Eli 16 Months Old

Eli just finished eating his favorite food, scrambled eggs with cheese for breakfast

Eli loves to play with his Little Peoples from Grandpa and Grandma Meyer and his Zoo Talkers from Grandpa and Grandma Bossany

Sitting in his new rocking chair from Great Nana Chaplin. We had leftover money from Great Nana from Christmas and got Eli this rocking chair from her. He loves it!

Relaxing in his special chair

Eli sure is a happy boy!

Riding his rocking horse like a big boy!

Eli loves the noises that the horse makes when you push on his ears.

Auntie Karen is coming over this afternoon to babysit so that Daddy and Mommy can go on a date!

The three of us!

Baby #2 on the Way!

We are thrilled to welcome our next bundle of joy this August. We found out that we were pregnant right before Christmas and it was the best gift to tell our families in person over the Christmas celebrations. It has been an easy pregnancy, like before with Eli. I have been very tired so I have tried to take naps when Eli is napping. I am now almost 16 weeks so I will need to take a new picture this weekend and post it. I am going to be taking one picture every month and I will be wearing this same outfit to show how my belly grows. 

We have an announcement!

New Basketball Hoop

The other day Brian brought Eli home a little basketball hoop and basketball. Eli is getting to be a good shot! He loves to watch Dad and Mom shoot baskets and he enjoys making baskets himself.

He is a little sweetheart, my little Valentine

Giggles!

He shoots, he scores!

The Early Years

This picture was taken almost 11 years ago at Camp Wapo. Brian and I had started dating that summer working as camp counselors. We look so young! It is one of my favorite pictures of us. 

Eli 15 Months Old

Our little Eli is already 15 months old and is starting to really look like a toddler. Eli runs speedily around the house and loves to climb up the stairs. 

Eli eats most of the foods that we eat now. He loves peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, chicken, green beans, and macaroni and cheese.  He does a good job communicating to us through baby sign language and through some of the words he uses. He signs if he is hungry, wants more food, and if he is thirsty. 

He loves to say mama, dada, ball, and go. When he wants us to turn on some music, he goes by our radio and starts bouncing up and down. Eli is so affectionate and loves to give us many kisses. He is a joy!

We took him in for his 15 month old well child visit. He is 31.5 inches tall and in the 60th percentile. He weighs 24.5 pounds and is in the 50th percentile. He is a growing boy!
