Personality

The past couple of days have been really fun! Eli's little personality has just started to come out even more! Yesterday, Katherine came over and ran some errands with us. We weren't out long, just long enough to kill time in between Eli's naps. Perfect!

When we got home, Eli was so content just to crawl around and play. Kath and I sat down on the couch and Eli was watching us closely and noticed we were munching on something (spitz!) and he immediately wanted some. He came over to the couch and started reaching for our bowl. He kept trying and trying, standing on his tippy toes, stretching his arms as far as they could possibly go. With no success, he stood there just looking at us, pretending he was chewing on something. Open and closed his mouth would go, chewing like we were... except he had nothing in his mouth! It was the cutest thing!

After that, he discovered the laundry basket of nicely folded clothes. Once he climbed in, he needed to figure out how to get out. This took him a bit but he finally did. Once he was out, back in he went. He did this 6 or 7 times over. And at one point he flopped out of the basket, laid down on the floor with his hands above his head, smiled and let out a big sigh! It was the cutest thing I think he's done! We couldn't stop laughing

Its incredible how this little boy has brought so much joy to our lives!
But for now, I have to go upstairs and tell him to go to sleep. It was quiet up there for about 10 minutes and now he's rattling the bar on the crib. Have a good afternoon!!
