the overwhelming adorableness of the 2 year old brain

i haven't done an all about eli post in quite awhile,

and i don't ever want to forget the cute little things that come out of his mouth.

i might have said this before,

but THIS is my favorite age.

his most used eli-ism:

mama hold you.

in english:

pick me up.

milk/truck/na-nas with you.

he wants to take his milk/truck/blankets with him.

E-why DO!

let me do it myself people.

chot-chot

what he requests when you try to give him white milk.

it didn't take him long to realize chocalote is always better.

MAMA sit!
sit with him and watch him play.

don't sit where you want, sit exactly where he points his finger.

and don't try to play with his trucks, because he doesn't know how to share.

WATCH!!

every time he catches a glipse of my iphone.

not mike's iphone, just mine.

he likes to watch videos of himself, all.day.long.

and youtube.

i found some educational videos on youtube (abc's, counting)

so maybe he can LEARN something while he's obsessing over a stupid iphone at 2 years old.

he can swipe and navigate better than any 50+year old you know.

if i tell him to call daddy, he yells MIKE!!!!

the color game continues, 6 months later.

everything is described by it's color.

blue car, black shoes.

he requests to wear his orange shorts.

he watches me fold laundry and announces every item of clothing as i take them out.

dada's RED shirt!

momma's BROWN shirt!

i wore a shirt that my mom and i both have.

when i came out into the living room with it on he said,

hey. dats mimi's shirt.

mimi's pink shirt.

i can go on forever, and probably no one is still reading this because these are all things that only a momma cares about.

but he is cute. and the things that come out of his mouth make him even cuter.
