a day in the life of eli

eli likes to get up in the morning and hang out with daddy. sometimes they play, and sometimes they watch ufc videos on the computer.

eli and i run errands sometimes. lately, he's been holding onto the tag on his toy, he even falls asleep holding it.

he likes to go swimming. thanks grandpa for my fun pool floaty!

and when eli's naughty we put him in the laundry room

he has been teething pretty bad lately

bath time at our house is a big deal. not only because by the end of the day, eli smells like barf and sometimes poop, but because he LOVES his bath! he splashes and laughs and screams that high pitched happy scream. daddy hates that he misses bath time every night, so i take pictures for him.

he kept playing with the faucet. i need to get this kid some bath toys.

he loves being wrapped up in the towel after his bath. this one was nice and warm!

thank you Baby einstein

if anyone else has a rambunctious, hyperactive (clingy, A.D.D) child, I suggest baby einstein, or something similar. i'm not one for sticking my child in front of the tv, but when there's anything i need to get done, it comes in handy. i figure this is better for him to watch then episodes of the office. so there you go, i get dishes done, and he learns the moves for 'if you're happy and you know it'.

National Aeronautics and Space Administration

we had a great time while the folks were here! we made lots of yummy food and played some fun games. we also made it to NASA, unfortunately without Mike, but it was still a good time.

we found these helmets that the astronauts wore in space.

my mom couldn't stop laughing......don't know why

my new present

my little sister claire loves me this many dollar$ worth! i saw this gem at anthropologie and instantly fell in love. when i looked at the price tag, it didn't love me back :( so claire, being the giver that she is, surprised me and bought it! no occasion, just because she's such a sweet person who would do anything for the ones she loves. sappy but true.

my friend quinn

quinn is my friend that i love to play with, and go to the mall with, and grocery shop with, and pretty much do whatever our mommies drag us around to do. i can give credit to quinn when i'm on my best behavior. he's very nice to his mommy, and since he doesn't cry, when we're together i would feel embarrassed if i did.

we like to hold hands sometimes. don't judge.

we like to sit like big boys

we LOVE our daddies

my friend quinn loves to grab at faces. my mommy likes to play with him.

we like our car rides together, sometimes we talk and sing with each other.

i love you quinn, even when you try to kiss me and i cry!

yes this is what Eli sleeps in and yes it is the size of his body. he likes to be snug.

in his stroller at the mall. if it's the only way he'll sleep, i'll take it.
