Our growing boy

This past week our boy really amazed us as he continues to grow so fast! Eli has been saying "dada" now for awhile but he has finally begun saying "mama." He thinks its really fun to say dada when we say mama though. We might have a little stinker on our hands.

Eli has also gotten up on all fours, rocked, reached, rolled, everything short of crawling. So we anticipate that any day now.

Our sweet boy has also begun standing for pretty good lengths of time while in his jumperoo, holding on to his pack and play, us, or other furniture. We are also thinking that he won't crawl for long before beginning to walk. Here are some fun pictures from this week.

These are a couple of Eli working with daddy. :)

And this was yesterday's church outfit that daddy picked out. Unfortunately you cannot see the best part, Eli's Cardinal socks!

Getting cool in NC

We've had many cool nights in NC already and Eli has caught his first cold of the season... So I hit a big sale at Old Navy and picked up a few hats for him. Here he is showing them off while playing in his jumperoo. I love the blue knit one because he looks like such a cool little dude!

First Halloween

Eli was a puppy like Chloe and we took him to a carnival at church.

Afterwards he was happy but getting sleepy.

We loved how cute our sweet boy was in costume!

NC State Fair



Eli loved the fair so much that we went twice!

Eli loves bath time!

Lately, Eli has really loved playing during bathtime with his rubber duckies and splashing in the water.

First teeth on top

Eli got his first two teeth at about five months old and now a week shy of eight months old he is getting teeth on top!
