Eli’s new favorite word is “no”, as you can see in this amusing clip:

We are sitting at the dinner table eating peaches (Eli’s new favorite food, by FAR — he calls it “apple,” which is his word for all fruit. He goes, “apple! apple! apple! apple!” as soon as he sees it), and Eli finished his slice. He reached out to Justin, I SWEAR, and said, “uh-wan nuh…

We just got back from our fabulous week in North Lake Tahoe, where we rented a super-plush vacation house with Marc, Elaine, Atticus, and Solomon. All of us had a fantastic time, and Eli was all grown up, running around on the beach with his bucket (just like daddy!): He played just about equally with…

Yes, Eli’s first haircut was an epic, Titanic-like disaster. But after he was mistaken for a girl three times in the same day, his daddy insisted that we try again to do something about this spectacular mop (and yeah, he’s wearing daddy’s shoes. Did I mention how freaking cute he is right now?): So I…

We’re happy to report that Eli is a full-time walker now! He went from 10 steps at a time to all-the-time in about a week flat, and now he’s obsessed. Daycare reports that he spent two solid hours walking up and down the pathway in front of the house, stopping to sit down on the…

Eli is such a big boy that he doesn’t want to ride in the cart, he wants to push the cart: He went through about half of our football-field-sized Whole Foods before deciding riding was ok, after all. In other news, I am sorry to report that Eli has learned a new trick. He can…

The results are in. Eli is a deeply dangerous boy. He’s so far not bothering to learn how to walk, but he’s working hard at mastering climbing. You can see here, he’s starting to consider the technique: And just seconds later, it’s all too clear what we’re in for: His walking wagon, so useless for…

I liked his little urchin look, but pretty soon, everyone started telling us that Eli needed a haircut. And I suppose, once it started getting in his eyes, causing him to rub them nonstop, it was time: Plus, he was starting to use his mop for pea storage: So, off we went: And wow, what…
