Big news! Eli took his first steps on Monday! He walked up to four steps between Eric and me. It was so fun and exciting...until he fell on his nose and the party was over. So, we practice everyday and will hopefully catch a photo or video of it soon. Until then, just some mundane, run of the mill, everyday cuteness:
Who dressed this child?
So happy!
Just woke up - groggy and shaggy.
Fall is starting to come to Colorado and we've been spending lots of time outside in it. Eli is always calm, serene, and still when he's outside in the quiet forest, in sharp contrast to everywhere else. He gently explores his surroundings in a curious but unobtrusive way. It's really sweet to watch.
What do you see little one?
He's consistently signing and saying (sort of) airplane.
Playing Eli's special brand of Peek-A-Boo (hands on temples).
Peek-A-Boo!
We found a fun little table and chairs at consignment yesterday. Fun!
On the days we stay around the house, I break out all the fun, clashy clothes.
Eli also got a fun used cozy coupe at consignment! He can't really propel himself anywhere, but he loves to steer and beep the horn.
Today after lunch I loaded Eli, a blanket, and some toys in a laundry basket and headed out to the porch to play.
Graceful exit.
Funny face and tai chi move.
New pre-walking crawling technique.
Maestro playing the alligator xylophone.
The drool continues to pour.
He climbs anything now.
Admiring the view up on tippytoes.
Daddy drives him around and he LOVES it.
Naked dinner.
I love these fellas.

Adorable pics as always! Off the subject... is Eric's shirt from Arches National Park? Where is the arch on the image located or do you know what it is called? Random.

Go, Eli, Go! I love the cheeks on #4.
And love your sandals, cutie! Lucas wore the same ones when he first started walking, and we loved them so much that we've bought online the same pair every summer but in different colors! I think Abram is sporting them these days as well...
Uh ... Didn't you have some semi-recent pictures of people jumping on that trampoline?
Abram does have the same sandals and loves them. Katie also has them in pink. They really like being able to get them on and off on their own.
Trampoline's not broken...it just looks like it in that picture. That's the padding from around the sides that's hanging down...it's in pretty rough shape.
