Joining the Construction Crew

Lately, Eli's favorite toys are the blocks. He has gotten really good at putting the blocks together, which is pretty good for a ten month old. He is also using the shape sorter with his ever developing fine motor skills.

He is learning many other new skills, mostly by watching Walker and then imitating what he is doing. He loads the dump truck, pushes the garbage truck and makes car noise all just like his brother. He also is getting pretty good in the kitchen. He finds a bowl or two or ten and gets a spoon and stirs up whatever he is cooking (much banging accompanies this task).

He is still working on walking. He will take several steps at a time and is becoming more confident about letting go and traveling to a new destination. He still prefers to crawl, but squeals with delight when he makes forward progress by walking.

He has been really sick with some ear infections and his asthma flaring up, so he is staying away from public places and other children and trying to get well. As long as he stays well, he will get a set of tubes on March 11th and hopefully that will alleviate much of his problems. Please keep this in your prayers. The poor little guy really wants to be well.
