15 Months!! Wow!!

Well Summer is finally here!! Woo-hoo! Elijah has played outside almost everyday. He's is a typical little boy and like his daddy, loves being outside and gets cranky if he has to stay inside all day. We bought him a swing this past Saturday. Hung it up on the tree out front and now if he sees it he says "Wee" (for swing). He is talking more and more everyday it seems like. If he wants something I try to get him to tell me or point to what he wants. We are trying to start on our colors, so far not much luck there....haha. He is starting to do alot better around dogs, still doesn't like them if they bark, but is getting better.

We went to the zoo at the end of May. He loved it! We were there from about 10:30 am to about 3 pm and he was so tired, but didnt want to take a nap because he might miss something. So he fell asleep about 10 minutes after we got in the car and slept for a good 3 hours at least. When he woke up, Fan went to get him and yelled for me.....Eli had pooped, BUT it was purple from all the grape juice he drank that day. It was all over his sheet and shorts. He got to see turtles, birds, fish, sea lions, all the big cats and dogs, monkeys. The elephants were gone to the Tulsa zoo, so we will have to go back. Maybe we will be able to watch the sea lion show, too. I want to try to take him to the Oklahoma Aquarium in Tulsa, but we will see.

Elijah now has 4 top teeth and 3 bottom ones. No sign of the 4th on the bottom. He is getting taller and growing out of his clothes...well atleast in the length part, he is still skinny. He loves to feed himself with his own little silverware, preferably a fork. About a month ago, he really liked to eat broccoli, but now he really likes to eat corn on the cob. Almost every evening he wants Fan to take him for a ride on the motorcycle, up and down the drive and around the back yard. I'm sure it wont be long until he has his own bike and gear.

Memorial Weekend, we went camping and he really enjoyed it. Everytime we got on Poppie's (my dad) boat he fell asleep. He got to swim in the laske with dadda. He played in the dirt with the sticks and stuff he could find, met another little boy who was camping next to us and got to play with his toys too. He is a good camper. I'm so happy.

As for Fan and I, well we have been married for 3 years now. Wow how time flies. Still doing great. Both still have our jobs, spending as much time with Eli as we can, but also letting him stay the night with Nana & Poppie (my parents) or Oma & Opa (Fan's parents).

Well thats about it for now. Until next time......
We love you.
Fanuel, Sara & Elijah
