I love it when we're Cruisin together!

I guess you could say this was our first official family vacation with Eli. We had such a great time. It was a little interesting arranging nap time on a cruise ship. After all there is only so much one can occupy their time with in a 300 sq ft  (dark/quiet) room while their toddler is sleeping. But we managed, and fun was had by all :) There are so many pictures that I am going to just get right to those :) Enjoy!

Bon Voyage!

The really cool water park that we couldn't wait to take Eli to!

Eli in the water park before the mean ship people came and kicked us out! (Don't worry, momma took care of that, He played in that park before we got off that boat!!!)   

My Dad and Eli plugging there nose at the mean water park people in a notion that they stunk because they wouldn't let him play there! And every time we walked by it they plugged there nose.

Now that is service, fruit served in a silver dish! Eli was in heaven!

These ships are so huge and even more when there are two parked side by side!

~THE END~

Sixteen Months!

My little ham! He can love and hate the camera all the same. But when moments like these arise I take advantage of them. How could you not. I know I'm his Momma, but he is just so darn cute!!!

Teeth: At 16 months you had eight teeth. those two other teeth finally came through on the bottom.

Health: You have been happy and healthy!

I LOVE those little curls, your Daddy on the other hand...not so much!

Vocabulary: Your vocabulary has taken off, I can't keep up with all the new things you are saying. You are finally saying Momma or Mommy quite a bit. You say it so sweet and it just makes my heart feel good. I especially love when you wake up and say my name! We have not the first cat here at our house and neither does any family but you know what a cat is and you recently saw one in a book and couldn't quit looking at it saying diddy for kitty! So cute. You also say doggies now, instead of doggy. you try to say Gunner but i think its a bit hard. You say ice and mine, but you say both of those words like a little country boy. you also say me.

New Things: You have become very aware of when you are going to the bathroom, but the funniest thing is when you pass gas you grab your bottom and say huh! pee pee! (We're working on this, it's confusing, I know) You are starting to learn what noise certain animals make. And you have a fascination with birds for some reason.

This picture looks like he is salsa dancing, HAHA!!

Food/Drink: For the most part you are a good eater. I think its safe to say your favorite food ever is banana, nannies as you like to call them. If I can't get you to eat anything else you will eat a banana. I wish you had the same taste for veggies as you do for bananas. A close second to bananas is chicken, you LOVE chicken. And grapes, you will eat your weight in grapes.

Music: You occasionally add a few new dance moves to your routine. Your most recent is you do a sorta disco move with your hands. It is so funny and I have no idea where you learned it, but it is too cute!

Toys: You are loving your toy mailbox with little plastic pieces of mail and this keeps you busy forever. You love to put the mail in and out of the mailbox.

Sleep: Your sleeping is great! And I'm not complaining!

Favorites: A recent favorite is a little bear that I got when I had you. You LOVE this little bear and you carry it around and call it your baby. You love on it and hold it and bounce it. It is so sweet.

 Clothes/Shoes: Some 12-18mo, mostly 18mo. Your jammies are mostly 24 months and a size 5 shoe. You wear a size 4 diaper.

Height/Weight: I think you are somewhere around 27lbs and 32 in tall (?? i wish i knew for sure)

Milestones: You have mastered the art of blowing kisses and peek a boo. Also if you are asked how old you are you will hold up one finger.

I just love you more than anything ever!! You are my little sunshine!
