5 months old today!


Here I am! 5 months old today. Elias is quite the "flirt" with the ladies, here he is working his magic with my friend Sylvia :) One thing about Eli that I would like to mention about his character is that he loves to kick his legs & stare at his reflection. When this baby gets on the floor he kicks like crazy! Then he turns to the side to look at himself in the mirror on his gym mat and giggles/talks to himself. It is so cute to watch. I find myself just watching him amuse himself when I can totally be getting something done and be productive!

On Friday I decided to take a half day from work to have a lunch/play date with the girls. It was so much fun to see the babies together again, in just a few weeks they change so fast! Eli had a great time at Margaret's house visiting Cammy (her 3month old), here are some pictures from our lunch date.

All the babies hanging out....Cammy sitting in her chair, Jack in the Jumperoo & Eli chillin' in the Bumbo chair.


While I was working from home for the first half of the day on Friday I got to see the the tree's in the front of our home come down. It was crazy to watch to be honest I was terrified quite a bit. Here is the view from our bay window in the living room of the tree's standing while they were getting ready to take them down.





The final before & after pic will be posted soon, the stumps still need to be ground up and the front lawn is a mess. It is very weird to see our front yard so open, it is going to take some getting used to that is for sure.


One other thing, I hate landscaping or anything to do with the lawn so this new project we have on our hands (getting some curb appeal back to our home) is not my favorite thing. Hopefully, I will learn to like it, I have a feeling the next few summers will be a work in progress with the exterior improvements we would like to do to our home.
