More steps and now a door...

Eli is practicing his walking now. He can only go about two steps and then he falls, usually into mama or daddy's arms. And he is still very, very wobbly when he stands on his own. But when he goes a step, he is SUPER proud of himself and I just love the look of surprise on his face.

But Eli has also been hard at work on skills other than walking lately.

He can now open the door of his room at daycare and leave. Yep, he has watched enough people go in and out of the door that he pulls down on the handle and pulls on the door at the same time. Oh dear....

Smart, silly boy

It is getting a bit harder to leave Eli at daycare because he knows when I am leaving and he doesn't like it one bit! Today after I stopped over in the afternoon to nurse him, he started crying just as I started walking away. And I can't sneak out anymore because he pays too close attention to me. Oh boy, he is a smart guy.

He has been doing this funny thing for the last few days also. He crinkles his nose and breathes really loudly through his mouth and nose. It is sort of like he is laughing but also like he is trying to imitate a mad bull. We can't quite figure him out :)
