I'm Big!

3 months ago today, Eli was coming into our world. Now he's the center of it. He grows and learns everyday and I love seeing his progression. Here are some of his new tricks.

standing is his favorite

he's just learned how to grab things and hold on to them......

....and then chew on them

he's trying so hard to roll over

they communicate telepathically

Bedtime

A few nights ago I asked Mike to get Eli to sleep while I took a shower. When I came out, this is what I found. Mike's idea of putting Eli to bed.

Real men sleep in nightgowns.

July 4th

We had a fun day on the 4th. The boys only worked until 3, so we ate and headed off to the park where there was a carnival and fireworks show. They had live music and of course funnel cake. The show was cool, Eli didn't think so at first, but he ended up falling asleep. It was a good time with good friends.

Cute boy showing his patriotic spirit.

Hope you all had a happy 4th of July!

shop til you drop

Eli has been to almost every mall around Houston, and with all the commotion and activity of the mall and being pushed around in his stroller, he never seems to fall asleep.........except when he's in the Snugli.

Oh Onion

Claire has a stuffed bear (that she made at the build A Bear workshop in downtown Disney) named Onion.....yes. You can ask her yourself why she named him that. Well, Eli is iN lOvE with Onion. He is almost as enamored with Onion as he is with Claire. Almost. Claire is a sport and lets Eli play with/drool on him whenever he wishes. Thanks auntie Claire!
