Mim's Birthday Weekend

We went up to Milton this weekend to celebrate Mim's birthday. Nathan and Katie also came up, and it was great being all together. Katie filled me in on the wedding plans thus far- so exciting!

On Saturday morning, Eli helped Pop and Daddy wash cars. He was a very good helper and was rewarded with a popsicle.

Time for a treat. He kept rubbing the popsicle on his lips and then licking his lips. He wouldn't take a bite.

We spent so much time outside this weekend, even though it was HOT! Eli liked his whale pool more this time around.

Mom's birthday dinner (that she made!)was great- crabcakes and filets. Here is Kevin browning the crab cakes.

And here's Eli at his favorite spot in the kitchen. He loves looking at the pictures. We ask him to find certain people and he does a really good job.

Happy Birthday Mim! Eli and I have been practicing the happy birthday song for weeks. He did a really good job. "Happy to you. Happy to you. Mi-im. He sings it in tune, but you can see that he is missing a few key words.

The song to Mim almost didn't happen. Right at dinnertime, Eli had the worst tantrum I've ever seen. He hadn't napped well that day, but still. Holy moly. It was a remove-him-from-the-dinner-table-and-take-him-upstairs screaming tantrum. But then he managed to get it together to sing for Mim.

Soon to be Mr. and Mrs. Bish
