A few weeks ago, I was working in the kitchen and he was playing on the floor, and I look down to find him chowing down on a tomato! We had some produce in a bowl where he could reach it (apparently!), and he decided to try out something new! I was surprised, but he ate almost the whole thing and, not surprisingly, made a big mess of tomato juice and seeds everywhere.

Then, only a few days after the tomato incident, he did the same thing with a peach. Josh and I were both working in the kitchen in the process of getting a box of peaches ready to freeze, Eli had just eaten and was playing on the floor; we look down and he found something else he wanted to eat! And he ate the whole, big, ripe peach! A minute later, all that was left was a pit and a very sticky boy. Happy, but sticky.
He loves his books. They might be more of a play thing at this point, but he likes to take them all off the shelf and then sits down and turns the pages.

He is also becoming handy around the house... he is fascinated by the dust mop and likes to chase it around, but the vacuum he's still not sure about. He just sits and stares at it. Doesn't cry or fuss, but doesn't try to play with it either. After I'm done sweeping the floor, I let him play with the dust mop, and he will hang on to that thing until I take it away. He will try to crawl with it, but that doesn't work very well, so he gets mad, but still will not let go of it!
