Teddy Bear

So over the last few days, Eli has been super cute with his Teddy Bear (Thanks, Great-Grandma!). He's been going to sleep with it every night, hugging it, and then waking up with him in the morning. Yesterday, he discovered the joy of pushing Teddy around in his little Eli stroller. Well today was the CUTEST ever. He positioned him super carefully in the stroller and pushed him around. At one point, he fell out, and Eli said "Oh no!" and picked him up and gave him the sweetest little hug. Then he put him back in the stroller and gave him another hug. For breakfast, he took him out of the stroller and sat him down at his little Eli table with him. Awww. Tonight, for dinner, he did the same thing.... took Teddy over and put him in the chair and then pushed him in!!! Eli was having raisins, so I poured a bowl for Teddy, too.... And when I handed them out, Eli went over and took Teddy's paw and put it into the raisin bowl. SOOOO cute. :)

And in other super cute news, three days ago he started calling me Mommy!!! He's been calling me Mama this whole time and still does half the time, but now he says Mommy! It's so cute to hear :)

AND tonight, I sneezed and he came over to me and said "Ok?" and put his hand, super gently, on my cheek. :) SOOO sweet.

(Most of my days are filled with running and jumping and head butting and kicking, so I have to cherish these few gentle, sweet moments).
