Awww

Eli and his friend, Sadie, like to swing together. We had a tough time getting both of them to look at the camera at the same time.

Happy Halloween

Hiking

We took Eli on his very first hike for Family Night. He was pretty content just gumming the side of the kid carrier. We saw a really spectacular sunset and enjoyed fabulous Phoenix fall weather.

Best Friends

Eli and his best friend Sydnie love the same things--wiggling and licking/chewing on things they're not supposed to. Both share a fascination with Eli's toes. Sydnie is so sweet she doesn't even mind if Eli pulls her fur and ears. At this point, however, Sydnie is much better trained and smarter than Eli. He'll catch up at some point.

Squash

We finally convinced Eli that eating from a spoon isn't so terrible after all.

Tiger belly

Eli never gets tired of playing Tiger Belly with his dad. Gotta love baby giggles.

Time for a crib bumper

I went to get Eli from his nap and found him like this. He was not happy and the fact that he can only push himself backward did not help.
