Update on Eli and his summer adventures

Here is a quick update on Eli in picture form.

Eli truly enjoyed spending father's day with his daddy. He got his first taste of playing in the river, and he loved it after a lot of coaxing. :)

Happy 1st father's day DADDY!!! I love you!!
They sure are big buddies!!!Trying to get brave to put my feet in the COLD water...
Well it's not so bad when you are standing on daddy's feet.

Man all of this playing is making me sleepy
Oh wait, I love mommy too!

Adventuring in the living room is my favorite thing to do...here I am playing with my favorite door stopper.

Here is the cute outfit from Father's day...but mama couldn't get a good picture of me because I am too fast for her!

I love this thing!!

Now onto reading my books, I am an expert at turning the pages.

I like reading books sideways too

I love books so much I could eat them

Mama- I love that camera...could I play with it please?

I am really into drooling...can't you tell....

Say CHEESE!!!

Summer Fun

Eli's First Braves Game

I would rather play with Daddy's hat instead of watching the game!

MY FAVORITE PICTURE!!!!!!!

Tomahawk CHOP!!!

Swinging at the park

I love swinging!

Playing with my cousins

Eli and Stella played together this weekend. In the pictures below Stella is 6 months old and Eli is almost 9 months old!! They really love each other and played extra sweet together!!

Sitting up like big kids!!

Well Eli tried to play sweet, but he really preferred to attack Stella!!

ME and Uncle Andrew

Stella loves laying on her tummy!! :)

Eli decided he also wanted to play with cousin Madelyn....since she just got a NEW play set! Fun times!!!

Ok Madelyn, I have never done this before....is this how you are suppose to do it?

Swinging with Aunt Mary!!

Sliding for the first time!! So much fun!!!

Uncle Daniel is so handy when the dog comes jumpin'!!!

Wild Adventures with Eli

Eli has started to pull up and stand every moment that he can. Here he is trying to pull the car seat off of the couch. He looks so long in the pictures!!! My baby is growing up!

Eli's thought-"Daddy I just want to see what is inside the carseat!! PLEASE!!"

Because of Eli's crawling and adventure skills, we have had to "baby-proof" the living room by placing the ottoman between the recliner and couch as a blocking device. Well the other day Eli discovered how to "get out." So I took some pictures of his attempt....
"That mama can't trick me...."

"I must take a rest, this is pretty tough work..."

Almost there....."I did it...I made it!!! HOME FREE.....now what can I get into in the kitchen"

Another picture mama!!

Cheese!!!!!!!

Hey guys...I like climbing up my daddy's legs!

I think Eli looks like such a big boy in this picture!! Sniff..sniff...
