Elijah loves looking out our front door
He's standing up so big and strong!
He loves to be by mommy, and loves to pull himself up to her work chair whenever she's sitting there, or when she's not he likes to push it around the room while walking behind it.
Oh how I love our boy's eyes
He's a smart cookie. Reaching for the plastic bag in our recycling bin through his baby gate
Standing and pushing around his chair/seat
Just like many other babies, kitchen gadgets and boxes often beat toys
He thinks he's pretty funny. And he is. ;) He gets a kick out of making noises with his mouth.
If I sit on the floor to be near him, he immediately crawls over and pulls himself up on me. Which is super fun and sweet, so long as I'm not trying to do something. :)
The kid could find plastic in a haystack
But gratefully he's learning "no touch" and starting to react to it well without us having to distract him or move him away from the object.
He's getting so good at walking along while pushing things... like my work chair.
He is just seriously so much fun to watch! He can play well on his own for a while if he's in the right mood, and he loves to explore.
He's figuring out what things can do. Like here he lightly hits the bowl and watches it spin in circles over and over until it comes to a stop. He thinks for a second and then hits it again, starting the process over. It's so incredible to just watch his little mind working and figuring things out!

when he can't have what he wants
wiping his face

sometimes when mommy leaves the room he'll throw a 2-year-old-size fit
We are so amazed at his sunny disposition and ability to go with the flow! He's a pretty chill guy and we couldn't love him more!!
Next up - we'll have a ONE YEAR OLD!!!! EEK! How is that possible?!
**In the midst of these last photos, he's been fighting off "hand-foot-mouth disease" since Friday. That's why you see sores on his mouth and band-aids all over. Ugh. Please pray it's over soon! We are just so done with this sickness stuff!**
