Our (almost) daily Eli update

Nothing too new to update, just thought I'd send out some more super-cute pictures of our boy. He's working on rolling over...not too much longer now! He likes it when I help him roll back and forth. He's getting better about being on his belly too. He will pick his head up and look around for about 3 minutes before he starts crying to be turned back over. That's about 3 minutes longer than he used to hang out on his belly. Our days are filled with playing. It's pretty fun being a mom :) I try and read to him every day-although today I think he was more interested in eating the book than reading it. One of my new favorite things he does is give me kisses...well...sort of. I put my cheek up to his mouth and he licks my face. It makes me laugh every time he does it.
Yesterday Edgar and I went for a walk with Eli. It was fairly chilly (ya know...50 degrees or so...don't laugh all you Michiganders) so Eli got a little bundled up. I thought he looked so cute in his little jacket.
Edgar did most of the work carrying him. He will often take Eli on walks when he gets home from work-usually when I am tutoring. It's nice daddy-Eli time. We went as a family last night, though, and had a fun time walking together. It was pretty cold and dark by the time we got back, but Eli didn't seem to mind much.
Here's a little video of Eli playing with a rattle he got for Christmas. His hand dexterity is getting so much better! He grabs onto things really well and is getting better at grabbing things and putting them in his mouth...which is good for the 'teething' thing, but not so good for the 'junk on the floor' thing...guess I better start vacuuming more often...
Enjoy him! (We sure do!)
