiley and happy baby. He continues to love peek-a-boo games with his stuffed animal Mr. Crinkles. It is so fun to see him crack up into giggles!

Eli is imitating us all the time now, it is neat to see how much he is learning. I played his baby piano with his stuffed animal and then he picked up the stuffed animal and started playing the piano with the stuffed animal. I put his pooh bear on his fire truck and pushed it around. Pooh bear fell off and Eli picked him up, put him back on the firetruck and started pushing him around. Another example, I pretended to feed his stuffed animal some of his rice crackers and then he put the rice crackers up to his stuff animals mouth, just like I did. 

Eli loves to stack his rings and he is starting to figure out how to stack his blocks on his wooden train. He loves knocking over block towers! 

Eli is able to stand for over a minute by himself now! He has even taken his first steps! Eli enjoys pushing his firetruck and walking while holding onto it from behind. Eli loves getting firetruck rides around the house from Daddy and Mommy. He can climb up our full flight of stairs no problem. Needless to say we have three different security gates in our house to keep him safe. 

Eli is a joy and we are blessed everyday by him. He is a gift from God.

Eli looks so handsome in the blue overalls from Grandma Meyer.

Standing by himself!

He loves to wave!
