11 months ago today, Brandon and I were headed home from the hospital with our little bundle of joy, wondering what we were going to do now that there were no nurses to buzz. Well, we would have my mom for a week or so and other family around to help, so we thought we could handle it. And we did.

Now 11 months later I sit and watch as Eli crawls around, stopping to pull himself up and look at new things. He loves to talk (takes after his mother) and flirt (takes after his father?). He will look at me with his big blue eyes, smile, then grab a hand full of the plant I just told him not to touch. When I say "NO" again he will pull back his hand, smile and give me this 'just teasing' look before he grabs the plant again, how do you discipline that?

He has taken over the kitchen/family room (I made the far end into his "playroom" but he does not keep his toys on the rug!). We have toys from one end to the other, I do pick them up a few times a day but as soon as Eli is put down he grabs a toy in each hand and takes off for the kitchen part of the room. He has mastered opening the tuber ware cabinet and likes to mix lids and containers in with his toys.
A few accomplishments:
Eli is pulling up and cruising around any and everything.
He has 4 teeth!
Eli has mastered the sippy cup and is only drinking out of a sippy!
He has started sleeping 6-8 hours a night without waking up! (for some of you this happens early, but this is a big deal to me!!)
Eli loves pushing anything around, a car, box, cup, it does not matter.
Eli loves to clap and talk.
His favorite thing to say is "Yea" he will even answer questions.
