Lately it seems like Eli hasn't been talking much. He went through this period when he was talking all the time then it stopped as soon as it started. I asked Melissa if he talks while he is at her house during the day and she said he babbles all day. I couldn't believe it, but she says that the two other children talk and he tries to compete with them to get a word in (mind you, he's not speaking english, just some language that makes total sense to him and sounds a lot like dadajajajadada).
Tonight Payton was getting him in his pajamas and ready for bed and Eli just started talking talking talking. I caught the clip below after they finished and came to get his bedtime bottle. I just love the expressions that he makes as he is talking. And notice, you can't see anything at the start of the clip, I have to keep the phone hidden because as soon as he sees it, he won't rest until he's grabbed it and shoved it in his mouth.
On a side note, we have totally gotten in a rhythm with Eli's sleeping habits. For the past month or more, he has been sleeping from 7:30 - 7:00. He might grunt around a little in the middle of the night but would always put himself back to sleep. He has also been sleeping on his stomache, which he seemed to really like. And like the last 6 months, as soon as we get in a habit, he changes something up. He is now rolling over onto his side, then flipping onto his back, and instantly waking up crying. He did this at least 5 times last night starting at 1:45am and he's already done it once tonight at it's barely 11. I threw a "lovie" in with him tonight and a pacifier, which he can easily grab and put in his mouth, so hopefully he'll do his thing and fall back asleep if he wakes up...here's hoping!
