Just a Lil' Pumpkin!

Eli acquired the pet name "Pumpkin" when he was wearing an orange onesie and sitting on a big pumpkin in October 2004. We immediately saw the similarities in roundness, plumpness, and orangeness and thus our lil' Pumpkin gained a new, and appropriately used, name. His most often heard words are: "da-do" (dog or any other small animal), "da-ee" (daddy), "ma-ee" (momy), "doo" (juice), "dough!" (go!), and "baa" (bath). He is usually found... getting into something he shouldn't (nails, bullets, tools, Cadence's precious toys), under Cadence, or accidently locked in the bathroom. Don't be fooled by his cuteness. He can scream louder than anyone or anything I have ever encountered in my life.
