Eli 19.5 months

Its been a while since I last did an Eli update. A lot has happened in the last couple of months and he just keeps growing so fast!

At 19.5 months Eli loves...

Movies. This boy loves to watch movies. He gets really excited when I let him watch one and almost always makes a face like this...

No joke, he gets that excited, lol

Eli also loves cars. We got Eli his first set of hot wheels and a track the day before Noelle was born and he absolutely loved it! He loves to race them, make the chase each other, crash, and jump things. His favorite movie is also Cars 2 (we don't have the original...yet)
Another thing Eli loves is playing with his dinosaur figures. We just recently got some for him after we went to the library. I thought it would be fun to go to the library and read books to Eli, he really enjoys looking at books. I was excited, this would be a great activity for him to start enjoying. Fun and educational. However...the library had dinosaur figures for the kids to play with. Needless to say, Eli had NO interest in reading or looking at books. So yes, we go to the library to play with dinosaurs.
Another one of Eli's loves is playing tackle and tag. He loves to run around and around. I think he would do it all day if we chased him that long. He has so much fun and laughs and laughs. Eli loves going outside, playing, putting things in the trash, hanging upside down, bath time, pointing out our facial features, singing twinkle, twinkle little star, mashed potatoes, dipping things in ketchup or gravy, fries, giving high fives, reading bible stories, his tigers, roaring like a tiger, playing basketball, coloring, playing hide-n-go seek, eating and drinking all by himself, and talking in his own babble language.
Eli also absolutely LOVES his sister! He runs to try to comfort her when she cries. Tries to give her her paci when it falls out of her mouth. He wants to hold her hand in the car. Wants to hold her on the couch. Talks to her everyday and gives her kisses all the time. He loves that little girl, it is so sweet.

Bath time!

Handsome boy!

Eli is such a happy, fun, and loving little boy. I love that he is affectionate. I pray he never grows out of it. I am so thankful I get to watch him grow and learn everyday. I am so thankful I get to know what he wants and needs when it sounds like babble to everyone else around.

I am so thankful I get to be your mommy, Eli. I love you so much sweet boy.

Love,
Mommy
