Update :)

First of all, I have NOT had Noah yet. I am 39 weeks 2 days pregnant. My 'official' due date is December 10th. We're just waiting right now!

Eli:
Has started jumping-like both feet leave the ground jumping! It is the funniest, cutest thing ever! He gets so proud of himself! He has also started trying to put a ball in his toy lacrosse stick and throw it up in the air and catch it like his Daddy does! Right now as I am typing he is eating an apple, like the whole thing. He doesn't want it cut up anymore, he wants the skin and all! When did he start to be such a big boy? He doesn't even want to be rocked for a few minutes before bed! He just wants his bear, and 2 blankets and he lays down by himself. John has, thankfully, taken over putting him in bed. I think that will prove VERY helpful once Noah gets here. He has said "Mamaw" when trying to Grandma (John's Mom) and has said "Mammy" when trying to say Grammie (my Mom)! I'm not very consistent in trying to get him to say names. But it's hard when they don't live close, ya know? Eli finally enjoys playing with cars too! For a while he just wanted to play with his instruments or throw/kick balls around the house/outside! He is 17 months old. And strong-willed, defiant and tests boundaries/rules EVERY day, all day. We are set on being consistent with him now-even if it means spanking him 10 times a day for doing the same thing over and over again. He still is a sweet heart though. He loves to give hugs and kisses and has started saying "HI!" to random people as we walk around a store or mall. It's awesome!

Hmm. I think that's all the updates I have. I mainly am doing this now so I don't forget when Eli started doing all of these things (not the disobeying part!)!! OH and he LOVES hats! Any and all hats, he loves them :) I'll post something after I have Noah with pictures and all that fun stuff :)
