Mr. E Lately

Elijah is 13 months now and I"m giving myself a break from monthly pictures...getting way too tough.  I just wanted to note down a few new things he's doing lately so I don't forget:
- Taking steps - max 4 in a row and always on his terms (when he stands himself up and is in the mood).  It won't be long now!
- Consistently saying mamamama to me
- Pointing
- Signing "more" consistently
- Playing more purposefully with cars and making car noises, puzzles, putting shapes through holes etc 
- Two molars breaking through on the bottom
- He is also down to one long afternoon naps 1-4pm and it is going great!
- Overall I feel like we're arriving at the top of a long climb up and enjoying some of the rewards!  I just   love this boy!

Bath Time

When we head back to Brazil, we sure will miss bath time here in the US.  (It's very rare to find a house with a tub in Brazil...so it's showers for kids)
 It's been one of the fun highlights of our evenings to see Elijah splashing around having a great time!
Plus then I got to get lots of great embarrassing bath pictures for blackmail in the future :)
