One & A Half Years Old!

Eli,

Sweet boy, you are a year and a half old, half way to two years! It seems like yesterday we were bringing you home from the hospital, where does the time go?! You are the perfect fit for our family of 4 and I wouldn't have it any other way! You are learning and growing so much and you have the cutest, sweetest, funniest little personality! We LOVE you so much, Happy 1.5 Birthday!!!

Love,

Mommy, Daddy & Rylee 

• You are wearing size 6 shoe, size 5 diaper, 12-18 month shorts/pants and 18-24 month shirts.
• You are a little parrot and try to say everything we say, but words you say on your own are: mama, daddy, sissy, Ruger, doggie, go-go, eat, shoe, boot, hat, dude, nah-nah (no), yes (have only said 2-3 times), nana (banana)
• You are signing: eat, thank you, please, help, more, milk, snack (you made up on your own, its very close to the sign for milk)
• If we ask you a yes or no question you will either shake your head no or say with much enthusiasm "yeah!"
• You know all your facial features and most body parts.
• Most of the time I can tell you to go get me a diaper to change you and you will go and get one.
• When you poop you say, "Ewwww!"
• You just started taking one nap a day, the time change really caused this. You are now sleeping till 7 or 7:30, instead of 6 or 6:30 and napping 2 to 3 hours.
• You always eat a HUGE breakfast and then don't really care too much about lunch, but then will pig out again at dinner.
• You are a total sweet monster, you love cake, cookies, donuts, ice-cream, candy, you name you love it and want it all the time!
• You copy everything your sister does, including the naughty stuff. 
• You love hats and shoes! You are constantly putting on Ry's dress up shoes (Daddy is not a fan of this), our shoes and slippers. You also love to wear hats, or underwear (clean of course)!
• You are super silly, instigating fights with Rylee, not listening, dancing crazy and making silly facial expressions.
• You love to play outside with Ry and the big kids in our cul-de-sac. You love to slide and swing and just run wild!
• You love to play with the vacuum and you don't mind the small one for the tile, but will stay clear of the big one for the carpet.
• You hate to get water in your face, which concerns me with your upcoming swimming lessons.
• You can climb pretty much anything you want to, not sure who you got that from ;0)
• You love to wave and blow kisses to people, even complete strangers. We will be walking to the car from a store and you will wave at cars driving by or people just walking by, you're a HUGE flirt!
• You LOVE to snuggle and this makes me extremely happy!
• You still love your blankie and thumb, but it's ok with me because it's extremely cute!

Happy Half Birthday sweet, silly, handsome little man! We LOVE you to pieces!!!
