Eli started taking big boy baths about a month ago. He is so funny to watch, he swims around like a little frog. I took some video of him swimming around in the tub, but obviously there is a little bit of baby nakedness, so it won't let me post it. LAME! So, I guess these pictures will have to do.
Alright, so Eli is in love with the vacuum! He loves to talk to it and touch it. It is so funny because he will leave the living room and go in his room (where we keep the vacuum) all by himself and find the vacuum. This morning he went and found it first thing and he played with it for about a half hour, which is a really long time for a little guy.
It is hard to believe that two years ago today Dustin and I were starting out our new life together. It feels like I have always had Dustin in my life, I know that we were meant to be together. I feel incredibly blessed to have Dustin as my husband, I thank Heavenly Father for him every single day. Dustin is a true ray of sunshine. He literally brightens my life just by being in it. He makes me happier than I have ever been. Dustin is an incredible Dad to Eli and I am so glad that Eli will grow up with him as a role model.
This last weekend we were able to visit with Dustin's parents in PA. They took us to a really pretty park and we got to feed some ducks. Dustin was excitd to get to watch the BYU game that was on Saturday. And Nana was nice enough to watch Eli while Dustin and I went out just the two of us. We had a great time visiting with them.
Elijah is officially big enough to now use his big boy car seat. As you can see in the picture he likes it alot more than his rear facing infant car seat. His legs are so long that they were stinking out about an inch over the edge of his old seat, and he was looking a little cramped in it overall. He is very much enjoying more wiggle room in his new seat. It is also alot of fun because now that he is facing the front, Dustin and I can talk to him and play with him on car trips.
Eli started pulling himself up on things the other day, and it is now one of his favorite things to do. He has gotten to be such a big kid!
Eli is actually seven and a half months old this week. I took the picture two weeks ago and just haven't had time to post it. Elijah just keeps getting bigger and bigger! He is so much fun to watch. He army crawls amazingly well now, and he is very quick at getting where he wants to go. He has the two middle bottom teeth and is now getting the two middle top teeth (he is going to look like a little hamster for a while! LOL.) Eli has a cute little voice and he loves to show it off by talking and singing. He giggles all the time and Dustin and I think he sounds just like Butthead from Beavis and Butthead. And now that he pulls himself up on things, nothing is safe from his destruction. He is starting to look more like a little boy and less like a baby. It is so much fun watching his little personality really start to show, and to see him change so much everyday! Dustin and I really enjoy our little man.
