One of the gifts that Aunt Lisa gave Eli was a toy that Lisa and I had when we were little girls. We used to play with this at our Grandma & Grandpa's house. When Eli opened the toy, it brought back so many memories of playing at Grandma and Grandpa's house. It was a very thoughtful gift and Eli enjoys playing with it as well. Thank you, Aunt Lisa!

Birthday Presents from Alaska

Eli received birthday presents from Aunt Lisa, Uncle John, and " the J cousins" today. Although his official birthday is not until Saturday, he opened the presents today. He loved the presents, but Aunt Lisa also sent Eli some Valentine cookies that were a HUGE hit! Eli loved them - after about 4 or 5 cookies (they are small), I had to distract him and then hide the cookies! : )





Eli shakes everything....incliding his new clothes!

Eating with a Spoon

Eli loves to eat, but he hasn't learned how to use a spoon yet. Tonight I gave him a spoon while he was eating his yogurt (rather than feeding it to him) and he did really well....until I walked away. I looked back at him and he was pouring his yogurt in his lap! I don't think he realized what happened until he saw the yogurt on his jeans. It was so funny, but a HUGE mess to clean up! : )

Computers

Eli LOVES Mommy's computer! Every time I open the computer, Eli crawls to me as fast as he can and tries to hit the keyboard. So....we gave him a keyboard to play with. He loves it, but he still tries to get to my computer every time I open it!

Big Hug

On Friday morning when Eli was playing, I found him hugging and "talking" to his bear. It was the sweetest thing! Baby boys are so sweet!

Happy Birthday Hunter!

Thursday was Hunter's birthday. Eli was a BIG help when it came to wrapping and unwrapping the presents. We celebrated by going to eat at Campisi's - our favorite pizza place!
