The time will come soon when our lil boy gets a serious injury. I’m sure it happens to all parents of boys, unless you keep them in bubble wrap. For instance yesterday, he decided to belly slide down the stair steps. From the very top, down. We’ve seen him do it on the last 3 or 4 stairs but from the very top was a whole new experience. Ed was sure he’d be going to the ER. I’ve caught him several times placing a step stool on top of a chair to reach even higher. The other day he got into the freezer and pulled out the ice box (which we have full of freezee pops) and dumped them all over the floor. Of course no one witnessed it personally, just the aftermath. He’s also figured out how to put his stool in front of the screen door and open it (even when it’s locked). One of his new favorite games is to stand on top of Ed’s belly (as he’s lying down) and do a cannon ball style jump onto the bed. It’s evident that the child has no fear.
He’s also very affectionate, giving a burpie and hug to anyone he thinks is upset. He also will rub you back and tell you that it’s okay. He takes very good care of his little babies too. It makes me proud and I certainly hope I can continue to raise him in a way that fosters a caring and compassionate nature.
He’s starting to potty train himself, which sounds funny to say but is true. He wants to wear his big boy undies and wants to go on the potty. Every night we’ve had an accident though. I’m not pressuring him and I myself am not entirely ready to potty train him. I figure right now is just good practice, and I have a little puppy peeing all over the house so having a lil kid being all over the house really isn’t a big thing. Sometimes he will tell you he has to go and other times it’s like he forgets and just lets loose. He just turned 2, so there is no big rush!

2nd Birthday 2
Eli and his g/f Soapie. (aka Sophia). She's 3. ;)
Not a birthday pic, but one of him playing in the 'baby crib'
2nd Birthday
Yes, I got him a tea set and a baby for his birthday. WELL GUESS WHAT!! HE LOVES THEM!
Mini bday party at Nana's, with Poppop and Daddy in the pic.
Opening Abby's present.Misc.
Mega bubbles in the tub. They "attack!"
One of his favorite xmas toys, his shopping cart!
Concentrating on tv.
Tasting his handywork. I let him add the sugar and water.
Baking mom some cookies :-D (It's not really turned on, or even plugged in) ;)Elmo
Eli has a TON of fun at Sesame Street Live: When Elmo Grows Up. It was about 90 minutes long with an intermission halfway through. At first he was amazed at how many other little kids were there. Then when the show started he was REALLY amazed. (see the pic right above). He was VERY into it. Dancing, clapping, singing along. He did better then I expected. I'm very glad we went!!

Where did my son learn this?
Eli can turn on the tv, turn on the vcr, stick a tape in (check to see if there is one already in there, and in that case eject it), push play, fast forward and rewind.
We took one side of his crib off in hopes that he would sleep better. (Eh, doesn't make much difference except he can climb into our bed on his own). When he wakes up he'll turn his nightlight off and turn the radio off and come downstairs. It's pretty amazing to me that he can turn the radio off because there are a million button on the front of it and half of the time I hit the wrong one (especially in the dark!)
We took the puppy for a walk yesterday. (Yes, we have a 5 month old jack Russell/ pug mix that we adopted from a boy who is going into the marines.) I asked Eli if his hands were cold and he said "No mom, pockets!" and put his hands in his coat pockets. I've never showed him that.
He can draw circles. Amazing!
(he'll kill me for this when he's older). He likes washing his front side and back side under the running tub water. It's hilarious to watch.
He crawls up on your lap and says he's a 'baby.' You have to rock him and he says he wants his baba (which are all packed away!) I'd understand this behavior more if we had a baby, but we don't. He's pretty darn imaginative.
You can actually have conversation with him!! Sometimes he tells fibs though. Mostly he blames things on his cousins when they aren't even around.
Today he glanced at my dresser and said chappy! 3 chappys! (chapstick). I said no, two, then saw there WAS a third. Apparently he can count to three.
His birthday is on the 9th. The past two years have been truly amazing!

