Jumping Away

Eli is really getting active, and he's not even crawling yet! He has been really enjoying his jumper. At first, he barely jumped in it, but now he acts like he's going to take off (as you see in the second video). He likes to jump, like when you hold him or when he's in his exersaucer, which isn't really made for that much jumping. In fact, I have to strap him in tight when I put him in most things because he tries to escape! We've had to say bye bye to the swing and the Bumbo for that reason. He also scoots and rolls on the floor and is into everything...just very curious. He's also saying dada now in addition to baba and mama. I can't wait when he looks at me and calls me Mama! In the first video you can hear him say dadada. Sorry, but I had to include the last video...it's just too funny!

Oh, and Eli will be 7 months old tomorrow! By my measurements, he's about 22 lbs. and 29 inches long! Wow!

Do you think Eli wonders if his mom has a cameral permanently attached to her face? I'm kidding. Sure is fun to see how much he's grown!

I posted a comment yesterday, but it didn't seem to take! So here goes another try (I also had trouble posting pictures on my blog--so I don't know what's up). We really enjoyed the videos--what a funny little guy Eli is. Loved the jumps and spins, and especially the vocalizations. Can't wait to see him in a couple of weeks.

So, do I have to be the first one to ask the question -- What the heck is up with Boone and his 'air humping?'

Oh . . . and Eli is TOO cute! That boy's gonna be a handful when he gets to moving around more easily!
