Eli is really interesting to watch. Yesterday and today he was around another crying baby and it really upset him. He's tuned into the context and wants to make sure everyone is okay. He seeks out help when it seems like another kid is distressed.
He's a little more shy in new places than he used to be. One of his most frequent exclamations is "people!" which he says like "pee-pool." Often when he is in a new place full of people, or new people (say an uncle and cousins) visit he will run to us and announce that there are people.
Eli has a loud guffaw. I've often said it seems like his volume is set to 10. I hope that when he grows up this will serve a purpose. Perhaps he will be an auctioneer, a famous baritone, or a preacher. Or maybe someday he will see a car about to hit someone hundreds of feet away and his loud scream will save their life. I say this because right now his loud voice can be a little distressing. We're probably a few years from being anywhere that requires quiet.
Eli also loves reading and he plays with many of the same toys Sam does. Sam kindly shared a batman truck with him recently (in part to draw him away from his new toys) and Eli spent much of the day playing with them.
Eli seems quite strong (as does Eva) and he has no problem with stairs or high slides.
These are fun days in the kids' lives. We're looking forward to more excitement as we enjoy these winter months.
