Spring has finally sprung in mid-Michigan. Eli loves being out in the sunshine and inspecting all of the green and growing plants. "Inspecting" involves grabbing a branch, pulling off as many leaves as possible, and then attempting to stuff them into his mouth. It's great fun and you can literally watch him learning. Don't worry... we've steered clear of the rosebush I got for Mother's Day!

Sitting up like a bbbbig bbbboy bbbbrother in the high chair from Grandma and Grandpa. Eli has discovered how to purse his lips and make a "b" sound. Dave and I find ourselves often over emphasizing our b's too!


"Helping" mom make the bed. I wish you could hear the squeals of delight.

Yummy avocado. Open wide!
