Eli's Journal

January 2015
Eli can't pronounce the letter R. So he calls Ruby either "Uby" or "Wuby." It's so cute.
...
Ruby was laying on the couch in just her diaper.
Eli touched her nipple and said, "Button" for belly button.

September 2014
Eli started referring to himself as "eye eye."
Eli started calling Avery "E D."
...
Sean said, "Love you" to Eli and Eli responded, "Eye you."
Now he says, "Eye you" when we say, "I love you."
...
Eli now loves books, or "cook" as he calls them. He loves to sit on our laps and look at pictures.
...
Eli learned several new words this month, although he can't pronounce them right:
 girl, boy, couch, tire...
...
Eli used to say "neigh" when he saw any animal now he is learning that different animals have different sounds. He will make the sounds of owls, cats, sheep, goats, dogs, lions, bears and dogs.
...
Eli discovered his penis. Whenever he's naked he points to it and tries to say "penis" although it doesn't sound like it at all. And now he'll stick his hands down his pants and play with it.

August 2014
Instead of calling dogs, "goggy" (doggy) like he used to, Eli now calls them "gog" for dog.
...
Eli loves Lexi's bed. He just loves being on it. When she's at school he acts like it's his.

July 2014
Eli started calling me "meme." I think that's how he says Mommy.

 July 21, 2013
This is the second week that I've gone into nursery with Eli.
After an hour in sacrament meeting he doesn't want to be held anymore.
So I haven't been making it to class lately.
...
Last night while Sean and I were laying in bed, Eli was awake in his crib.
He was happy.
He kept blowing bubbles and making tooting sounds with his mouth.
I was laying in bed trying not to laugh to laugh.
And he kept making those noises over and over again.
It was so funny.

 July 9, 2013
Today I was eating a bowl of beef stroganoff.
Eli crawl up to my legs and was whining.
So I picked him up. He kept crabbing at my food.
So I put him in his high chair and dumped my stroganoff on his tray.
He ate it all up happily.
...
Today Eli pulled himself up to standing for the first time.
...
Today Sean gave Eli ice cream for the first time.
At first he made a really sour face like when he ate pickle for the first time.
Then he started saying, "Hmmmm."
He loved it and cried when we stopped giving him some.

 July 2, 2013
It's really, real.
Eli crawls.
The real kind of crawl.
As in, he made his way from the living room,
through the dinner room and into the kitchen by himself.

 July 1, 2013
Eli crawled yesterday for a very short distances
and then again today for a little bit further distance.
It won't be long before he figures it out and is all over the place.
...
Tonight at 5:20, Eli ate an entire big jar of baby food,
at 6:00 he ate some tatter tot casserole and peas,
at 6:40 he munched on Cheerio's while playing on the floor,
and at 7:30 he nursed on both side before going to bed.
That boy is always hungry.
...
I have said that Eli is perfect since he was born.
Although I've come to the conclusion that he has two flaws.
He doesn't sleep through the night yet (which is only an issue for me)
and since he has 6 teeth, I am often sore after nursing him (again only an issue for me).
So really, it's true, he's perfect.
And I'm so lucky that he's mine.

 June 30, 2013
Before yesterday, Eli had gone from laying to sitting all by himself maybe three times total.
He had really done it deliberately.
Well as of yesterday he's done it dozens of times.
And as of two days ago he army crawls on the floor.
He is now all over the place!
...
We also discovered that Eli has a sweet tooth.
Thursday while we were celebrating Halle's birthday,
Eli helped himself to some cake when no one was looking and loved it.
Friday night, I was trying to eat some cheesecake while Eli was next to me.
He kept trying to grab the cheesecake so finally I gave him a few bites.
He was mad at me when I stopped.
And yesterday the girls were eating brownies and got crumbs on the floor.
Well Eli found the crumbs and by the time I realized what he had, he had just swallowed it.
And I heard him say, "mmm. num."
His first words.

 June 21, 2013
Today Eli tried Goldfish crackers for the first time.
He liked them.
...
Today Eli ate his first pickle.
When Sean handed it to him, he instantly started eating.
Event though he was making sour faces, he didn't stop eating.
...
Today, I pulled Eli in a bike trailer for the first time.
He loved it.

 June 19, 2013
Today Eli tried Cheeto Puffs for the first time.
He loved them.
He ate probably 9 of them.
And they were the jumbo sized ones.

June 13, 2013
Eli worked on getting up on his knees while laying on his tummy today.
Eli also got into sitting position from his stomach almost completely by himself.

 June 8, 2013
Eli got his 6th tooth today.
And he ate pancakes again today and loved them.

June 7, 2013
Today was national donut day so we walked to the bakery by our house to buy donuts.
After we were sitting outside on the grass outside eating donuts.
Eli was sitting on Sean's lap.
He quickly grabbed a piece of Sean's donut and put it in his mouth and ate it so fast.
And he seemed to love it.

May 30th

Now that Eli has 5 teeth and the appetite of a 2 year old, he's wanting to eat "real" food. 
So I gave him homemade pancakes for breakfast and Sean's yummy navy beans for lunch. 
Eli seemed thrilled to be eating something that wasn't purred.

 May 11, 2013
Eli got his fourth tooth today.
It's one of the bottom middle ones.

May 10, 2013
Eli got his second tooth today.
It's one of the bottom middle ones.
...
Eli started sitting up today for more than 2 seconds.

 May 6, 2013
Eli got his second tooth today.

  December 11, 2012
Today while I was bathing Eli he peed.
Lexi saw it and exclaimed, "He's peeing way up high!
It's like a princess fountain but it's not water.
I like it!"

December 7, 2012
Today I finally bought Eli size 2 diapers, something he's needed for a while.
When I put them on I realized that I probably should have bought size 3!
I bet he'll outgrown the size 2 before he uses them all just like he did with the size 1.

December 2012
I started calling Eli, "Mr. Bentley."
It kinda reminds me of Pride and Prejudice's Mr. Bingly and Mr. Bennett.
I've also started calling Eli, "Butter Ball" and now Avery does too, all the time.

November 29, 2012
I laid Eli on his stomach this morning for some "Tummy Time" 
and he rolled onto his back for the first time.

November 28, 2012
Last night, Eli went 8 hours between feedings for the first time!
