little drummer baby

Two metal mixing bowls and wooden spoons gave Eli quite the drumming experience. He alternated between banging like crazy and then trying to put it all in his mouth. This won't be a "play by yourself" toy anytime soon :). I feel that I'm teaching him life skills--if he's ever short on cash in the future he can grab some kitchen supplies and head to the nearest street corner!

Sunday

Speaking of breaks... this morning was a nice one. No, not the 5:30 awakening of the little man, but rather Moon taking a break to join us at church. We remembered to grab a couple pictures when we got home. Now to a much needed nap...

taking breaks

The baby and I have been taking some afternoon trips over to visit Moon. It's amazing how much an hour break can give! It's just about the perfect late afternoon break for Eli as well. And the other day we got some sunshine for it.

office visit

We visited Moon yesterday in his office space. He is working so, so hard. Studying. All day. For 3 more weeks. But he took a break for us ;)

Moon said, "it looks like he's on vacation." I see his point. All in the hat, I think. But taking ones baby to work is not a vacation. Staying home is more like it :). Here's to completing yet another week! Only one to go...

a first mothers day

Time spent with my guys, it was wonderful. A sleepy just awakened baby joined us for strawberry milkshakes on the balcony and then we all went on a long walk by the waterfront. Then the baby went to bed and we ate dinner and watched a movie.

Discovery

our little man

Moon captured these two images of the baby. I love how they turned out.

And on the move!

How we love this little (though getting big!) baby boy of ours.

He smiles all the time. At the person behind me in line at the store this morning. At whomever is riding the elevator with us. He's a pretty happy fella.

But then I take his paper away (that he's happily eating, while tooth #4 comes in) and we see a moment of panic. The "warning: sadness is coming" face. Followed by a couple big frowns and then back to giggles when the paper is returned.

Yes, he keeps us on our toes.
