My Supermen!

The Longs

Being from opposite sides of the state, Andy and I didn't know many of the same people before we met. Phil and Pam Long however, were, are, and always will be an exception.
We had our dear friends, the Longs over for dinner a few weeks ago, and each one brought Elias an appropriate gift representing who they are :-).We will name the puppy Pam



The Tarantula's name is Phil.
Thanks Phil and Pam!!!

tower destruction!

favorite drawer

This is Eli's favorite drawer, the handle on the outside has always been irresistible, and he accidentally got it opened one day and discovered a whole new world of treasures hidden inside! Its so easily accessible and provides lots of entertainment and occupies his busy mind/body, so this will be Eli's special drawer that mamma doesn't make off limits.

oh-no!

yup, he finally discovered the stairs...

Rub a dub dub

Right now I am letting Eli's natural body oil be his moisturizer, so I only bathe him as necessary.
Most of the time he loves the water, some times he hates it.
He outgrew his baby bathtub already, I can't believe it. I grounded him for that, of course!

First Time Swinging at the Park

We were so happy to have a beautiful day last Saturday. We worked on fixing up our house in Camas, painting the garage and doing a little yard work. We are hoping to sell it very soon! Elias is such a huge help, he helps by supervising happily from his car seat. He is sooo sweet (even though he is on a sleeping stike during the nights) After we finished working, we took him to swing in the park.
