Elijah is such a BIG boy! He is so cute and smart too.
He is bigger than a lot of other boy babies his age. He is so cute because his hair spikes all by itself...he has one dimple on his left cheek...and he winkles his nose when he smiles!
He is smart! He really understands most things that I say. He likes to pretend to use the potty. He tells me when he is wet or dirty....he pulls at his diaper and pulls me to his room to get changed. I can ask him if he is wet or dirty and he will shake his head yes or no.
Elijah is very interested in cars. He doesn't like the little ones that are made for babies his age, he wants the model lamborgini cars made for ten year olds. He loves to sit in the camry and pretend to drive...he will pitch a big fit when he is taken out though so I don't let him do it too often.
The latest adventure with Elijah has earned him the nicknames "Slick" and "Crisco Kid".
One evening I was cooking supper. I allow my children to play in the cabinets while I cook. I actually give them a pot with a spoon and some cheerios. They "cook" the cheerios while I cook supper. This allows them to be busy in the same room that I am in and lets them have a snack to tide them over while supper is cooking. Well, this one night, Elijah decides to go looking in the pantry. I let him because there isn't anything in there that can hurt him. Well, I turn to my cooking and then I hear those words....."Uh-oh", I turn to see that my son has taken a big bottle of vegetable oil, opened it, and poured it on the floor. So - I grab him up and get him in the bath tub....I bathe him with some dawn, I start thinking about the mess in the kitchen (it was running under my fridge) and then I think that Natalie is still loose in the house....So I get Elijah out and let him go...(yes he in naked) I go in the kitchen to clean up the mess and Elijah is right behind me.....running....then sliding....then falling back into the oil. It was hilarious.
We will never forget that night.
