Aunt Debbie and Eli

Aunt Debbie came over to visit with Eli. She needed her "Eli fix" as she calls it. The two played while Daddy worked in the yard and Mommy graded papers. (Thanks Debbie!) He modeled his hat for her
Mommy and Debbie worked on getting Eli to eat solids with a spoon! He has been eating cereal (thick) in a cereal bottle but never from a spoon. It seems he is not fond of the work involved in pushing your food back with your tongue! At first he pierced his lips shut!! He wanted NOTHING to do with whatever we were wanting him to do!
After many attempts and pretty much prying his mouth open, he got a taste of the banana baby food and "sort of" opened up. In the end, he received his milk bottle!
He showed her his favorite game--
"you put whatever you want on my table and I will push it off"
