Eli has developed a cute "defensive" trick recently. When Missy or I go to take something away from Eli that he shouldn't have (recent examples include a half-full glass of Diet Coke and a TV remote control), Eli will hold the object up to his cheek, lean his head against it, and suck his thumb with his other hand. The overall effect says "how could you take this from me, I love it, and I look so cute holding it"!
Just picture Linus from Peanuts holding his blanket until I can get a picture up of Eli doing this!

It's pretty funny when Eli does this, because he does really look cute doing it, even if it's a half-full can of Diet Coke instead of a cute blanket or stuffed animal that he's snuggling!
