3 years ago...

Nick and I were making an offer on our house and I was pregnant (and didn't know it yet)!

Seems like a lifetime ago! What fun we have had!

Eli Says...

Eli’s vocabulary is just exploding… everyday he blows us out of the water with the things he says to us. Mostly a mirror of what we say to him, just in his own little way… Which is also a great reminder to watch every little thing you say!

Last night, Eli and I took a walk around our block and at one point Eli asked me to carry him. As I was holding him, he said, “Mama has a purple hat.” Which was true, I was wearing a purple hat.

This morning as we were getting ready for the day, we were in the bathroom and I dropped a couple things when Eli says, “Mama, what happened? What happened, Mama?”

Then we were in the bedroom and I was getting dressed when he said to me, “I’m gonna get you, Mama! I ‘m gonna get you!” when he starting chasing after me…

Nick shared with me that in the car this morning Eli told Nick, “Daddy, I have an elephant in my ear.” This was coming from his doctor’s visit the other night when I told Eli the doctor was going to look in his ear for an elephant (he LOVES elephants). The conversation went on and on about if there could be puppies or kitties on our ears, too.

I told Eli this because when I was little the doctor would tell me the same thing. This was always very entertaining, so I thought I would do the same for Eli.

I am so proud of him and his love for learning and exploring every day. It is the greatest joy to watch this little person grow into such an amazing human being!
