baby steps

little man loves himself some cheerios.

but what he loves more... slurping his milk from the bowl at the end.

every sip is followed by that thirst quenching "ahhhh" noise.

i laughed pretty hard this morning when i saw just how much he enjoyed the end of his bowl of cheerios.

p.s... we are out of a high chair and onto a booster seat at the big boy table.

so far. so big a mess.

we also are not discrimating between sinks in the house. the stooolll works great for brushing teeth also.

today i worked just a half day, and we had time to fit in a play date with Max and Jude.

Eli was definitely the least behaved of the group, hitting and throwing toys.

but we got them all to hold still for about 15 seconds...

after they left, Eli talked about max and jude all day.

he says both their names pretty good (although jude sounds the same as juice) but it's still pretty cute.

we just have to convince Eli that he loves his little brother Sam and that he shouldn't hit him and throw toys at him.

he hits my belly, so probably not a good sign.

we still have 4 more months to make him as sweet as he looks in this picture. :)

or this one...

we bought a blanket (a "na-na") for baby Sam.

and so far he is ok with keeping that one in baby Sam's room.

baby steps.
