Big Boy Carseat!

Well our little chunker is just about out of his infant carseat.  It is really hard to believe that our infant seat engulfed him just 10 months ago and now his little legs are hanging over the edge.
I was able to find TWO carseats for my super awesome Orbit system.  I put Elijah in his NEW Big Boy Carseat the other night and thought "Ok gotta take a picture of this!".

My how time flies.  1 year is just around the corner..... :(

Radio Flyer Fun!

Elijah and Haven March 3rd, 2012

This past weekend Elijah and I headed down to Los Gatos to hang out with Aaron's family.  Aaron's cousin Sarah, had a baby girls (Allison) 10 weeks ago and none of us had met her. So we all convened at Aunt Barbara (Bob's Sister) and Uncle Terry's house for a family get together.  Allison is so big!   She is 15 lbs!....at 10 weeks?! Chunky Monkey! haha
Bridget put Elijah in the radio flyer wagon at one point, and he was loving it!  Haven (Mike & Joslyn's 2.5 year old) thought that was a great idea and hopped in with Elijah.  Bridget pulled them around and around and around the patio!  So cute!

Elijah's First Trip to Seattle!

Last weekend we (as in, me and Elijah....Daddy got the flu and could not go) went to Seattle for Aaron's (mind you) cousin's wedding. We had a fabulous time there!  Albeit, a bit draining and a bit of a trial for what was (somewhat) unexpectedly to come this week!  Thank God for Bob & Bridget.  I think I would have flown home early, OR stayed in the hotel room the whole time if they had not been with me!
We did, however, like I state before, have a great time.  The wedding was beautiful set out in the country about 45 minutes north east of Seattle in an area called Snohomish (man its Native American names everywhere up there- really hard to pronounce!).
Here are the highlights:

• Bob Drove on the sidewalk, almost hit a homeless man (who stated to Bob's nephew that Bob was "one crazy mother-F'r"- HAHAHAHA), turned into a one-way parking lot - the wrong way, was forced to BACKOUT of the parking lot by one very loud lady-parking gaurd.
• Elijah was almost perfect during the wedding ceremony
• The groom lost his passport and we still aren't sure if they ever made it on to their honeymoon
• Elijah saw his first snow (and I did NOT get a picture of it....oops!)
• We watched a 15 year girl catch a fish (i.e. the fish market people through it to her) at Pike's Place Public Market
• Elijah slept in my arms for at least a half hour on the flights going and coming -thank god.

Here is what I learned: Traveling with an infant is difficult.


And HERE are the pictures!

Day Care Stinks!

Well this week was Elijah's first and last week of Daycare.  Most of you know the story of A. Why he is in Daycare (i.e. Aaron got a job)
B. Why he is out of Daycare (i.e. let's just say it wasn't a good fit)
Our great friend Davina, will be watching E.J. now, at least until May (when she is due with her little bundle of joy), which gives me two whole months to find a suitable daycare, where it will be a "good fit".
I took these pictures on Elijah's first day of daycare and thought they were pretty cute.  I espeically like the first one that you see above! It's very telling.

More Later (hopefully not so long as this one!),

Love,

Cousins!

We were over at Aaron's cousin's house last week (Mike and Joslyn) and all the baby's/kids were there. It was so fun to see Elijah interact with his cousins (2nd cousins I guess).
Here are some cute snaps I took of all of them playing together.

Haven (2.5), Elijah (9.5 mo), and Logan (13 mo)

OOOO it makes sound and lights up!

Logan with REAL red hair.  His color is very close to mine.

Cherrios!

Good Morning!
I was up with Elijah this morning feeding him breakfast. He was being very naughty, not wanting his oatmeal or banana baby food (really?! not banana baby food?!) so I gave him some Cherrio's, which he loves and some cut up banana, and he did much better.  I think we are pretty close to phasing out baby food at least at breakfast.  I literally just seriously stocked up on baby food, so I am hoping we can at least make it another month. Anyway, here are some cute pictures I took of him, while he was eating his breakfast.  You can see that his hair is coming in more and more every day now.  I gave him a bath last night and the curls are really starting to form.  It's kind of dorky looking at the moment, but hey, at least it's hair!  

Run for the Bath!

Elijah LOVES the bath! So much so that when I turn the water on, he will hear it in the other room and come racing toward it. Today when I was filming him for you, he almost got in. You will see that at the end.
Hope you are going well, and sorry for the lack of posts, we have kind of neglected taking photos these past couple of weeks. We will try to be better.