Snow Day
We are fastly approaching Eli's 2nd birthday! People always say it goes by so fast but most of the time I feel like he's been around forever. I am anxious for him to grow up but am enjoying every day as well. He's getting tall and staying skinny. He has all his teeth except for his 2 year molars. His speech is amazing and gets better everyday. He knows when he's done something bad to say sorry. He says thank you when you get him something. His favorite word to describe emotion is angry. (Ever since reading Llama Llama mad at Mama). I'm trying to teach him there are other emotions like happy, sad, but they all end up being 'angry.' He's loving sesame street and even more so lately Thomas the tank engine. We went to a booksale and bought some old vhs tapes, 2 being thomas the tank engine. Now that is all he wants to watch. No real attempts at potty training yet although he did pee on the potty a few months ago. I bought him some big boy undies this past weekend but we'll wait a lil bit to try them out. He loves to announce when he's tooted. And he'll try to toot on purpose if you mention it. He's a giant cuddle bug at times and loves sleeping with his mommy and daddy. (a habit I will be trying to break soon once we can move into our new bedroom). He knows some of his abc's, like if you go through them and stop before a letter he'll name the next letter.
We've gone sledding. He had some fun. He more wanted to walk in the snow. I guess mom had more fun sledding then he did. Right now we are getting a good snow storm so he'll have some more chances to play.
His favorite thing in the world right now is playing cozy. This involves getting naked and getting under the covers. We'll read books or he'll just be a mad man and bounce all over the bed. I don't mind playing cozy because well, it's cozy :-D
We're also looking into getting a puppy .. so life should be getting much more interesting!!!
Time to go!

Christmas time
I'll post some pics this weekend.
Christmastime has come and gone! The weekend after thanksgiving we put our tree up. Eli was so excited when he woke up from his nap and saw a full sized tree in the dining room. I had him help me decorate. Growing up my sister and I were never allowed to touch the tree because my mom has OCD :P I want to make sure Eli always has some input. We picked non-breakable ornaments and I let him go to town. Most things ended up in the same spot. I tried to let him decorate with candy canes but after he broke the third one I gave up. His daddy set up my papaps train under the tree a few days later. Talk about an excited little boy! It's so fun to see them get so excited they can barely contain themselves. It took a few days for it to really sink in that he shouldn't be touching the trains. "NO" only deterred him so much. Over all though he did very well!
He had a very good Christmas. 4 days of it in fact! Christmas eve we visited my mother's side of the family. We got to reconnect with people I rarely get to spend time with. Christmas day his first words were "Ho ho!" He was suprised to see the presents under the tree and the big 'thing' under the blanket (his kitchen). He ripped and tore and uncovered his kitchen then immediately had to 'wash his dishes.' I might be turning him into a clean freak ;) Then we went up to the in-laws and he got to rip and tear some more.
Saturday my mom and sister came over. Mom got him a john deer ride on tractor with a wagon. I'm sure as it gets warmer out we will spend lots of time riding around the yard with it. Sunday was Dad's house with that side of the family. My dad got him a big red wooden sided wagon. It's really nice! It even has ATW wheels.
He also got some elmo dvd's which we've watched 1 time too many already.
Before christmas we had one night of peeing on the potty! I was so excited. I'm pretty sure more excited then him. It was a fluke though. He hasn't done it since! He likes to try! and if he goes in his diaper and your not quick enough he'll be undressing himself and taking his dirty diaper off. Everything is "I Do!" and boy does he know how to do a lot ;)
We're still having a word explosion! He speaks very well and has been putting 2 and 3 word sentences together. My favorite, "No, I drive!" Not for a few years yet buddy!!
He's not too much a fan of the snow. It's okay to step in, but not okay to eat or touch. We got some snow today so maybe tomorrow we'll try a little sleigh riding and see if that changes his opinion at all.
His eye teeth have come in on the top and now we are working on the bottem.
Ok well look for some pictures!!! His Daddy just took him for a nice 'lil boy' haircut after a lady at weis thought he was a girl. :P boo

my kids so smart
We're raising a smarty pants ;) He knows is basic colors, red, blue, green, orange, yellow. He can identify numerous farm animals. And his memory!! The other night he was taking a bath and had a lil toy coffee pot in the tub with him. He said he was 'making coffee.' Ed nor I, nor anyone he is with everyday, drinks coffee. I asked him "who drinks coffee??" and he replied, offended almost, "Poppop and Abby!!" My dad and youngest sister. Well, he hasn't spent a day over there for months! Since probably mid september.
Well I'm proud of him anyway ;) He amazes me.
Bedtime is now quite the routine. He has to have 'cook cook', his big cookie monster stuffed animal that used to be Eds. The three cabbage patch dolls, his lil baby dolls, spok (yes, from star trek), and any other lil animals. Cookie monster has to be covered up, and the lil babies have to be under Eli's blanket. The kid is just silly sometimes.
He knows the 'golden arches' of Mcdonalds and is obsessed with frenchfries. He's going to turn into a frenchfry. We can't pull into walmart without him screaming FRENCHFRIES!!! We were driving to Mifflinville a few weeks ago on the interstate and when we got to the bridge he could see the M sign and started yelling in the car 'FRENCHFRIES!!!"
Ok that is all for now ;)

