This weather has been amazing (amazingly odd, but we'll take it), so what do we do when it's warm out? We meet friends at the park, eat meals outside and go for long stroller rides! When Eli was born, he made it known he was an outdoor baby. He would cry and cry, but the minute you stepped outside, he was quiet. We spent many naps in the rocking chair out on our porch because that was the only way I could get him to sleep. These days, Eli still loves to be outdoors!!! He apparently also knows what to do when a camera is pointing at him (based in the photos you will see below). At this point, Eli is "cruising", or walking along structures and transferring from things like the coffee table to the couch. It's quite impressive for an almost 10 month old. In the video below, you can see his favorite car that Nana got for him. He pushed that little wind up car all over the place, I worry one of these days the rubber band inside is going to snap since he winds it up so much.
Saturday was St. Patrick's day, and Aunt Monica's birthday!! How did we celebrate???? That's right, we went to a mom-to-mom sale and found a new wardrobe for Eli at all of our favorite stores!! As it turns out, this unseasonably warm weather has left us scrambling to find clothesline operate for the weather! It also doesn't help that his sizes are all over the map. He is wearing some pants that are 3-6 months and the pants that are 6-12 months are great in length, but fall off his waist. Either way, Eli now has some clothes that are weather appropriate:)
