he's becoming such a big boy

Yesterday, we turned Eli's carseat around so he is facing forward like the rest of us.  As you may recall, we waited until Alli was a little over two years old to do this.  We planned to wait that long with Eli but he was becomming unbearable in the car and he's a little bigger than Alli was when we flipped her around so we decided it was time.  He LOVES it!  He kept pointing at the cars saying "dat! dat!"  (his version of look at that).  Today, we drove to Costco so I put on Praise Baby in the car and he was very impressed ;-)  I cannot believe my baby is growing up so fast.

Then, last night, he had chocolate pudding for the first time and insisted on eating it all by himself with a spoon . . .

He was actually fairly neat for a little while

 But that didn't last too long ;-)

 He was so proud of himself!

 And having so much fun!

 When he couldn't get anymore out with the spoon, he figured out a new way to eat it . . .

You have to love his ingenuity ;-)

Our little man is growing up and we love every minute of it, even if it is happening a little too quickly!
