My baby is so great. He is learning so many things. Today, he took lots of independent steps. Two days ago, he pointed to the light when we asked him where it was. Yesterday he pointed to himself when we asked him where Eli was. He is also really affectionate — in a little boy baby sort of way. The other day when he saw me lie down on the couch he immediately crawled over and gave me a huge kiss (it was really more of a lick). But it was so darling for him to decide to do it. He will also give me a kiss, if I ask him for one. Today, I was giving him a hug and patting him on the back a little. He started patting me on the back. I said somthing like, “Oh, Eli, that is so sweet. You’re patting Mama on the back!” He then looked at me smiling, (and thinking, I could tell) and then started “patting” me all over the face, hard, with both hands. He was smiling a huge smile the whole time. I guess that he figured that if I liked him patting my back, that I would love for him to pat my face. Baby boy logic. Precious.
