And So It Begins . . .

So this week Eli learned to move forward and the freedom that comes with it.

 

The very first time he ventured into the kitchen he managed to get the cupboard open for the pots and pans and pull them out hurting himself. I can't believe how quickly he is growing up.

 

You can see how proud of himself he is.

 

So tonight he figured out how to open the cupboard of the microwave cart and find all kids of entertainment.

 

With three sisters sitting around him laughing at him and mom in the bathroom, he managed to take the lid off the cream of wheat and spill it all over the floor. Good thing my vacuum was out and handy. He was quite enthralled with the process of getting vacuumed off also. Some of his other favorite spots are the video shelf and the magazine rack (until it mysteriously disappeared). Oh the joy! It is so much fun to watch him explore and discover but it also comes with its downside.
