Well, today starts a new time for America, and I'm excited to see if our new president can turn this whole mess of a country around! Good luck...wouldn't take that job in a million years. We celebrated election day by ordering pizza, putting Eli to bed, and watching the results! I can't wait to tell him about all the political craziness during the year he was born and share with him how fortunate he is to have been born into an America where a black man can be president. What a historic year to be born in! It brings me to tears. Eli is still just crazy about walking. It's all we do. His walker definitely helps him get where he wants to go, but we still have to spot him so much it's not all that much better than him just holding our fingers. It's good practice though. I think the most steps he's taken on his own without holding onto anything is about five. I'm ready for him to be an expert walker, and move on from this in-between stage. He still says Dada all day long with no sign of Mama in the near future, but I'm working on it ;-) Here are the words he definitely recognizes: Mama, Dada, Rica, plants, pictures, food, more, fan, snack, bath, drink, milk, music, hi and bye bye (trying to teach him to wave). Brandon put streamers on his fan in his room, so now we say "Turn on your fan" and he takes his hand and pushes the switch on the wall. Then we tell him to "turn off the fan" and he does the same and looks really fast to see the results. It's so dang cute! The other new aspect is brushing his teeth...I can actually say teeth and not tooth since he has his second! He loves for me to brush his little teeth after nursing before bed. It's hilarious! We just love our little wild guy!
