More than a week later

I can't believe that more than a week has gone by without an 'update'! I'm sure you're all just dying to know what's been going on...ha! It has been a busy week...I think. It's funny...I feel like we've been busy, but I don't really know what we've done. Eli has been trying some new foods...above you can see his first time eating rice-a staple in this house! Next is beans...well...maybe we'll wait on that. He also had Mango-LOVED it! and I even gave him a little taste of a chicken nugget yesterday at Burger King (It was a very little taste...not sure how I feel about his first exposure to meat being from Burger King...but oh well.)

He continues to learn new 'tricks'. He's standing really well with support. He loves it! He'll stand holding onto my hands for quite a while. He thinks it's pretty funny, and gets the cutest little grin on his face.

Last Friday we went over to Krista's house to bake. Krista and I had a lot of fun making petit fours, and contemplating sugar cookies...the cookies never happened, but oh well. Eli and Katie had fun playing together.

Eli loves watching Katie play with this little dog from Toy Story.

The funny thing about playing with Katie's toys is that they are all pink... :) Eli doesn't seem to mind...though I think daddy was a little disturbed on Saturday when Aunt Krista hooked Eli up with a doll and a 'My little pony'. Edgar quickly took those away for more 'manly' toys...ya know...a pink tea set. Hmmmm....In Edgar's defense, he was spinning it...I'm sure he was contemplating the mechanics behind the spinning, and formulating a formula (can you say formulating a formula?) for making a more efficient spin, because, ya know, Eli thinks that way.

This is what Eli really thinks about pink toys, but doesn't want to offend his cousin...

And what a cute cousin she is!

This picture is pretty 'pixely', but I thought it was so cute. Notice the teeth!

Another super cute thing Eli has been doing is turning pages in his books. We no longer have to do that difficult task :) He will turn the page if you start it for him. I have a video of it, but I have a bad feeling about the upload. I tried to upload it for 2 hours last night, and 2 1/2 hours today, and it is still not up...so I think I am going to have to give up the fight, and just post this without it. Oh well...You'll just have to come over and read to him so you can see it yourself :)
