Go DAWGS!

Cute pic of Eli supporting the Dawgs last Saturday.  He's wearing a jersey that some friends sent him.  (Thanks Shannon and Brian!)  I just love Eli's toothy grin! 

Fabulous Fall!

What a beautiful few weeks we have been experiencing!  Fall has always been one of my favorite seasons...it signals change, the holidays, football...so many great memories are wrapped up in fall.  We have been quite the busy little bees these last few weeks.  Eli has started attending Gymboree classes where he is learning concepts like big and small, some fun new songs and is getting to play with kids his age and a little older.  It is also nice because mommy is there and gets to talk to other mommies!  I have been attending a stay-at-home mom's bible study which has been really great.  We learn, laugh and talk. It has been really helpful to me.  We've also been enjoying the beautiful weather by going to the park, the beach, and for walks around the neighborhood with our friends.  I've added some pics of our fall activites.

Eli is doing well.  He is trying hard to talk.  He can say some words but most of the time I have no idea what is coming out of his mouth.  He is still holding on to that happy disposition (not this week but most of the time) and laughs a lot.  He is so cute to watch as he stumbles around the house laughing all the way.

Jeff has been pretty busy lately.  He has traveled to Jacksonville, FL and San Diego, CA for golf trips over the last few months.  He is finally home for a little while and although we did just fine while he was gone, we missed him and are glad he's back.

Eli actually walking!

Hi all,

 I just wanted to update the blog with a video of Eli walking on his own.  He is still a bit shaky but is doing great and is walking further every time he attempts it.  I know each child is an individual and that walking brings more work for me but I am so glad he is finally walking.  It took us 17 mos to get here and I was beginning to wonder if he would ever try it!  Enjoy the crazy, drunken baby as he makes his way across the room. 

The best of September

Sorry it has been so long since I have blogged.  I am really not good at keeping up with this.  Since the last blog Eli and I have been all over the place.  We were in GA for a week, then went to Daytona Beach with my mom and sisters, back home and then to Destin this last weekend for a wedding.  We have had lots of fun and I hope you enjoy the pictures!
