Remember this forever and other notes

Oh Eli, tonight we were all giggling when I would "toss" you up in the air and say jump!  You would laugh and laugh and Lila enjoyed you drooling on my head as I lifted you.  You drool a lot.  A lot a lot.  

You also recently found your feet.  You don't grab them while laying down but when sitting up in my lap you love to check them out.  I really think you want to put them in your mouth though.  You want to out everything in your mouth.  You grab things so well and as soon as you have hold, straight to the mouth they got. A few nights ago you said hi, you said it twice and back to me... Little genius :) 

This afternoon I was holding you in my lap and you were looking up smiling at me.  Your tiny little feet held in my hand.  I want to remember those toes forever, your gummy baby smile always, I want I close my eyes and be able to see your pretty eyes and lashes that curl on the sides.  You smile always.  You love to touch my face, you love to grab Lila's hair.  You love to watch daddy talk and you yelp to get someone's attention (usually your sisters)  

We got you a potty and you have used it twice.  You also went swimming for the first time a few days ago.  You seemed to enjoy the water and liked splashing but mostly likes watching your sister.  

You have started noticing Barn a lot and you watch her walk around.  She distracts you from napping when she walks by.  

You had a little cold recently and kept on like a little champ.  You were good to go as long as you were in my arms (which is fine by me) 

Eli buddy, I love you forever.
