Biddles with his new hat....it's been so sunny so this has worked

good for the car. Old Navy has them for $5.50!

Well we had a great sunday!
This is Eli waking up from his morning nap. He was grabbing the crib rail...very cute! I didn't know that he can reach it. I will be now putting the rail up ALL the way.


Then we went to church where he got to play with his buddy Isaac. Well mostly he just chewed on the little boat on the twisty toy. Oh and the new kid in the nursery kept trying to hit him with the stackable cups.


With all that playing he then took a nap in the sling. So precious!!! I love it when he falls asleep in the sling. He's so cozy and snuggly.


Then after that we went over to Uncle Pats & Aunti Kristy's house, hung out with daddy and practiced his crawling. Today (Monday) he crawled from one end of the rug to the other. Then the rest of the day he just kinda played in one place. It must take a lot of work to do all that crawling.


The newest news is that he is getting his first tooth. On the bottom in the front. I can see a little white tip. He's doing really good. He's been really happy so far. And he's been eating a ton...he loves sweet potatos and rice cereal. Today he ate the most he has eaten ever. And sleeping a lot also. He must be in growth spurt. Things are getting very busy around here, he's quite the mover.

Daddy and Biddles at Starbucks this morning. Don't worry he didn't really drink the Chi!

Swimming with Mom and Dad at the Y. Eli is such a good little swimmer.

And loves to use his kick board to kick around the pool.

Well last night Eli slept through the night! We kept wondering if he was ok...checking on him throughout the night. But of course he was! He went to bed at 7pm and woke up at 6:30am. 11.5 hrs. Good Job Biddley.

The letter of the day is R...backwards!!!

A Poo Story

This was also a first. I was only in the kitchen for a second. I came back out minutes later to see what all the noise was (Eli talking and playing loudly) to find him on his tummy (I had left him on his back playing in the living room) rolling around and playing in his poo. He also got a bunch of his little letters in on it too. Poo was everywhere. I swear this all happened in less then 1 minute. The joke is this. Ever since Eli has started eating foods and learning to crawl he has not wanted to go on the potty. Some days he will go, and other days he will protest. He does this by arching his back and looking up at me and talking really loud. So I tried to not have a diaper on him today to see if we would relinqish the potty practice...but Eli has definatly had the last word on this one. This coming from a 5 1/2 month old who has never wanted to go poo in his diaper, I could count on two hands how many dirty diapers I have had to changed since he was 10 weeks old. So this is his first "Potty Pause", he wants to take a brake, I get it. No potty practice for the rest of the week, unless he tells me he wants to go!

This weekend we practiced the sippy cup...if a cup is this messy I can't wait for next month when we start real food :)
