Almost Crawling...

As you can see in these pictures, Eli is so close to crawling! And actually tonight he took his first baby crawls while reaching toward a ball. In the last week or so, Eli has really become more daring and adventurous in the way he physically moves around. He wants to pull himself up in to a standing position, he rocks back and forth while crouched down or on his knees, and he thinks hard about how to get from one place to another. Every day, Eli seems to be physically stronger and able to pull or hold more weight than before.




Another one of Eli's newest tricks is sticking out his tongue and making the buzzing sound. The biggest smile lights up his face when someone laughs at him sticking out his tongue. Oh the tricks he learns!

We'll be sure to keep you posted when he actually starts crawling on a regular basis!
