Year 2

Two and a few weeks. We have become bad blogger. The photo was taken a week late. I am posting it more than two weeks late. We have all been sick. Several times. Lots of things have gotten in the way. Emily says she going to get on soon and write something. We will see. I have been planning a Year two recap. We will see when I get that done.

Eli at two. Does this even need a caption?

Also, yes I know the bottom of his shoe is gross. Its a Kodner tradition that the year two photo has this in it.

Month 23

Twenty-Three. If tradition holds this is the last month photo that I will ever post. After this, photos are to be taken in half year intervals until twelve and one year intervals until 21.

Emily reminded me that when this tradition started 34 years ago that film, time, and the cost of producing a photo every month made it a much different proposition to produce. I don't know, maybe we will shoot one of these every month until he goes to college. Maybe he will find it interesting himself and want to keep doing it himself long after he has left the nest. On the 13th of next month I will be 368 months old. What would that be like to see if I had month photos going back that far? Just after Eli's 83 birthday he could shoot his 1000 month photo!

I am going to have to think about this some more.

Month 22

Your Mama just wrote a very nice long post. She yelled at me that I was going to bump her post with this one. So go read and love her post.

Month 17

Is it to early to want to sell this one to the circus?

So is this how its going to work for the next 18 years? You push us to the brink of crazy, we keep loving you more that you could ever know. (At least until you have a child of your own.)

This tantrum toddler. My mighty monkey. This crazy child of mine is 17 months old.

Month 15

Month 14

He is getting cuter and cuter don't you think?

Month 13

It feels like just yesterday that Eli turned one. Time is going by super very fast. I can't get him to hold still for his formal month photo, so we are back to sitting. Some day he may hate me for these photos. Sometime after that he will love them.

Right now he is just full of love. Loves life. Loves his Mama VERRRRRY much. Can't stand to be away from Dada. His puppies have even started to like/love him too.

His likes include Skype, music, dogs, carbohydrates, mamas milk, dog bowls and anything he can't have.

His dislikes include Mama going to work, him not getting everything he wants, and being over kissed.