shortie
I love nothing more then to see my little boy learning everyday. He amazes me with his knowledge, his reasoning skills, his language. Some examples: He pulls a pill bottle out of the drawer and proclaims, Empty! The fact that french fries come from ‘Donalds and that his “GaGa” will take him there. His babies need burped and fed and he whips up some invisible goop in a little bowl to spoon feed them. We can watch Elmo on the kiki (computer- on youtube), and that the pee video (Elmo potty time song) is his favorite. Mommy’s toothbrush tastes better then his own. O.o If he doesn’t like what’s on tv he’ll just go turn it off. Sometimes he tries to work the remote to find ‘bob’ (spongebob) or elmo. If he feels you are not listening to him or giving him your full attention he’ll grab your face and make you look right at him.
We are getting him a pretend kitchen for Christmas. I’m so excited. I can’t wait to see the things he comes up with.
He also has a lil boy cousin now, Lelan. When I told Eli we were going to see the baby for the first time, he was so darn excited I could barely keep him from running out the door. When we got there, he immediately wanted the baby on his lap so he could hold him. Then he wanted to feed him, and give him lots of kisses, and rub his head. It was very sweet. I have some pictures which I’ll try to get up soon!

Today
So I have been a bad blogger for the past some months. And I can't promise to be better at it. I want this blog to be sort of like a baby book since I don't have the time to make one otherwise. So it is nice to recall Eli's accomplishments here. I will recall some stories and maybe do better. But chances are I won't ;P
Where to start.
Eli is amazing. He is learning so much everyday. He is starting a language explosion, trying to repeat everything we say. Sometimes it's understandable, sometimes it's only understandable to those closest to him. Last night he was trying to hard to say his name. It was coming out like "E I E I". Friday I came home to the phrases puppy poop and butt paste. Walmart is officially known as frenchfries (which he's gotten REALLY good at saying). No and Mine are very big parts of the vocab. Mine is mostly used when he's gotten a doggie toy and is running around with it. No it used for just about everything. He very much has his own opinion and isn't afraid to tell you about it. It won't be so long until he's really talking and we all will know what he is saying. Oh and mama is officially in his regular vocab now!!! He could say it before but it was a struggle. The past few weeks though it has become easy for him. It's ok except when it's 3 in the morning and all I'm hearing is "maaamaaaa."
It's exciting. Of course he seems like the smartest boy in the world to me. He also loves sitting on the computer and watching you tube. He likes mickey mouse hot dog song, any choo choo soul songs, animals sounds (cows, chickens, geese, sheep etc), elmo videos, and Old Macdonald. We had a brief obsession with cows after we contracted with an amish guy to put a new roof on our house. We went out to his home, and he takes care of milking cows. He said we could go look and Eli was amazed. Then it was fair time and we were able to take him though all of the live stock barns. He loved it. We were standing in front of a pair of cows, and Eli was admiring the one, while the other next to his started a nice deep Mooooooooooooooo. If I could have captured the look on his face, it would have been perfect. He leaned back into me and his eyes got as big as saucers. By the 3rd barn he was running between all of the animals waving and saying "hi" and even petting some.
He follows simple commands, which is nice. Like "shut the door!" or "throw it away." he does not follow other commands like "dont flush the toilet!!" or "put that down!!!" Instead commands like that usually end up with a toilet flushed 10 times or him running behind the recliner with the telephone and hurrying up to push all the buttons before you can get him.
He's very good at running and hiding. He likes to get up the steps quick then hide half under the bed, or hide right in the middle, behind Ed's recliner. He also likes hiding under the kitchen table but I really suprised him this weekend when I went right under with him. Oh the giggles. I need to get a video camera with sound so I can record him.
Anytime you have a 'booboo' he gives kisses. Ed just had his gallbladder out and when Eli saw the lil marks from it he gets his squinty eyes and goes "oooowwwww boo booooo" and starts giving kisses. He's such an affectionate child. Giving hugs and kisses (even to virtual strangers, like the waitress at Bassetts).
We had a lil stint where he had to go to daycare. I think he was temporarily tramatized from it. He apparently is not much for playing with other lil kids his age. It was tramatic for all of us and took about 2 weeks to recover from. Not sure I'll be trying that again until he's a bit older.
He has his little 'babies' that go to bed with him (glow worm, a puppy dog, elmo, spok (like from star trek)). Oh and of course his burpies. And it's not just one burpie, it's often 3 burpies. He takes his glow worm and puts him over his shoulder, and pats his back then goes "BURRRRRRRRP!" like the glow worm let out a big one.
He can put his shoes on by himself..most of the time on the right feet. He almost entirely uses his left hand for everything and I really do believe he will be a lefty (much to Dads dismay!)
He loves playing outside and I'm a lil weary about winter setting in. And he loves going places, although you have to either go in the morning, or after afternoon nap. He's cut himself down to 1 nap a day, mid afternoon. It's working ok.
Well that is my updates for now. I will try to post some pictures and the link to the youtube with his video's.
And if I think of anything else of course, I'll update!

