Officially 6 months old! (well yesterday...)

Elias is officially 6 months as of yesterday! Next week is his appointment so we will have to wait until then to get the official stats to report for you all. I am going to cringe when he gets his shots as I always do but I am excited for this appointment.

Here is Eli playing with his new favorite toy, he loves to sit up on the floor (with the slight assistance of a boppy pillow) and stack these up as well as put them in his mouth.



Clowning around....


HUGE present for Mommy & Daddy!


Look how happy it makes him. This kid is too much. If you notice he has poop creeping out the side of his upper thigh! hahaha...


Sorry for the last 2 pictures if they grossed you all out. I figured as cute at this little bugger is the world must know what gross things he produces!

Shopping & a quick trip to NYC

On Friday night into Saturday morning, Adam came down with a nasty bug that has been going around so Saturday I decided to run all my errands with Eli in tow. I figured us being out of the house was a much better idea than keeping Eli home with a puking Daddy.

Here is Eli in his stroller, he doesn't look overly happy in this picture but I can assure you he does love being pushed in the stroller and all the old ladies going crazy over him!



My to-do-list on Saturday was pretty agressive for bringing a baby along but I figured this was still my best option. Here were all the things I needed to do & actually completed. I was so happy with Eli, he did awesome :)

1. Visit Fleet Feet to sign up for the 1/2 marathon training group runs.
2. Go to Play It Again Sports - Adam is looking for a free weight set starting at 25lbs and up, I figured I would pop in and see if they had any with the rack, no luck.
3. Drive over to the West Farms Mall for Eli's Christening outfit
4. Visit J.Crew & Ann Taylor Loft with my gift cards :)
5. Pick up my free bag of Moose Munch from Harry & David with my certificate from spending so much $ there this past Christmas, YUM
6. Stroll through Pottery Barn just because I love that store

So overall my Saturday with Eli was a success. We had to take a 15 minute break for Eli's bottle but other than that he was so content in his stroller with his little piggy stuffed animal & looking all around. He seemes to really love this new perspective as opposed to being strapped into the infant carrier.


Sunday I went to Brooklyn, NY to visit my grandparents & Dad. I left Eli with Adam since he was on the mend. It would be just too much for me to handle without Adam. Plus, we are dog sitting right now so Adam kind of had to stay home anyways. Overall, it was a good traveling day- nice & sunny out and not too cold. The ride down took 2hrs and back in the evening about 2 1/2 hrs due to traffic. I was home by 7:15pm and tired, we also went to church in the morning before I left for NY so it was a full day.

Here is Eli sporting his zip up sweatshirt from Alaska. Our friends Sue & Rob went their for their honeymoon last June and brought this back for Eli. Thanks guys!
