Where has the time gone? It seems like just yesterday, our little Man Eli was just a baby.  He definitely isn't a baby anymore. He RUNS and climbs on everything!

Eli continues to be a sensitive little guy who just loves to be held and loved on. He has started to get an attitude and will throw a temper tantrum when he doesn't necessarily get what he wants, however his tantrums don't last long! He started to hit occasionally and has been known to bite Mia! Overall, he is a happy, easy going toddler who just wants to do what his big sister is doing!

Eli loves all electronic things, including phones, cords, the vacuum, pretty much anything that has a machine! Friday is a big day in our house because Eli stands in the kitchen window and watches the trash truck, this boy has a special love for trucks and motorcycles!
