I don't have any new pictures for you today - imagine that, your mom didn't snap your photo for 2 whole days :) Sometimes, it is nice to get away from the paparazzi, isn't it? You have had a ton of family time and I have a few fun things to share with you.
On Wednesday, you went to Mary's then off to Gramma Lang's while I had a call for the last hour of my workday. But, it wasn't just Gramma Lang - it was Auntie Val too. You know what that means? You were spoiled rotten while you were there. I came and joined you and mooched dinner off Gramma :)
On Thursday, we had dinner with your Auntie Val, Auntie Sheila, Gramma, Uncle Jeff and Grampa. You hammed it up for a bit and played drama king for them with your choking. Funny how you don't ever choke on your cereal puffs at home but when people are around, you don't know how to eat. After that, you went to hang out with your Brigham family too! Daddy had your Aunt Laura help get your car seat in right and so you got to see Aunt Laura, Uncle Mark, Gramma Ruth, Tyler and Zach. Dad said you were good but you got tired towards the end.
Mary told your daddy that you are starting to give "fives". She puts her hand out and you are slapping it. HOW FUN. Pretty soon, Kylie Shark can teach you the appropriate words and pitch to say "HIGH FIVE". Last night, I was waving at you while you were sitting in Daddy's lap and you started moving your hand too. I think you might be getting close to waving a little bit.
You were laying in bed with me today and I thought you were getting ready for your nappy. You were in such a great mood but then I could tell that switch was about to flip. You rolled over on your tummy and your knees went under your belly and your feet dug in and you pushed yourself across the bed. Unfortunately, I think we might be getting closer to you crawling. I know I always want you to get bigger - to hold your own bottle, to be potty trained, to eat people food, to say mommy, etc. But, I am so not ready for you to be crawling or walking. For one, the house is not Elijah proofed. For another, that means you truly are a big boy and I am not ready for my baby boy to be a big boy. Well, a big boy would have chores and could do dishes and laundry...maybe I need to rethink this.... :)
Your daddy told me that you were singing today. You guys were in the car together and he was singing to the radio and then you started making your noises too. I am so bummed I missed it but I guess when we are all in the car, we are normally talking and not singing. He said that it took you awhile to warm up on the way to dinner but when you left Sortinos, you started right away and kept at it all the way to Gramma Ruth's house.
Well buddy, that is about it. We have hot plans this weekend - we are going to dinner with Grampa Larry's sister Cindy tomorrow. You haven't met her yet. She is the original "Funsucker" - mommy models her. Then, hopefully, we will get to see Uncle Ugly on his 60th Birthday. Saturday, we head up to Minnesota to see Baby God Daddy. When we get home, it is off to Gramma and Grampa Naven's 55th Anniversary party. So, busy times and hopefully, you will continue to be a happy baby!!
I will leave you with two scrapbook pages. The 6 month pages have sat on my computer screen all week. They are just so special, I was having a hard time with them. Then, I saw that word art about your smile being like sunshine and I knew I just had to plunge right in and do them. Your smile lights up your face and my heart - it is like sunshine. Sometimes, if I am blue, I will look at your photos and they just make me relax and smile. The bouncey one was quick and easy. Guess I just had to get over the hump of the 6 month photos :)
Well Eli, I just wanted to tell you something but I really didnt want to make your mommy upset, Tues when you were with Grandpa and Heather, you were on the floor playing with all your toys and you rolled over on tummy put your face down on your hand and then the next thing we knew you popped your butt up and your knees went into a bend and you pushed yourself across your matt, it was so funny really your grandpa said next time you are here you will be crawling you just wait and see, but I didnt want to tell your mom because she might get upset that you did it here and not in front of her (dont want to have your mommy miss your stages that you are doing). oh and your mommy said that you were singing with daddy in the car and tue you and I were doing the same thing kinda well i started to sing to a commercial that was on tv and you were kinda mocking me so I dont know if that is the same as you were doing with daddy but it thought it was cute and it will be something that I will always do when you are her to see if you mock me or ignore me, lol Ok sorry to take up your blog but i just wanted to share. love you baby Eli, (I guess now since you are getting to be a big boy you cant really be called baby anymore so I will try to controll my self and not call you baby anymore, I said try)
