You decide...

I thought I'd post a couple videos to show you some of Eli's skills :) Sorry about the 'no pants' thing. I had just changed his diaper, and hadn't put his pants back on...well...shorts. I'm afraid it's never going to be cool enough here for pants...

Anyway, we've been working a little more with Eli and his 'crawling'. This is what he does instead of crawling:

Kinda funny :) He will also roll to an object he wants:

The more we work with him laying on the floor (as opposed to sitting him down...which is really what I've done with him for a while now...) the quicker he does things. He would rarely roll like that, and in just the last few days he's really started to roll around to get things. He's figuring out ways to get what he wants :) We'll keep workin'...who knows? Maybe he will crawl!

I personally think one of the reasons he isn't so 'mobile' is because he is workin' on his verbal skills. Watch this video:

Did you hear him say 'Kitty' and 'Up'?! I know it may not sound like kitty completely, but as soon as we walk into Ryan & Jennifer's house that's what he says...and as soon as I say 'say kitty' he says that. Smarty pants. The other day he was eating breakfast, and was done. He looked right at me and said 'up'! AND, today when Jennifer came over as soon as she walked in he looked up and said 'aunty'. He also will say 'dadadada' when daddy gets home. SO, I think he makes up for the 'not moving so much' with talkin' up a storm :) SO, you decide...do you think he's talkin', or is it just coincidence? I'm prone to think my child is brilliant...
