16 Months!

This past month has been full of excitement and chaos around here.  Eli has really taken off walking almost full-time and is doing great!  When it's just he and I at home together he always wants me to hold his hand, but when David or anyone else is here he likes to show his independence.  : )  I think it's very sweet that he wants to hold my hand still.  Eli has also been showing more of a strong-willed nature lately.  Diaper time is always a battle, and requires a book for him to not go completely berserk.  Nap time sometimes occurs much later than it should because SOMEONE likes to chatter away forever in his crib instead of sleep.  I often have to go in to rock him again, holding him tight in my arms just so he'll stay still long enough to be able to fall asleep.  And meal time has also proved quite challenging with my incredibly picky eater, who turns away in disgust at almost all table foods.

While it's true he can be frustrating at times, the good in him far outweighs the bad.  : )

He can now stack blocks all by himself!  In the past he just enjoyed knocking down Mom's towers.  : )  It's so fun to have this new skill, and his towers get pretty high!


That's my silly, adorable boy!  He does the funniest
