This is a long one with lots of pictures! Are you ready?
Time is flying by! My little 6 pound baby is almost a 30 pound one-year-old. Crazy! Here are some random moments throughout the last month (I'll try to be as chronological as I can).
A while back I froze some applesauce in the middle of some baby washcloths for teething times. I'm not entirely sure he was teething (so far, he is up to 8 teeth!), but he did like to suck, chew, and crawl around with it in his mouth.
He likes to 'help' with things on the counter; making bread, doing dishes.... pretty much anything where he can grab things and SEE what's going on.

We went up to Kansas City for a wedding 2 weeks ago.... he did better in the car this time, compared to previously, but he was bored there at the end and decided his toes made a good snack! He was just chillin' in his seat, sucking on his toes!
At the wedding reception (bad indoor low lighting!).

Being silly playing with spoons on the table.
Saturday morning after the wedding we met up with the grandparents at City Market and walked around for a few hours. So much fun! The vendors had almost every kind of vegetable you could think of, and there were several with all kinds of spices too. We found a big pumpkin display and put Eli next to these ginormous pumpkins!
Eli started getting a little bored in the stroller, so he rode around on Dad's shoulders for a while...

| Crazy boys! |

| Starting to get tired.... |

| He may or may not have drooled on Dad's head... |

| Took a little nap, and right back in the action! |

He is starting to imitate sounds more and more; lately he has been waving and saying "Buh". As we were leaving Kansas City, we tried to get him to do it to Aunt Sara, Gigi and Grandpa Gerry, but no luck. Then as we turned the corner and head down the street, he starts waving!
