Eli at Warp Speed

This post will be shamelessly devoted to Eli's development because I know that, all too soon, I will forget it all.

How you doin?

Eli is apparently growing and learning at warp speed.  I'm not kidding.  It's kind of scary.  Quick little update on what our almost-18-month old is up to...He began walking at 16 months and now that he has that mastered, he's moved on to his verbal development.  In the last three weeks he has gone from saying about three words to:

- Knowing animal sounds (dog, duck, cow, rooster, lion and pig)
- Saying car, more, shoe, hot, hat, and choo choo
- Being able to identify (point to) a dump truck, tractor, cement truck, car trailer, firetruck, garbage truck, crane, monster truck, airplane, train, and bus
- Knowing his eyes, ears, mouth, nose, fingers, hand, toes, foot, and hair
- Being able to identify extended family members...and Santa Clause
- Knowing how to stomp, spin and do a somersault!

In conclusion, this stage is SO MUCH FUN!
