The age of development

I'm not sure how many people still read this since we don't update it enough, but here are some pictures and videos from March and April. As for updates our little Eli is working on tooth number six (five just broke through). He is a speed crawler and can walk with the help of a walker. He loves older kids still and loves to play with the kids in the neighborhood. His first word was dog (thanks to his grandpa and his love of dogs) and he will just sit at the window and yell dog repeatedly at the top of his lungs if he sees one outside (most of our neighbors have one). These pictures are in order by date with the top ones from early March going through Mid April at the bottom.

One of his first attempts down the slide, trusting Dad and having fun!

His first trike (can convert from dad (or mom) powered to baby powered, pretty cool). Eli loves to go out in it when the neighbor kids are riding their bikes around.

He would rather push the stroller than be in it.

Last are a couple of videos. They are both from April 2-3 weekend. One is Eli crawling to his walker, then proceeding to walk. The 2nd is of Eli enjoying the birds at the zoo. Enjoy.
