Look at you girl, you get your own blog!

Eli took his very first steps at the beginning of July, and is now an official walker. He only crawled for about 3 months and now will only crawl if he falls down to get over to something to pull himself up to walk. Its so cute to see this little baby walking! He really is little too. The doctors said he is only in the 10th percentile! From birth to about 7 months he was always big, now he has just slowed down the weight gain. My friend Becky and I agree that those charts are for freakishly large formula fed babes. And that our breastfed, all natural baby food (no french fry) babies are just fine at their weight!! Speaking of Becky, if your reading this, I am going to miss you and your family so much. You guys are the only reason I would want to stay in Clarksville! I am so glad we got to be pregnant, have our boys just 2 days apart, and soon celebrate their 1st birthdays together! It is so nice to have someone with the same ideals for our children. Ahhh, enough sappy stuff! How about some pictures of the little monster!















































































He LOVES his teddy and gives him hugs and kisses every morning.

Hey let's make our own percentiles. Bekah was under the 3rd last time we went to the dr. which put her off the charts. Who are these babies that make ours so small??

I love those pictures!
If you look over at Kelly mom, they have charts for BF babies. Turns out BF babies start bigger then FF babies, but by a year they are smaller. Which fits your guy to a tee.
