Today he has been going from making one mess to the next. And he complains when I clean up his messes.
He is the funniest happiest baby ever. He loves to explore and see what things do. He loves to dump things out and he tries to do what he sees everyone else doing.
The other day, Jacob was painting our walls. Elijah found a spatula and apparently he thought it looked like a paint brush because he followed his dad and started brushing it on the wall that dad had just painted (on the wet paint).
He also likes to try to color. He sees his siblings do that a lot and thinks it's fun to make marks on paper too (and on the wall). He's only done it on the wall once. So far anyway.
He likes to wave and clap and smile and shake his head no and scream if anyone else is doing that.
He has two teeth and he likes to bite everyone's toes with them. He also tries to bite my nose (that's how he kisses me) with them too, and doesn't like it when I don't let him.
I took the kids swimming today at a friends house in the ward, and he absolutely loved it. He kept splashing and splashing and then he would dip his whole face forwards into the water and taste it.
He weighs 24.8 pounds.
He gets really sad when he has been crawling towards me and I walk away from him. It seriously hurts his feelings and he gets great big crocodile tears...instantly.
He takes two good naps a day (usually).
He slept all the way through the night once this month. It was so nice! He usually wakes up 2 or three times a night though.
Here is a picture of him where I found him behind the couch this morning. He had fallen over and was too squished to sit back up, but didn't mind too much when he saw mana looking at him.
He has taken 5 steps at a time but definitely prefers crawling.
He has two moods: beaming and bawling.
Here is an about to bawl picture.
And an actual bawling one:
I seriously love this big baby of mine! He makes my heart happy!