Mom's a bum
I haven't taken any pictures lately. I will. This weekend :-D Eli is doing fantastic. He's very small for his age but I am tryin to take that with a grain of salt. He is in the 5% for his height and weight and actually lost half an inch between his 12 mo and 15 mo appt. o.O (someone measured wrong).
He's getting teeth galore and they are causing some issues. I feel so bad for him. I'm just hoping they come in quickly and we get it over with!!
He's a very active little kid. Always running away from you. Climbing on the table. Getting into everything... *sigh* :P It's so hard to not be yelling no all the time. He's always amazingly affectionate. I love it. He gives the best hugs and kisses and is blowing kisses now. It just melts my heart.
He loves the fact that he can go outside and pick rasberries or fresh peas (although dismayed that the strawberries are gone). He understands so well! He tries to repeat about any word you say, and often times it's just a jumble but he's getting there. He's also attempting to potty train. He can't say poop (or has no desire to?) but he will say dirty. At first it was AFTER he went. Then in the middle of it.. but now he's attempting to tell us he's dirty "right" before it happens. I've sat him on the seat a few times and he squeezes, but nothing has happened yet. It's okay. He's young and we aren't pushing it! Now if I could get him to be a little more enthusiastic about brushing his teeth.
Time is going by fast and and my baby is now a toddler. A walking, talking, able to make simple decisions on his own toddler. :-D
Life is grand!

Some words
I know I mostly post pictures..so now I need to explain some of them.
I'm at work though and can't see what the pictures are, which I posted last night, so I'll have to go from memory.
I know there is a messy face one.. that's not abnormal. The kid is a pretty messy eater. He also enjoys throwing his food all over the floor and whatnot. I guess he thinks the dogs are starving or something. Every now and then he'll throw a fork or a plate and hit one of them. Then we get a "yulp", but in dogs the need to scrounge off of their human counterparts is stronger then their self presservation instincts.
I know there are some pictures of 'glove hands' :-D Eli likes getting into the kitchen drawers and taking out the oven mits. We then put on our glove hands and smack each other silly.
Theres some pictures of Eli messing around with vaseline. ;P The other night I left him alone for 5 minutes. 5 minutes I swear!!! He got the tub of vaseline opened and had it gobbed all on his hands, his face, the keyboard, the mouse, and the computer chair. I wasn't to happy but I wasn't that upset either because it was funny. And fyi diaper wipes work really well at cleaning up that greasy slop.
What else is going on...
Eli got in a molar. Which is strange. I thought he would get on the bottom, the teeth next to his two front teeth. Instead he threw us for a loop and got in a tooth on the top, way in the back. And of course he won't let you see in his mouth, or brush his teeth for that matter. He's very tight lipped at times.
His understanding his so amazing. For awhile now we have noticed he understands when you ask him to do certain things, like finding a pair of shorts or picking up a certain toy. My mom was babysitting him one day and said "hey you got a new toy!!" which Eli immediately ran over to and grabbed to show off. Last night I told him 'Da da' was in the bathroom and to go 'knock on the door and tell him to get the hell out of there". Eli gave me this lil look, ran over to the bathroom, started banging on the door and yelling his own jibberish version of get the hell out.
He also enjoys pushing me around when he wants my attention, which is pretty much all the time. He's pretty strong too! But he can be content to sit and get into things on his own. Especially if it's something I don't really want him to get into.
He is obsessed with our strawberry plants. You take him outside and he goes running right over 'straw straw straw" and will push through the plants and pull off the berries. I just need to teach him how to figure out what is ripe and what is not.
Well I think that is a fairly good update for now. :-D I'm sure this summer is going to be a blast!
I'm at work though and can't see what the pictures are, which I posted last night, so I'll have to go from memory.
I know there is a messy face one.. that's not abnormal. The kid is a pretty messy eater. He also enjoys throwing his food all over the floor and whatnot. I guess he thinks the dogs are starving or something. Every now and then he'll throw a fork or a plate and hit one of them. Then we get a "yulp", but in dogs the need to scrounge off of their human counterparts is stronger then their self presservation instincts.
I know there are some pictures of 'glove hands' :-D Eli likes getting into the kitchen drawers and taking out the oven mits. We then put on our glove hands and smack each other silly.
Theres some pictures of Eli messing around with vaseline. ;P The other night I left him alone for 5 minutes. 5 minutes I swear!!! He got the tub of vaseline opened and had it gobbed all on his hands, his face, the keyboard, the mouse, and the computer chair. I wasn't to happy but I wasn't that upset either because it was funny. And fyi diaper wipes work really well at cleaning up that greasy slop.
