We're So Proud!

After clapping for Eli about everything, he finally caught on today and began to clap to music. We're so proud! According to the books, he should have done this awhile ago, but he's been busy with other things. Like growing, for instance. He is now over 23 pounds and 32 inches (still 50th and 90th percentiles). In other developments, he's beginning to learn to point and is mimicking lots of things we do. Chris is doing wonders for his manners by teaching him to stick out his tongue. Eli would really love to feed himself, but hasn't mastered the spoon and fork. I've had to be creative to think of bite-sized foods he can pick up with his fingers! And, oh, the mess - you just wouldn't believe it!

Here's a photo of the clapping - guess I should have really done a video of that!
