18 Months of Laughter

This morning Eli and I went to see Dr. K for Mr. E's 18 month checkup!! 18 months... 18 MONTHS... WHAT?! When did that happen??!!! My baby is such a little boy now... I can't believe it's been 18 1/2 months since our beautiful bundle of JOY came into our lives and changed it (and us) forever! Even on the days when I look like I've been to battle (and lost), haven't had a shower, feel ready to pull my hair out... I can say with absolute certainty that I wouldn't trade that wonderful ray of sunshine that is now a TODDLER for anything in this world!! He makes his Mommy's days!
I thought I would just take a moment to give an Eli update... no pictures! I need to learn from my friend Ashleigh Anne and take my camera to the doctor for pics!!! I always forget!!

Our 18 month boy:
*Dr. K says he's perfect! We knew this already of course but she is an unbiased person! LOL
*She couldn't give me a height percentage because Eli is off the charts... basketball player maybe?
*He weighs 29 pounds exactly which puts him in the 50th percentile.
*On the 9-24 month checklist there is only one thing that he "can't" do... drink out of a cup without a lid without spilling it.... I say "can't" loosely because I haven't been brave enough to let him try!!!
*Eli talks up a storm! A few of his favorite words are: puppy, Elmo, Brewster, Mommy, Daddy, EAT, SNACK, phone, please, more, play, toys, Mickey, and MILK!!!
*His favorite songs are: Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, B-I-B-L-E, Row Row Row Your Boat, and the Itsy Bitsy Spider.
*Some of my favorite things that Eli does or says right now: He does the "love" sign during Jesus loves me, says "help" when he actually needs my help, says "I wub u Mommy!", sings and dances to his ABC's and to Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, sings "Bad Boys", and pretend calls people on his phone and says, "Hey (insert name here) sup?"
*Eli's favorite people: Daddy, Mommy, Paw Paw, Maw Maw, Gogee, G-Paw, P-Paw & the other P-Paw (because he can't say P-Maw consistently yet!), GG, Pop, and the babies (abby and alena).
*Eli can't sleep without his wubby which makes me feel the urgent need to buy replicas!!!
*He loves to play patty cake with his green monkey!
*He LOVES milk!!!
*As always his laugh makes the entire world brighter... seriously, you think it's the sun but it's not... it's me beaming from Boston because Eli laughed!! LOL
*The one sure way that I can get E to stop crying is to sing The Mary Tyler Moore theme song... I've sung it to him since he was a little baby and he's always responded to it... I have no idea why!

We have definitely entered the toddler years and with that has come (with many more to come) many new experiences and hurdles. I look forward to each moment with our little monkey because no moment is dull!!

These are the thoughts of a proud Mommy... please understand that they don't come from a boastful heart... I love Eli with all my heart and know that he is who he is not because of me but because God knit him together and allows me to guide him through this thing called life as I allow Him to guide me! Blessings!!
