Another Tooth!!

Last night Mommy and Daddy and me went to a football game at Daddy's work. While we were there, I met a really nice girl that was 3 weeks older than me. Her Mommy and mine were talking about how many teeth we each had and her daughter had a couple of molars already! So, this afternoon Mommy was curious and looked in my mouth and sure enough, I have a molar!! I'm guessing that means I can eat steak now.......
Mommy thinks that I am so sweet when I sleep, so she took some pictures. This is me taking my nap in my usual sleeping position: on my tummy with my butt way up in the air!

Don't Tell Me......He's My Daddy?!

Hi everybody! The above picture is me in my crib after my naptime. That is Mommy's favorite part of the day because I am always in a happy mood....
And, yes (big gulp), that is my Daddy.... He is so weird, but I like it when he's silly. This is when Mommy and Daddy and me had to go to the store last night. Mommy said I was almost out of clean underwear! When Mommy took a picture of me and Daddy, Daddy decided to give her a funny face, and I thought it was funny.


Mommy thought these pictures were really cute. Daddy sometimes makes fun of Mommy (jokingly) because she "smothers" me. She can't get enough kisses and hugs, so I give her lots and lots of hugs all the time!

Las Vegas!

This weekend my Great Grandma Connie was in Las Vegas for a convention so me and Daddy and Mommy went to meet up with her since Vegas is pretty close to our house. Last night we went to dinner and watched lots of cool light and water shows!


To the left is a picture of me and Mommy and dinner. Me and Mommy's favorite part were the chocolate chip cookies!




To the right is a picture of me and Daddy waiting for the light show to start.



I had fun on our trip, and I liked all of the bright lights, but after being in my stroller for so long, when we got to the hotel I didn't want to sleep! I wanted to play...

Fancy Footwork

Daddy was cleaning the garage a couple of days ago and found this volleyball! I love sports balls to play with and we have tennis and golf balls inside that Mommy and Daddy let me have to play with. I like this ball a lot better! I don't know how to play volleyball, but I love soccer!



I figured that I could play soccer in the garage with the volleyball and it was so much fun! Mommy thought I looked like a pro because I knew how to kick the ball around. Daddy and Mommy even played with me too. They even taught me a game called, "keep away from Eli." I giggled when we played that!

Mr. Eli?

So lately Mommy has been calling me by lots of different names. It's not just Eli anymore. It's Mr. Eli. She calls me Mr. Chubs when I look chubby or am eating too quickly. Just plain, Mister, when I'm trouble. Mr Handsome, she says this one all the time, and I always get a kiss. Mr. Poops....... This time I don't get a kiss. Mr. Silly when I am being funny. In the picture below, Mommy called me Mr. Cranks (for cranky) as you can probably see why. Yesterday morning I got up really late and when Mommy went in to my room to get me, she noticed I had my arm up through my neck hole! What a mess.

Blue Colored Pencil= Blue Mouth

Remember I told you that at my 1 year check up there was fluid in my ears? Well, right around the time Mommy had to take me into the doctor 6 weeks later to find out if the fluid was gone, I got sick. She took me in to check both problems and the Doctor said that the fluid caused a really bad ear infection in both ears! I couldn't sleep for 6 nights! Me and Mommy got really tired. The picture above is my fat face because my lymph nodes are so swollen trying to fight off my infection. That was a couple of days ago when I didn't feel good at all. Today, I feel much better! The doctor said to come back in 6 more weeks to check the fluid because she can't tell if it is causing problems for me since I was sick.

I felt so good yesterday that I decided to try to eat a watercolor colored pencil! It got on my face and fingers, after I colored a little on the floor. I really like to color now. At restaurants Mommy and Daddy let me color with the crayons! It's a lot of fun and I am really good at it!

Oh, and at the doctors office they weighed me again. Guess what?! I weigh exactly the same as my 1 year appointment! 23 pounds, 3 oz. The Doctor said that is just fine since I am so active. I work off all the calories I eat. In fact, she said that I was so active she is surprised I haven't lost weight!

A Good Spot for Snoozing!

I haven't been sleeping very well the past few nights, so this morning I decided to take an early nap! I was watching Little Einsteins on TV and I just laid down on the carpet and fell asleep! I never ever fall asleep anywhere but my bed so Mommy thought it was kind of strange.

Mommy says that she is so lucky that I still like my naps!

I Got the Giggles!!

This morning Mommy gave me a bath and I got to use a big boy towel! I have gotten to use it before, but today Mommy decided to take a picture. It's a froggy and it's a big towel that covers all of me! Grandpa Doug and Grandma Donita bought it for me when I was just a little baby for when I got big.

After bath time, I got to play and watch my Baby Einstein videos! I haven't watched them for a few weeks, but today, I couldn't stop giggling!! They are so silly. My favorite parts were when the dragon puppet got hit in the head with a baseball and when the lion and the monkey got into a snowball fight! They were so funny I was laughing and that made Mommy laugh!

(Those who know me very well, know that I don't laugh very much so, this was very adorable to Mommy.)

All little kids out there: You should try to get your Mommies and Daddies to buy the Baby Einstein DVD set. They are so fun!

My Pearly Whites!

Mommy says that I have very handsome and pretty teeth. To keep them white and healthy, Mommy lets me brush them before I go to bed. I even have my own toothbrush and toothbrush holder in the bathroom!

It is fun and I smile when we brush them. Last night, I wanted to do it by myself and Mommy let me! The toothpaste tastes really good too! It is peach flavored and I like it a lot and try to eat it. Mommy says it's a special toothpaste for us little kids that is okay to swallow, but says I still shouldn't do that.

Tada!! Look at how perfect and shiny those teeth are!

Hi Everybody!

Well, although things around my house have been kind of boring lately, I have been doing some fun stuff! The picture above was taken Mommy caught me jumping in bed after nap time. I do it everyday and she can usually hear it from outside my bedroom door. I am starting to get really high!! The picture below is me and Daddy dancing together. Mommy provided the music and Daddy asked me to dance. It was lots of fun and we danced to the Gilligan's Island theme song which is still one of my favorites!

I found out that I love to run around the table! It is so much fun and I can do it for a long time without getting tired. I wouldn't even stop to let Mommy get a picture of me!
