He's two!!

Eli turned 2 a few weeks ago. The past year has just flown by. He's gone from a baby to a little boy in the blink of an eye. We had a little party on the Thurs before his birthday at home, then a big family party to celebrate both Evelyn and Eli's birthdays at the Rex's.

Here are 10 things about Eli at age two:

1. He's becoming quite the performer. He loves to make people laugh and his current favorite is making funny faces to strangers in line behiend us in grocery lines.


2. Every little scrape needs a bandaid and not a small bandaid, but the biggest one possible.


3. If he could be naked all day he would be.


4. He loves to copy his Dad. If Brent says a word or makes a face during a meal, Eli says it. He pretends to do whatever he is doing. He dances like him, he laughs when he laughs even if he doesn't understand what is funny. He asks for him first thing in the morning and gets SO excited when Brent comes home from work.


5. He asks for more before he's even finished whatever he's eating or playing with.


6. Trucks, airplanes, motorcycles, diggers, dump trucks....you name it. If it has wheels, Eli will like it. He stops to watch the neighbors mow the lawn because of the lawnmower. He's got the boy truck obsession!

7. He loves the water. He's not scared at all of it. He loves waterslides, the bigger, the better. The waterpark and especially the big bucket at the southland leisure centre is his #1 favorite thing to do. Even just pouring water from one bucket to another in the back yard can entertain him for quite a while.

8. He loves having company over to our house. The more people to play with him - the better.

9. He can ride a tricycle all by himself.

10. He always pretends to be cooking Eggs. If he's into the pots in the cupboard, or using the play kitchen, if you asking him what he's cooking, it's either Eggs or "hot coffee".

Newest Etsy Find

We are decorating Eli's new room in an airplane theme which he just loves. My newest Etsy purchase is this world map for his room by Marley Ungaro. I just loved all the details on it and thought it would not only look great, but be educational as well. I ordered the biggest size possible. I can't wait to see how it looks in his room.
