My Little Guy

I feel like I don't write very much about my Elijah on this blog and figured I better start! There are just so many cute things he does that I don't want to forget, so here goes.

Almost always calls for daddy when he wakes up in the morning, except it usually sounds like "Daaaaaaddyyyyyyyyy." (This I don't mind!)

When I do get him up (and yes, it's usually me, since Greg is getting ready for work), if there are any blankets left in his crib, he will gather them all up and I'll have to pick him and all the blankets up (which then end up downstairs, disbursed throughout the house)

After dinner, when he's all done eating, and if he's tired, he'll run laps around the dining room. (It is the cutest thing ever!)

Thought he was advanced for walking/running on his toes, until it was brought to my attention at his 18 month appointment that he really shouldn't be doing that, and is now set to get assessed by a physical therapist.

Will give Charlotte a hug whenever she asks for one (I mean, he'll give any of us a hug when we ask for one, but there is just something very cute about two siblings hugging!) Unfortunately no pictures of this since I never seem to have my camera handy for those moments.

Loves water and will do anything to get his hands washed.

Loves brushing his teeth, which makes getting him ready for bed very easy, because all we have to say is "Want to brush your teeth?" and he'll cooperate.

Loves bath time, especially if we get the jets going on the tub. (Charlotte doesn't like it so much since it is "too loud" but Eli always asks, for "Bubbles!")

Can say lots of words, but sorry folks, I haven't kept track with how many he does actually say. His first string of words though is "I don't know."

Can sing Old McDonald Had a Farm as evidenced here:
