Happy Birthday Eli!

Happy Birthday Eli!

Only a few months late, but I started it the day after Eli's birthday!

Eli turned three yesterday and I can't believe how big my little boy has gotten!

Eli is 32.8 lb and 37 1/2 in tall.

A few things I want to remember about Eli at 3 years old:

He is talking in complete sentences using new vocabulary all the time. He will say something and it takes me a minute to respond because I am trying to figure out where he learned a new word or how he got to that conclusion.

He is getting very good at directions. He can tell you how to get to our house five streets before you get to our house. He can do the same with his Papa's house and his Papa Flash and Mimi's house.
He knows right and left about 80 percent of the time.

He loves Cars. The movie and cars in general. He can play with his cars by himself for over an hour. He loves to line the up and race them across the coffee table.

He plays independently very well. He wants daddy and mommy to watch and only play when he asks us to. He also gets his own milk out of the frig and will even get snacks out. He wants to climb in and out of the car and help put his 'belts' on.

We are still working on potty training. Eli was doing great but October set him back.

Eli is starting to know his letters. He recognizes his name and can tell you how to spell it. He also points out letters he sees in his name. "mommy that's my name E L I" when he sees any of the letters.

Eli knows what he likes and doesn't like. He has no trouble ordering what he wants at a restaurant. If they have shrimp, that will always be his first choice. He also likes veggies and dip as his side. He loves veggies and fruit. He also enjoys a good seaweed salad.
He is still just drinking water and milk unless it's a special occasion.

I'll post October - March pics over the next few weeks. Including Eli and Hogan's birthday party!
