Eli is 12 months!

One year old. How did that happen so fast? Our little guy has grown and learned so much over this past year!

Here is what Eli has been up to this past month....

Eli has loved playing with his cousin Madalynn. We got to take another trip to the zoo.

Madalynn loves having a baby cousin to push around!

Enjoyed Valentines day treat from Aunt Missy, Uncle Andrew, and Madalynn! Yummy!

Yummy peep hearts in his new high chair!

Eli is learning more animal sounds! This month he has mastered the monkey sound....so cute!! He leaves out the who who, and just says ha ha! Other animal sounds Eli can make are for a dog, duck, cow, and cat.

Eli even recognized the monkey on his DVD
 and started making monkey noises

Eli is finally over his army crawling and is always up on his hands and knees. He still isn't walking on his own, but he uses his walker to get around everywhere!! He loves it! We have been so thankful for all the nice weather it has been so nice to spend so much time outside in February. Eli loves playing outside and go for walks with his walker.

Eli and is walker!

Eli discovered his baby swing in his room this month and decided he needed to try it out again. I brought it out of his room and let him have a swing in it and he thought it was so much fun. he would laugh and laugh. He would also let some of his stuffed animals go for a swing. He's going to be a great big brother!! :)

Just a swinging!

Eli is still eating baby food. He loves to eat big people food too, but sometimes he still prefers his baby food over real food.

So excited to feed himself!

Yum!

Now thats some serious baby food!

We love how affectionate Eli is. He is becoming such a great little hugger and is pretty generous with his kisses for Mommy and Daddy too. We hope this continues! His loving is so dear to our hearts!

Kissing that baby in the mirror!

awww :)

Cutie pie!

 We love you Eli!
