Morgan Family

We've had some unbelievable February weather! And boy are we soaking up every bit of possible sunshine that we can! We spent the day with friends at the park yesterday. It was absolutely the most fun Eli has ever had at a playground! He is getting BRAVE! I stood there in disbelief as he made his way to the top of the biggest playset by himself, and didn't even think twice about it! It really shows how much he's grown up even since the fall.

He went up and down a million times. Smiling bigger each time!

If you ask Kres who his best friend is, he proudly shouts 'ELI!!!' Melts my heart to see him making such sweet friends at this age.

After he mastered the smaller slide, he ventured over to the big kid slide. Keely was sweet and decided to go with him the first time.

Then he flew on down by himself!

Macey took a turn with Eli too.

This was the only time he stopped!

I've said it before, but I really love this age! Just for my memory's sake, here are a few funny/favorite things that Eli's saying and doing:

*Trying to count with his fingers. He works so hard to get those 2 fingers up!

*Some of my favorite words he says: Heiney, minute, outside(si-side), heart, highchair, ouch, baseball/basketball, jacket, pits(chips), golf club. He'll pretty much repeat anything you ask him to now, which has made things really fun!

*Phrases he can put together: "keys to car" "go down slide" "go fast" "Where mommy go?" "Hit ball" He begs to "drive car" anytime we leave the house. "Duck, Duck, Goose" He says "bye car" anytime a guest leaves our house.

*He labels everything he sees by the person it belongs to. His favorite being 'PopPops car.' He remembers people by their cars! If he sees a tan Tahoe while we're driving, he immediately says PopPops car, etc. He very rarely ever sees PopPops car, so we have no idea how he remembers that.

*He's learned to whisper, and its one of my favorite things he does! He says things like...'shhhhhh dada sleeping,' and then goes off on a whispering gibberish tangent. Something about it makes us laugh everytime! Him putting his finger half way up his nose as he says 'shhhh' makes it that much better :)

*He still loves to sing and dance. His singing consists of high-pitched words that don't make any sense. But it's still cute!

*Mimi got him a new Nike hat, and he won't leave the house without it. He stands at the front door with his hat and jacket when he's ready to go outside. Everyone says that he really looks like Danny with his hat on.

I love that boy!
