Big news day!

Alert! Alert!  Stop the presses  :)

Hi Elijah!
What a big day you had today!  You made your mommy cry - I was so proud of you.  Not only did you sleep 14 hours last night, you really walked on your own today.  You were sitting on my lap at the Children's Museum and I put you down.  You started toddling off towards the balls.  Then, the rest of the day, you would just take off walking .  You didn't do it full time but you are now comfortable enough to go long distances without anyone prompting you to come to them.

Well, just to let you know a bit about our day.  We woke up at the same time, had some oatmeal then we went to Kidz Explore.  You loved all the kids and the activity going on.  Unfortunately, there wasn't a big selection of activities for you to participate in.  Most of the stuff was for older kiddos.  But, you did pet the donkeys, play in the ball pit and go down the bouncy slide.  You really liked the slide and I was kind of worried as it flipped you over.






After the Kidz Explore, we went to the Children's Museum.  You had fun and showed daddy all the ways to play.  However, the room that is supposed to be all about kiddos your age is too boring for a big boy like you  :)

Finally, we went to your cousin Andrew's birthday party where you showed off your walking skills!  You did great playing with everyone even though you were getting tired.

Well buddy, we don't have huge plans for this week or weekend.  The only exciting thing we have going on is Auntie Val coming in town and you know she will want to love you up!  Thank you for making my day today - just thinking about watching you walk away from me is making me tear up again.  My little baby is now officially a big boy!
