The weather now seems like it has turned to spring. We had a few nice days spent outside. We all have been sick the past week or so but I have some nice pictures to post that are sitting in my camera. I am going to call about the first apartment today..sounds like a good one..here's hoping its in our price range!

It has been a damp few days. The sun finally came out yesterday with much relief. I haven't walked that much in weeks! I have had the week off due to power outages at my workplace. It has been nice to spend some family time together. Eliot had his 6 mo doctors appointment yesterday. He is doing very well and weighs in at almost 17lbs and 27". He has just learned to do this:

We are in big trouble now! This is the state of one of the walking paths near my mothers house. The Royal River really overflowed its banks with all of this rain. It was pretty amazing to see.

We had a house full of babies last night. It was a nice dinner with good friends. Here are some pictures of the fun:

This is super baby... he likes being on his belly and putting his arms and legs out at the same time. He does lots of push ups. Last night was the first night he decided to sleep on his belly.

I tried him on sweet potato. He LOVED it! Probably tastes a lot better than the oat cereal he has been getting. I think next week will be carrots.

With snow (about 3 inches and it's almost all melted) behind us and a Nor'easter of rain ahead of us I am looking forward to hunkering down for nice visits this weekend. Simon will be over on Saturday and Tim and Trisha on Sunday. Visitors are also a good reason to clean the house. Usually the only reason.

I think Eliot is getting more teeth as he has been very cranky today and drooling like a broken faucet. This:


is supposed to be the best teething device ever. For $20 bucks I think I'll keep giving him the damp washcloth and plastic rings.


This is a website I have been looking at recently:

http://nursery.apartmenttherapy.com/

It has a lot of nice links to quality children's toys. It is giving me ideas for our next apartment when Eliot will have a little more of his own space.

Ahh.. the boy let me sleep til 6 this morning! It felt like a luxurious weekend. I've started working on a fairly ambitious craft project. I am trying to make a little outfit for a little baby of my co worker. I hope Eliot likes dolls...I have come across so many cute dolls I would like to make. We are about to start looking for a new apartment. We might look at some lower priced houses to get our feet wet in that department.

This is the usual state of things..chaotic but cute:

Sorry for the lack of posting as usual... he has been up a little early and not sleeping that well lately. i think he wants to practice all of the fun things he is learning to do. to make up for the lack of posts i am going to update everyday this week! even if it is just a picture there will be something...there..now ive said it... i have to do it! sleep deprivation talking?
