Just a Few of Eliot

I've been so busy with client photos lately that I had a card full of Eliot photos that were just waiting to be uploaded and edited! I'm pretty happy with this bunch. His little friend, AJ, who lives downstairs from us, introduced Eliot to his first squirt gun. He had SO much fun with that thing. (Side note: I'm not huge on guns and probably won't allow him to own any (mayyybe a squirt gun, but we'll see)). AJ squirted Eliot and Eliot squirted AJ, but mostly, Eliot just squirted himself. If you click on the photos and look at them close up, you can see in most of the pictures, Eliot has water dripping from his face. He thought it was so funny though.



I can't believe how much Eliot has grown. This past year just flew by. He says probably over 100 words now. He is still obsessed with diggers (and "dums" which is Eliot-speak for Dump Trucks, or Garbage Trucks). In fact, his new favorite game is to empty the trash into his dump trucks and drive them around the house. I find trash EVERYWHERE these days. But he's adorable and he's such a love. He snuggles with me all the time. I will be heart broken when he grows out of this phase!



Oh, and the cozy coupe! My life long BFF's mother is a nanny. Her yard is FILLED with fun and exciting toys. The last time that we were there, Eliot refused to leave the cozy coupe. I posted an ad on Craigslist looking for one in our area and a very nice gentlemen sold us his grandchildren's old coupe for just $10! AND... today I found the matching gas tank on Craigslist for $5 so I had Ted go pick it up on his lunch break since it was very close to where he works! Score! I don't have any photos of the gas pump yet, but man, I love Craigslist!

I Just LOVE The Month Of May!

Beautiful temperatures and weather, long days getting longer, and the whole summer to look forward to. We had a gorgeous (albeit a little hot) May day yesterday. It was my grandmother's birthday party. Eliot loves birthday parties-- especially if the birthday girl (or boy) is willing to let him 'help' open the presents! Yesterday's fascination, however, more than the gifts, was the watering can :)
... and a frisbee.
