So here are a few things Eli has picked up in the last week or two. He can now say mom, dad, dog, ball, girls, and bus (although they are not perfectly clear as you would expect). He will also look at things if we ask them where they are, such as: the fan, his water, and any of the above words. I'm sure I am leaving things out, but it is fun to keep a date on this type of thing. Also, he is now crawling as fast as possible and still walking with his walker. He recently learned to turn his walker and to pull it backward if he gets stuck. It was fun to watch him learn it. In 20 minutes he went from unable to turn to turning 180 degrees (once) and making small turns with ease. He was very excited and didn't want to stop (thus the 20 mintues).
Below I have some pictures of our yard last year about this time and then this year. It didn't look too good all last year, but finally finished coming in this spring. We got a decent amount of rain (for Tri-Cities) this year, so these pictures are without the yard being watered. Thanks to everyone who helped install the sprinkler system! There are some recent Eli pics too.
After (the weeds you can see belong to the neighbor) :)
Getting ready for the soccer game
Discovering the unending roll of fun
Playin' in the water
Helping dad outside
Eating a burrito (he actually took bites and ate it like this)
