Enjoying the park

I must've been out of my mind...

I was reading up on Eli's age development and what 7-9 month olds most likely will be accomplishing. One of the milestones during this time is showing an interest in feeding themselves or eating finger foods. Hmmm...I thought to myself, Eli hasn't really shown interest in feeding himself, or maybe I haven't given him the opportunity to try. You may ask yourself, Why have I not given my child the opportunity to learn and grown through feeding himself...

Hear is the answer to that question:





I don't think he is ready yet?!

Merry Christmas

Me and My Boy

Life is Good

2 little Monkeys jumping in the Crib

Eli had a play date with Mady, a big girl, and he loved her. They had tons of fun playing with toys, crawling all around, wrestling with each other,

telling secrects

They are like two very active peas in a pod and will be best of friends, just like Mady's dad and Eli's mom.

Jennie and Travis' Wedding

The day after Halloween, November 1, 2008, Jeff's little sister Jennie got married on the beach. It was a small, intimate wedding with family and close friends. We had a great time and Eli did wonderfully during the ceremony; he looked so handsome in his first little button down shirt and suit jacket.

Sarah and Eli the Giraffe

I know it's about a week late...Eli's first Halloween was not very exciting, but we got some cute pics. First of all, we were out all day shopping and getting ready for Jeff's sister's wedding, which was the next day. So Eli did not get very good naps, and by the time we got him ready in his costume that evening he was pooped; but not too tired to take a picture with Sarah Palin:)

We walked over to one of the neighbors house, Eli got his first candy and thought the wrapper tasted delicious, and then fell asleep.
