Ely is learning how to clap. he can put his hands together, but its a bit like the sign language for "more" instead of clapping.

He ate 5 quarters of strawberry this morning. first time he's been introduced to strawberry. about the 10th time he's been introduced to beans and cottage cheese, but he won't eat those.

He is learning how to drink out of a straw. thanks to Nana for helping teach this skill.

He can open the bottom kitchen drawer where his bibs and food are kept. he can take the lid of the plastic container and tries to open up the sealed food.

the other day after dinner he was playing at the door and saying Dada DaDa. Gina suggested that he knows it was time for his Daddy to come home. and within 5 minutes, Rob did arrive.
He also may be transitioning from two naps to one. every day is a little different.
