Sleepy!

Eli fell asleep on the closet floor today while I was getting dressed and talking on the phone. Many times when I talk on the phone, he just falls asleep. I like to think that it is because my voice is soothing to him.....but he's probably just so bored that he falls asleep! : )

Happy Birthday Kaylee

On Sunday, Eli and I went to Kaylee's 2nd birthday party (Kaylee is my cousin's daughter). Eli and Kaylee had a wonderful time playing together. The got along so well and played for almost three hours. Happy Birthday, Kaylee!

Eli loves playing with other people's toys!
While Kaylee was opening her presents, Eli marched around the room with several of the presents to show everyone.
Eli had to try out Carson's bumbo seat....it worked pretty well until it was time to get out! : ) Carson is Kaylee's new baby brother.
Eli LOVED riding the horse!!

Yummy

Eli was so excited that I let him try to eat a bite of a corny dog. I don't think he ate any of it, but he enjoyed holding it and trying to eat it!

Sweet Potatos

Today was a crazy day! This morning on our way to the La Leche League Toddler Meeting, Eli and I were in a car accident. We were stopped behind a stalled car and another car hit us from behind. The loud sound and the impact scared Eli so much! He immediately started crying which made me start crying. : ( Thankfully, no one was hurt, but it was scary for both of us.

On to the sweet potatos.....I have been trying new recipes from the book YOU on a Diet. The recipes are SO good and very healthy. Tonight we had Lemon Caper Chicken with Sweet Potato Puree. Hunter and I thought it was very yummy, but Eli wasn't a fan of the sweet potatos. I was feeding them to him (they were pretty soft so he couldn't pick them up) and the second they touched his mouth he made the funniest faces. Check out the pictures! : )


Check out all his teeth in this picture! He actually only has 6 teeth, but this makes it look like he has a mouth full.

Water!

While Hunter was working in the yard today, Eli enjoyed playing with the water hose. After all the playing, he was soaked!

Playing in the backyard

Eli loves playing outside! If I open the back door, he runs out into the yard.

After all the playing, Eli likes to relax in the rocking chairs on the front porch.

The Ocean

Hunter showed Eli how to hold a seashell to his ear so he can hear the ocean. Here he is doing it on his own.....he's a little off, but good try, Eli!
