Chase said his first word!

We have been encouraging him for a long time to say "hello", but he loves Eli so much that today I thought I'd just start trying to get him to say Eli. After lunch I just kept playing with him and really pronouncing E-L-I, and he said it!!! It actually sounded like "Eeeee Eye", but he definitely was saying it!!! He got so pleased with himself and all the cheering, that he started clapping for himself, which is totally cute! My baby is growing up!!!
