always on the move.

To say that Mr. Eli is always on the move is quite definitely an understatement. I simply look at him and think "Who is this little boy that is standing? Who could this be that is showing more and more independence by the day? Is this the Eli that used to lay and play on his playmat for any length of time? Who is this little boy that is so curious about everything in our home? Who can this be that crawls faster and faster when he realizes that mama is on his heels?"


He certainly gives me a run for my money each and every day as I can't take my eyes off of him for even a second. We just love his curiosity and laugh at his excitement towards things that seem so mundane! While his colorful toys keep him busy, some of his favorite "other toys" include the plant in our entry way, coffee table decoration, Carmen's well-loved dog toys (yuck!), wooden blinds, any speck of anything that is on the tile entryway floor, a sash that hangs from one of my shirts in our walk-in closet, our antique sewing machine table, and his elephant night-light.

Who needs a gym membership when you can chase, carry, and play with a 20 pound ball of energy all day, each day?!?
