Standin' Boy

My mama and dad are teaching me to stand. I've almost got it!

Raspberrys after my bath

After my bath, my dad and I communicated in our own, special way.

Music Class

We had music class today. I needed a nap after PEPS, but still I had fun.

My PEPS friend Sophia was there with her grandparents.

PEPS+ at the Playground

Our PEPS group met at the Green Lake Playground this morning. Yay! Beckett, Harry, and Gloria were there. Sophia and Miles couldn't make this one.

BathTime

I ended the day with a bath. Yay, bathtime!

Dinner at Hale's

We went to Hales Ales for dinner. My dad likes it there because they have good beer.

Dad's disclaimer: in case The Department of Health and Human Services sees this site, Elliott doesn't get to drink the beer.

My first french fry. My dad says it's actually a JoJo.


I didn't really eat it, I just played with it.


I like Hales too!

The Big Parade

This morning, my family went to the Lighthouse and my dad read The Big Parade. It was his book when he was little, and now he reads it to me. My dad's favorite character is Brownie Bear, however he admires Mike Moose's confidence.

Pondering the Pancake

My dad made pancakes this morning. I had never before had a pancake, so I had to pick it apart first and make sure it would be okay.

Waiting for my lunch

It was a wet Sunday! This afternoon it rained and rained and rained. It was a great day for napping. I got a big nap this morning when my dad took me for a long walk. Then, during the rain, I got another big nap.

Between the naps, I had a good lunch with my dad. He took my picture while making my lunch.

A nice portrait of me

My mama took this picture and my dad really liked it. Here it is.

Swinging at the Park

My mama and I met up with Beckett and his mom for a walk. We went to the park and played on the swings. It was my first time, and it was so fun! Yay!

Beckett and me on the swings.


Beckett.


Yee haw!


Go for it, Beckett!


It was a great day!

Dad Attack!

My dad got home from work and snuck up on me!


We played on the floor together.


Mama and I were playing too. Fun!

New Baby Sling

My mama got a sling in which to carry me. I like it... I think.

Monday Monday

After such a good weekend, Mondays can be tough. But I made the best of it with two long naps at daycare.

The weather was great for checking the garden this morning.


An evening walk is our family's favorite way to end the day.

Mother's Day

It's Mother's Day, the day we celebrate mamas. I like it! Happy Mother's Day to my mama, Grandma Barb, and GranGlo!

My dad got these flowers for my mama.


My mom got a colorful shirt.

Music Class

Mama, Dad and I went to music class today. It's called Kindermusik and it's just for babies.

We played catch!


Dad and I watching and listening.


We had fun, singing and dancing.


We play with different instruments. I enjoyed drumming.

Visit from Mason

Mason came over for a short visit today. It was great to see him.

Dad's Day Off

Dad took the day off of work to spend with me!

He likes breakfast at Pete's, a local diner, so we started our day there.


We went to Costco with my mama. This was my first trip to Costco. It's big!


I had some zwieback on the way home. Mama thought it was funny that I got it all over me.


Ymmm....gooood nap.

Riding on My Dads Shoulders

My mama and I waited on the front porch for my dad to get home from work. When he did, he lifted me right up on his shoulders! We walked all around the yard. It was so fun!

Hey, I can reach the Tamarisk tree!


On my dad's shoulders.

Daycare

I go to daycare three days a week. On Mondays and Wednesdays I see my buddy Harry. I know Harry from PEPS.

At daycare.

Tending the Garden

My dad and I check the garden every evening, and most mornings too. Here we are this morning. I'm not sure what we're checking for exactly, but I do like to play in the dirt.
