Tonight I put Eli to bed. Jakob was struggling to fall asleep and kept waking up so I had to hold him. Therefore I could not read a story to a very tired Eli. After drinking his milk he made a moaning sound and I asked what was wrong. He said, "Soentjie" wanting a good night kiss. I said, "I love you, Baby" and he said, "I love you, Mommy" for the first time.

Elijah speaks so well now. He can say the whole alphabet, count to 20, knows the day of the week and the months of the year. He loves music and knows many songs. He is also an expert on the iPad.
He says cute things all the time like calling a butterfly a "blutterfly" or flying in an ailoplane.
He loves his baby brother Jakob and often holds his hand, or lies right on top of him to give him a hug. One of his favourite things to do is to "taste" Jakob's dummy. Eli still loves his dummy.
