Pasta Anyone?

We have discovered that Eli is a huge fan of Italian! What a mess!!!



Eli's cabinet!

This weekend we finally started to "baby-proof" the kitchen. Eli is more curious each day and it seems that he is constantly testing his boundaries! Eli does have "his" cabinet and loves to play with all the tupperware! I'm sure that most kids find this entertaining, but I must admit that I get a little tickled as well. He will crawl all the way into the cabinet and all you can see are his little legs hanging out as he tries to get the bowls and lids at the very back! I have a sinking feeling that this is just a taste of what is to come!

Eli is walking!

Here is why I haven't had as much time for blogging! Eli is getting better at walking each day!

You Can't Catch Me!!!

Due to unpacking, bible study lesson catch-up, and getting ready for work, I don't have time for a proper post about this past weekend at The Wilderness. But I will tease you with this video of the boys (Eli and Cole) playing in the hotel room! Enjoy!

Why I LOVE Being a Mom Today!

Here are some reasons I loved being a mom today:
1. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.
2. Sunny day spent doing bible study on back porch while watching Eli in the walker chase the dogs around (also on the back porch).
3. Naptime was easy today!
4. The JOY found in even the simplest or messiest of situations. Example: Eli carting a toothbrush around all day chewing on the wrong end (dentist's kid) and having to give a mid-day bath due to teething biscuit mess!

Son, we're going to have to work on your technique!
The "crab crawl" makes carting this toothbrush around tricky.
If you look closely, you can see Eli's two lower teeth. He's also got one on top, and one about to break through.

THE CULPRIT! Who thought these were a good idea? Had to be a man!
Doesn't he look so proud of himself? And that is the biscuit he's sticking out of his mouth, not his tongue!
YUM!
Again.... too cute to be upset at all!
The hands... ugh... the hands!

Zoo Trip!

So when the weatherman said "60 degree weather", guess where we went? The ZOO! Saturday we had a fabulous outing with me, Eli, Jay, Kellye, Keith, and Cole! Eli watched the animals and would crane his neck around to see what they were doing. Definitely different from our last trip! We had a great time and cannot wait for next zoo walk!

Cole and Eli in their "rides"!
Watch out! Wild Animal!
The elephant exhibit was a big hit!
Cole loved it too!





Go Bricklayers!

Put me in coach, I'm ready to play!
