Eli at 15 months

Haven't done this in awhile...
Here's what our little man is up to these days...

-Walking all over! He's been walking for a little over a month now. He walks a little funny with his left foot turned in and he leads with his left hip. I had our doctor check him out earlier this week and he says to give it about 1 more month and if he's still doing it, we'll take an x-ray and see what's going on.
-Finally starting to say a few more words. Mama, Dada, ball (bah!), water (wawa! or wawer!), up (puh!), night-night (nigh-nigh), and he's starting making sounds for these words, but I wouldn't begin to know how to record them...Grandma, Grandpa, brother, paci
-He's still such a happy boy - loves to smile, laugh, wave, blow kisses, get tickled
-He's not eating that great anymore, I think mainly due to teething. He hates all pasta and immediately spits it out if you actually manage to get it in his mouth. He loves cereal, applesauce, cantaloupe, watermelon, strawberries, yogurt, cereal bars, crackers, PB&J sandwiches, tacos. He LOVES feeding himself, so anytime he has a taco or a sandwich that he can hold on his own, he goes to town!
-Teething. I'll have to make sure when he wakes up from nap, but I think he has a total of 9 teeth: 4 top front, 3 bottom, 2 molars on top. He's been digging his paci lately because of all his teething. Funny how I took the paci away from Ethan at 10 months, but I really don't care with Eli. I know I won't let him be the 3 year old walking around with his paci in his mouth, so if it makes him feel better while teething, so be it. Funny how you're so much more laid back with the second child!
-Swimming - we go swimming most days of the week, and Eli is off and on with the pool. If it's really hot, he enjoys sitting in his boat and floating/splashing around the pool. If it's not so warm, he doesn't really want to be in the water, so he just wanders around the pool area, picking up rocks from the landscaping areas and throwing them all around.
-Weight: 20 pounds, 6.5 ounces. He's such a scrawny little guy!

We sure do love him!
