It’s hard to believe that Eli is already 1.  He’s such a fun kid.  He loves to get silly and loves to snuggle.  He is so easy going and doesn’t complain too long about anything.  He’s also pretty close to walking and has a handful of words:  shoe, flower, airplane, bath.  A few others too.

We had a fun party for him in our backyard last month.  The weather was perfect!

Singing the standards

Eli seemed to enjoy himself throughout

I think Jordan had fun too!

Cake time

We love Eli more and more every day.  What a fun kid!

Every time I start putting together pictures of the kids, I realize how quickly they grow and change each month.  These photos and videos go back to September, around my birthday and around the Jewish holidays, leading up to Eli’s first birthday in mid October (those will be in the next post).  Eli especially seems so much older than he does here now, but I don’t want to miss posting some great ones here.

School is back in session:

Even Eli started classes this year:  Mommy and me, and Music class

When Jordan is not assaulting Eli, they have a blast playing together now

Holiday time

Fun with cousins!

My birthday celebration seeing Trey Anastasio with the LA Phil Harmonic at Hollywood Bowl and Teppen Yaki at Yamato

And Yogurtland to finish it off

Did I mention what a good eater Eli is?

Pumpkin patch time

And some other shots worth sharing

Yes, still obsessed with Toy Story
