Mother's Day Weekend

The weeks just fly by. Eli has been a busy boy and is figuring out how to do more and more each day. Let's see... no more baths in his room. We used to put the tub on a waterproof mat and give him a bath together. Not anymore. Eli loves to splash. He really makes quite a mess now. So bath time in the big tub from now on!

He also is scooting all around. He flaps his arms and legs like crazy when he wants to get somewhere. He can rotate around to get to toys that he wants and will roll to get to something. He grunts and pushes up on his arms- I have a feeling that this kid will be crawling before long. I also think I see a little white dot on his bottom gum. I don't know if I am ready for teeth! Hmm, what else? He has started practicing with a sippy cup. He knows how to hold it and put his mouth on it and has even figured out how to tip his head back a little. We also introduced bananas this weekend- not as much of a fan of them as he is with apples.

My friend Christine and her daughter Julia came over Saturday for a playdate. Julia is 3 months old and cute as a button. We tried to get their picture together, but Eli was not cooperating.

"I'm not interested in having my picture taken Mom!"

"Who is this? A girl!?!?!"

"Don't touch me. Girls have cooties!!"

Too cute for cooties

Kevin's mom, dad, Bill, Julie, and Mina came over Sunday afternoon. We were celebrating Mother's Day and Bill's 39th birthday (May 12th). Menu- grilled salmon, shrimp cocktail, potato omelet, sauteed zucchini, broccoli with szechuan sauce, and a chocolate cake that Julie brought. Kevin's mom made a spicy Korean rice cake dish, too.

Happy Birthday Bill!
