This last month has just flown by! Eli is getting bigger and stronger everyday. He is very interested in everything around him and wants to check it all out. I love to watch his little fingers touch and bang on all he touches. He puts everything in his mouth just like all babies! He loves his Lilly and smiles and laughs when he sees her. Lilly and Roxie are very good with him and let him bang on them and grab their faces. Eli is not afraid of dogs at all! His face had been licked one to many times though I think. We had a great time camping over Labor Day and he loved his new swing that grandpa rigged up on the buck pole for him!
He is rolling over and "swimming" on the floor when he is on his tummy. Tonight was a big milestone. He stayed on his hands and knees and rocked back and forth. The look on his face was one of "I have no idea what I am doing, but I think I like it." Watching him grow is so amazing for us and we love to see him master each new task!
The last picture was our trip to the orchard this past weekend. Eli put the little apples right up to his mouth. If he would have had teeth he just might have been able to eat it!!
Well I have to say that Eli is the cutest little porcupine I ever did see!! This past weekend was the Halloween weekend at our campground and he was the hit. He was robbed of first place in the costume contest by a pirate (so not as cute as him). He is continuing to roll and turn a round with his arms. Still no teeth though!!! He has mastered picking up his puffs and getting them in his mouth. Some of them still end up on the floor (which the dogs love) or in his highchair somewhere! He is growing fast and keeps us on our toes everyday! He is becoming buds with Troy, the little boy at daycare. They have screaming matches and Eli loves to watch him run around! We will keep evveryone updated!!
