I had just finished making Elijah breakfast Thursday morning, and was putting it on the table when he walked into the kitchen from playing in the living room. He no longer had his sippy cup of milk that I had just given him, so I said, "Elijah, where's your milk? We need your milk before we have breakfast." He looked at me and then turned around and walked back into the living room, so I figured he was going back to play some more (like when I say, "It's time to change your diapy" and he runs the other direction.).
Well, about 10 seconds later he comes walking back into the kitchen - holding his sippy cup of milk! He walked up to the table, put his cup down and lifted his arms to be put up in his highchair. I was floored! He took my directions! Wow! I feel like the whole dynamic of our interactions is changing every day and it's really cool to see him grow up and understand more and more things. And to see that sometimes he might listen to me. Sometimes. :)

Way to go Elijah! It's so much fun to watch them start to be able to display their understanding of what we're saying to them and actually carry some of them out "if they choose to." Wait until baby #2 comes around and tries to copy baby #1. It's amazing how much more quickly they do things like say prayers, put their clothes in the hamper, etc because their watching and not just hearing. Parenthood is such a fun adventure, even though it can be frustrating at times.
