17 Months

Eli has been especially whiny and clingy over the past month.  Apparently this is a special service saved especially for me.  When I drop him off in the nursery or leave him with someone who is not me, he does the typical two second cry as I leave, and I'm told, he doesn't give so much as a whimper until his Spidey senses feel my presence return and he goes berserk again.  I don't know how true this is.  The one thing I do know is a typical day is filled with endless whining and hanging on my bloomers, making me feel pretty nutty.

He of course is still my boy, and I love him.  He is super playful and fun, and full of personality.  He loves to run fast, turn everything within reach into a sword or dagger, break and throw things, and torment his sister.  He has a ton of new words, and is so cute pointing and saying new things.
