Eli is growing like a weed, well, actually he's growing better than the weeds are outside in the frigid temperatures right now. We're sure he must be going through a growth spurt since he's eating us out of house and home. Chris swears he grew while he was at work on Wednesday! I don't know about that, but I'm definitely noticing changes in his face.
This sweet photo was taken yesterday at our local museum by our friend Jean, one of his Museum-Grandmas. Sue, the museum director, calls Eli the "museum babe" and uses him as a selling point for museum membership. I'm not sure how that campaign is working out.....Eli's physical growth and changes are going along with an increase in his verbal (and other) communication skills. He's invented his own baby sign language. Rubbing his hands together is "washing hands" or more accurately, playing in the water in the powder room sink. Swishing a finger in his mouth is "brushing teeth" otherwise known as chewing on the toothbrush and rubbing his chest or legs is "put on lotion." He gets the biggest kick out of understanding daily procedures.
Eli is still super-active, although I have seen a slight increase in his ability to play with something for more than 30 seconds at a time. In particular, he loves his workbench and stacking cups; and of course books!
So that's where we are right now, but big changes are on the way later this morning when Eli gets his first haircut ....... check back for the updated photos.
