November felt like a crazy month. I have been so blessed with more photo
shoots this year and just recently (like Thursday) bought the beginnings of an
indoor studio setup. Eli has had a good month, but the entire family has been
sick off and on throughout, so he’s been a little cooped up. I definitely need
to sign him up for weekly classes or something to get all that energy out. It’s
almost Christmas guys! We just need to hang on for a couple more weeks.
Well, we have one month to go before this project is done! I can’t believe Eli is almost two.
Eli: 23 months
I say new words like… I love you momma, “a-on” (meaning off), tiger, fox, tent, machine, coffee, shoes on, pick up, Santa, Chuggington, tv, Elmo (hangs head in shame- I don’t know if we’re actually watching more television, or if he’s just more cognizant of it. We honestly haven’t watched any Sesame Street since early October)
My favorite food is I can’t say! He’s recently decided he “no like” everything he used to. I can almost always get him to eat a Gerber pouch- but everything from cookies to quesadillas he “no like.”
My favorite toy is any sort of train or truck- and Christmas ornament contraband, of course. I found a mini train ornament from the advent calendar that I enjoy.
Some other things I do include…tucking mom and dad into bed when they look sleepy. I turn off all the lights and shut the door and shush them when they try to talk. I still spend lots of time every day washing the dishes and washing my hands. I love to figure out how things work, and I helped dad fix my toy drill. Dad gave me my very own screwdriver which I used to fix lots of other things in the house, Optimus included. I love looking at my own baby books and point out the baby in every picture. I went to my first movie, The Good Dinosaur, and got my first haircut. I didn’t mind the haircut too much because they let me sit in a fire truck and car and play with a monster truck. I also can “count” to 7.” I love bear hugs and pretending to be cold as well as pretending to drink coffee.
Memorable Moment for Mom was: when, while at the grocery store, I pointed out our ‘friend’ Santa to which Eli replied, “No like Santa.” I guess I should have listened because that mall Santa terrified him into such hysterics they moved us along without even a screaming baby/mom in picture image.
