Happy 1st Eli!





Eli turned the big "1" on Sunday. He still wasn't into presents but did enjoy his balloons and cake. It's hard to believe he is 1. We are starting the weaning process. He enjoys his solids and is doing great with the sippee cup and Vitamin D milk. But, he still likes nursing when he wakes up and just before bed.
This kid is a CLIMBER! We have to constantly monitor the bunk bed ladder. Usually, we just take it down during the day. But on the rare occassion we forget, he is sure to remember. When it's quiet, we know something is going awry. Daycare is no exception either. He pushed a gate up to the wall at a 45% angle. Then, he proceeded to walk up the incline and started to climb the changing table. He was standing on it trying to grab for a plant. It's a good thing he's our last. I'm not sure Linda (Eli's provider), would take any more of our children. Mack wouldn't take a bottle and now Eli the climber. Sheesh! But, in the words of Linda, these are qualities that will serve them well in the future. If only we can channel it the right direction.
Oh, I was going to comment on the family picture, Eli is actually not pulling Schuyler's hair in the picture. (Well, at least not yet)!
