Eli's Week

Eli and Amanda had a lot of adventures this week! They went to MOSH, the zoo and swimming in Ponte Vedra (dad said no comments about RWH since those are Eli's peeps now).

Here are a few pictures from his visit to the zoo with Amanda, Holden, Allison and Jackson:

Week Three.... Squash!

This week's food was squash... yellow and green. It didn't go over all so very well either, though one night dad did mix in a little spaghetti sauce to liven it up a little and Eli seemed at least a little receptive.

We're thinking next week's food might be something exciting like banana....

We're sorry!

Everyone's been a little under the weather in the house.... nasty congestion, lots of coughing and yuckiness, which is why there aren't many new pictures. Dad even went to the doctor!

Eli's new nanny, Amanda, started this past week too! Eli had a fun week of walks in the stroller and sling, a jaunt to the library with Holden (Amanda's nephew), a visit to MOSH and swimming at Epping!

Here's a video we shot on the 4th of July, shortly before the nastiness settled in. Mom is swatting a mosquito that was sucking dad's blood toward the end of the video, though dad contends it was a different story (i.e. that she's sick of hearing about big oil, which she is). There have been a lot of mosquitos recently because of all the downpours we've had, so we have to be very careful with Eli outside.

ENJOY!

Thanks Joe and Sarah!

Eli really enjoyed his presents! His grandparents dropped them off before their trip to visit Sandi:

He REALLY enjoyed unwrapping!

And decided to immediately to try out his new presents. Don't worry... it's German made, no fear of lead.

Week Two... Applesauce!

Applesauce didn't go over much better than sweet potatoes did, well, maybe a little better. Eli's still pretty set on breastmilk being the way to go and isn't sure why we're trying to change that. Take a look for yourself:

And in this one, he looks so much like his dad did as a baby it's a little uncanny....

Dad and I have decided squash will be next... not sure if it will be green or yellow. Too bad ours didn't take off out front or Eli could be eating home grown squash!
