Oh no my mom is 30!

(or was it just a sneeze?)

weekend away

saturday we drove to the coast. 

someone slept the whole way there...

in his new carseat.

we arrived in time for a little lunch.

there were ceiling fans. and lots of people.

eli's favorite. 

but by the end it was only this bucket that could keep him occupied.

so we went to the beach. 

it was breezy. 

a little chilly. 

but beautiful. 

and eli was snuggled up next to moon.

we stayed at a great little place right on the beach. 

it was wonderful to look at the waves crashing

without having to be on the beach.

and we rested up and relaxed...

because the next day was a big one.

moon did a sprint triathlon.

eli and i were so proud of him as we watched.

first he swam (quite far!) in a lake. 

one of those yellow heads is his. 

i was cold just watching them. 

but their wetsuits helped. 

then he biked.

then he ran.

meanwhile we watched.

and played in the car.

and managed to be at the finish line 

as he crossed it! 

(i wasn't quite sure how the timing would line up with eli, but he did great)

so proud of our triathlete!

in.to.every.thing.

Eat.

Peaches.
Almond butter on whole wheat.
50% in mouth and 50% on floor.
We'll take those numbers.

piano player

a tea bag

He loves watching me drink a cup of tea. And especially when he's in the carrier--he just wants to stare and grab that dangling string from my tea bag... really he just loves eating paper (is that normal?).

laundry baby

so helpful he is.
pushing all that clean laundry...
all over the place.

24 hrs in pictures

Loves his daddy's arms.

Climbing. Climbing. Climbing. He really wants to scale some walls. Or his mommy. Or the fridge.

And then he wears himself out and lays his head on the table at the end of lunch. (he's just started doing this!)

day by day...

A (crazy) sewing project: the baby down vest. Feathers everywhere!

Library fun. Eli is quite taken to books.

A new carseat.

Some closet organizing.
