That was the start of our photo shoot tonight (I needed a picture for this post, of course)...when he was still happy to be in front of the camera. Don't get antsy. You'll see how we ended it.
This cute little ham knows how to work his mama. I pass him to Dave in the mornings and as they are leaving, I usually ask Eli for a kiss on their way out the door. I typically get one kiss and then a gentle, yet firm push away (he has places to go and people to see, you know.).
Yesterday morning, I got a bunch of kisses. Then, as they were leaving, I said, "I love you, Eli." He said it back! Well, he said, "I wub ooo," but you get the point. I know he was just repeating it, but it still melted me!
His next new communication didn't quite melt me, but I was excited about it! It is something that only a mother could love. Eli was running in the hallway and stopped to look at me. He had a look on his face that said it all - I knew what was happening. But, he said it anyway: "Poop!" And he meant it! He told me he did it! I have never been so excited to check a diaper for poop.
So, now to the end of that photo shoot. Our little model was no longer happy in front of the camera. He wanted the camera. Here is how we ended the shoot:
Luckily, we avoided a temper tantrum this time. We are having more and more of those lately when we don't get our way!
