Superbowl and other fun stuff

The past few days have been busy...well, relatively speaking :) Eli has been working hard playing, and watching things. He is sleeping through the night, which is WONDERFUL. Well...actually, he slept 12 hours for 4 nights in a row, and then last night he got up at 5, so just a mild regression, but we're workin' on it. I really can't complain.
On Sunday we went to a Superbowl party at Eliott and Krista's. We had a very nice time. We got there early and hung out with them for a while before the game started. Katie asked if she could hold Eli, which, of course, I let her do :) But as soon as she got settled with Eli, Scott and Trish arrived...which also means Jessie arrived as well :) She had been pretty excited to see Jessie, so she quickly asked if she could let go of Eli. Below is a picture of Jessie and Trish. It had been a while since we had seen them, so it was nice to catch up with them. We ended up leaving at 7 so that we could get Eli home and in bed. (We still have yet to put him to bed somewhere else...I don't know how he would do being moved once he goes to sleep...we're kinda too chicken to try it...) We put Eli to bed, and then fell asleep during the rest of the Superbowl. I think Edgar woke up to see the end, but I was out. Apparently we weren't too into the game. I was really trying to stay up to see 'The Office' right after, but we ended up taping it and watching it Monday night.

This video below I took on Monday. Eli and I were playing with his rattle. He had it in his right hand, and was being pretty cute with it, so I, of course, got out the camera. I was taking a video of him, and while I was videoing, he switched the rattle from his right to his left hand. I was pretty impressed, and so I thought you would be as well, so enjoy.

Tuesday night Edgar put Eli's jumping thing (don't know what else to call it) together. Eli is a little small for it, but he seems to like it pretty good. His feet barely touch the floor, so I 'help' him jump, but he is entertained by it for a while. I was really glad that he can hold his head up so well while he's in it. It is quickly replacing the swing, which he seems to have lost interest in lately.

Today Eli and I went to a 'mommy group' for the first time. My neighbor invited me to join a while ago, and I was finally able to go today. They have 'meet-ups' almost every day of the week, and you can just go to whichever ones you want to. Today we went to the Upper Tampa Bay Trail and walked for just over an hour. The trail is beautiful--it's a paved trail, so we pushed the strollers and talked. Eli was pretty mad at first-I don't think he liked the wind blowing in his face...but he settled down and slept for most of the time. It was fun meeting some moms in the area and getting to know my neighbor better.

Anyhow...that's been our week so far. Not too exciting, but always entertaining for us!
