Eli at 13 months

Dear Eli,

You are so precious and full of yourself at 13 months! You are needy and demanding, but we love you so much anyway! You would attach yourself to our hips if you could.

A few days before you turned 13 months old, you took your first steps. Yay you!

You weigh about 21 pounds - still a little small for your age, but not too bad.



You are finally saying "Mama" more consistently! You've been saying it for months, but went a spell where you just called everyone "Dada." It's nice to be differentiated from Daddy.

You eat and eat and eat. How are you small? Seriously - you eat adult sized portions of everything.

You are mastering a sippy cup. We let you have the bottle on occasion because it makes you happy - but the bottle's days are numbered.


This picture illustrates your personality fairly well. You are standing next to Banks and patting his head like you are in charge. You like to boss him around. And us. And you're pretty successful.


YOU PUT EVERYTHING IN YOUR MOUTH! Everything. It drives us crazy!


Then when we pry these objects from your mouth, we get this....


Most days though - you are very happy! I could listen to you laugh and giggle all day long. There is something therapeutic about your laugh!


Sweet baby boy - you are our sunshine.

Love,
Mommy and Daddy
