This little dude is becoming a little boy. Be still my heart. As much as I love everything about this stage, part of me cannot wait until he's running around, laughing, talking and being silly. He has the best* personality and I can't wait to see it continue develop. (*In this instance, 'best' clearly means silly and ornery with a little attitude on the side).
Eli during your 8th month of life you...
- got to enjoy the warm weather in your stroller....like a big boy!
- went to the park and got to swing for the first time. You love it!
- spent your first evening with a {paid} babysitter - Taylor Kayser. You were asleep the entire time she was here and didn't even know we were gone :)
- watched daddy shovel...and shovel...and shovel...and promise to buy a snowblower next year.
- want anything you don't have. If you have a ball, you want the block. If you have the block, you want the ball.
- have started pulling your knees underneath you. Oh boy.
- spent two weeks with Gryff at our house. You love him and think playing fetch is the best game ever. He's slowly warming up to you.
- have a new cousin - Joel Dean. You two are sure to get into some trouble in the coming years!
- took your first road trip. We loaded you up at bedtime to make the 10.5 hour trip to Houston and you did GREAT! Now we'll hope your first plane ride this summer goes just as smoothly.

Eli, you grow and change every day. You are looking and acting more and more like a little boy. Miss Dawn says she loves watching you and we get compliments all the time about how adorable you are. You are starting to look more and more like your daddy and seem to be favoring your left hand. You love eating anything we put in front of you (including pineapple) and love playing with your stacking bear, reading books, and staring out the window.
Can't wait to see what this spring will bring!
