Eli Thursday

57 weeks


One of his favorite things to do lately is stand on the bed in the nursery and look out the window. It's not quite as good as actually being outside, but when there's a cold spring wind blowing it's about as close as you can get.

Week 55



He's so snuggly and sweet after bath time. I love it.

Week 54


Eli's current favorite activities: messing up the rugs and swiping the kitchen towels from the oven handle so he can put them on his head. (The best is when he covers up his whole face and then crawls as fast as he can. It's hilarious to everyone involved, especially himself.)

Mom's current favorite activity: leaving the big open bag of rice on the kitchen floor instead of pouring it into buckets where it belongs. It's hard to do chores like that when I could be playing peek-a-boo with a shirtless baby on the kitchen floor though, you know?

Week 53


Cousin Levi has been hanging out with us for a few days every other week. It's pretty cute to see them play with each other. Here he's helping him walk back and forth in the living room, which Eli thought was hilarious. Maybe this will get him a little more interested in walking, which I'm not sure I want to encourage or not yet. Haha. :)

Week 52


He shoved the rest of his granola bar in his mouth just as I took the picture. The nut seems to think that the only acceptable way to eat food is to have your mouth stuffed to capacity (or better yet, overflowing). It makes me a little crazy sometimes. Even though I know how to do the Heimlich (yeah I know they updated the name but I also don't care... haha), I'd really rather not have the need arise at all.

Week 51


His current favorite form of mischief to get into is digging in the garbage. I just wish I had a picture of the impish grin he gave me when I found him, Stinker!

Week 50


You can only fight naps for so long before sleep wins. 


That little hand holding his graham cracker! Oh I just love this tiny man.

This cheap bubble machine is one of the best purchases I've made. It's also apparently the most amazing thing Eli has ever seen.




I love that little pointing finger.

I've started bathing Eli almost every night. It's partially for fun, and partially because this little boy is already turning into a dirt magnet. 


Annnnd it's also partially because his little baby self is so darn cute, especially when he's trying to figure out what's going on with the bubbles on his toesies.

Two of his favorite pastimes combined: emptying the dirty clothes hamper, and playing peek-a-boo. 


He finds fun in everything, and it makes me so happy.

Looks like he is going to be a pyro like his parents. He was completely mesmerized by these sparklers.

They were getting a little stir-crazy today, so I squished Eli and cousin Levi in the stroller and took a little field trip to get the mail. There was much giggling and no eye gouging, so I'd say it was a smashing success!

We introduced Eli to snow. He was not impressed.

Eli Thursday (and Merry Christmas!)

I think his favorite part of his first Christmas was the piles of wrapping paper. Silly little dude!

Eli loves playing the piano, and it's even better on Daddy's lap.

He's always, always, always trying to "help" me type on my computer. His busy little hands are sure cute, but sometimes I really need to get some things done, you know? Today I had a stroke of genius and dug up Dallin's old, broken computer for him to play with. He was in heaven... And maybe a little confused when I didn't stop him from banging on the keys to his heart's delight.  

Also, he loves to pull off his socks, which means there isn't a corner of the house that isn't hiding stray little baby socks. Silly dude.

I don't think I've ever been this excited for Christmas, and that's probably mostly because of how much fun it is to watch Eli take everything in. He especially loves touching the lights on the tree. It's so adorable. Also, I am really shocked that the presents under the tree haven't even been touched by him yet... but that's probably just a matter of time. ;)

This Thanksgiving I'm thankful for my sweet little turkey. He often falls asleep when he nurses, and I love soaking up as many snuggles as I can. I'm going to miss this!

We put up our Christmas tree yesterday, and he had lots of fun crawling underneath, trying to eat the ornaments, and getting into mischief in general. I hope he loves Christmas as much as his mama!

See that little face? That right there is what pure happiness looks like.
