Eli waves, claps, and is chattering away. Drake didn't do those things quite as purposely at that age. However, Eli is just now walking really well, compared to Drake walking by 11 months. It's funny to me how different they are developmentally. Eli's wave is the cutest thing. He moves his fingers so slowly and deliberately, as if to not mess up the wave goodbye. Dr. Dorsey got to see him in action; he waved and said "bye" at his checkup.
Our peds office does 15 and 18 month checkups, so we'll see more of Dr. Dorsey soon. Then we'll have everyone on the YEARLY schedule. I can't wait. I know Tessa will have to go more frequently when we first get home, but hopefully they'll all be on the same schedule within a year. Eli has also become a major Daddy's boy!!! His molars are coming in, so he's been waking up during the night this week. Eric gets up now, since I always did it to breastfeed. After about ten minutes, Eli was still crying, so I got up to check on them. I took him and all was well.....until Eric walked out. Eli LOST IT. Completely. Eric had to come back. My sweet thing loves his Daddy. I'm so glad they have that bond now, since I always get it immediately with breastfeeding.
I just wanted to take a minute and brag about my sweet baby. I sure do love that stinker! I thought it was time he had an update all to himself!
