Father's Day 2011

We had an impromptu photo shoot on Father's Day.  Aren't they handsome?

Eli sure looooves his daddy!  

Summer Fun

We have had a busy, fun summer so far!  It's already scorching hot here, so most of the time we have spent outside has been centered around water.  

Eli is now 10 months old, and into EVERYTHING.  He's a very curious little guy, and has started exploring in all of our drawers, cabinets, baskets, etc.  He will play with a broom, golf club, dog toy or plastic cup over a baby toy any day.  He is a pro at crawling, and he's quick and fearless.  Last week at school, he escaped from the exersaucer by pushing up and out of the seat and then lowering himself down over the side and onto the ground.  He had his first bloody nose (bumped it on the coffee table), and only cried for a second.  He can run while holding on to the sit-to-stand walker, and just this week we have seen him take a couple steps on his own, so I know walking is not far off.  His hair is really growing, his teeth are showing now, and he looks more and more like a little boy every single day.  He is a pretty good eater, but still seems to prefer baby good.  His favorite food is green beans (still pureed), and his favorite sound to make is "tssss" -- he hisses all day long.  

Here are a few pictures of what we've been up to lately.  **Naked baby alert!!**
