No titles come to mind

I've been terrible about posting lately. I really have no excuse. Occasionally I have a very busy day, but for the most part, I've just been lazy. Plus there haven't been too many exciting things happening...ya know, just normal every day stuff. I just put the few pictures I have actually taken in the last couple of weeks onto my computer, so I figured I'd share some here.

I did make a cake for a friend. She was throwing a baby shower. It was a pretty simple cake, but I thought it turned out kind of sweet. It's a little hard to read because of the white writing...I had fun making it, though cakes make me SO nervous. Here is the end result: We also had a visit from Eli's friend Creed. His mom and dad were moving all of their stuff into a new house, so Creed came over to play. They boys had a lot of fun together, though I didn't take many pictures...this one made me laugh. When Creed first got here he didn't want to leave the entryway...Eli was trying to get him to come and play.
We went to a baseball game last week. Edgar didn't get to go, so Eli and I went with Ryan, Ben & Carly. Eli did really good-he enjoyed 'watching' the game...and getting up and down from the seat & my lap...This first one is a self portrait...not the best, but the only one I took of the two of us...I've been so lazy with the camera!

Eli loved playing with Uncle Ryan's cowbell

Not sure why there was a cat playing the piano on the big screen, but I was entertained...

A video of Eli playing with the cowbell:

He finally fell asleep in the 8th inning (it was a day game, so the 8th inning was at about 2:20...) and slept for about 20 minutes. He did amazingly well that evening on that little sleep. I'm starting to get worried that he doesn't need as much sleep as he used to :( I gotta admit...I love it when he takes a good 3 hour nap...I'm afraid those days are gone.

Last week our church had VBS, and I got to teach the 3rd & 4th graders. I had a lot of fun working with the kids. Everything was done really well, and was very organized. It was a little tough, though, because it was from 6pm-9pm, so it made for a late evening for this pregnant mommy. Edgar would meet me at the church and take Eli home, so Eli got some great daddy time, which was nice. (I HAVE to get a video of Eli & Edgar singing 'There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly'...it's hilarious...)
Last week we also went to the Aquarium with Edgar's cousins, and Leilani & Isaac. It was fun as usual. The outdoor water area is always Eli's favorite, but it has been SO hot here, that after an hour, I was done, so we headed for home around 1.

I had a dr. appointment last week as well. I'm to the point where I have to go every 2 weeks now-this pregnancy is flying by! Everything looked good. I was at 30 weeks, and measured 31 cm, so I'm right on track. I think I have another ultrasound in a couple of weeks too...it's always fun to see the still unnamed baby.

Yesterday we went to the movies and watched the Veggie Tales movie 'Jonah'. Some of the theaters around here show kids movies for free in the summer, so we went. Eli loved it-he's on a Veggie Tales kick right now. When Bob came on the screen he yelled out 'BOB!'. It was very cute. After the movie one of his friends came over to play, so he had a very fun day yesterday :)

I'm trying to think of what else we've been up to...I'm sure there's more-surely I can't be this tired if this is all we've been doing :)
Today we have been laying low. Yesterday I was having a LOT of Braxton-Hicks contractions (some of them somewhat painful) so Edgar instructed me not to do anything today :) You really shouldn't tell me that-I'll take you quite seriously and sit on the couch all day. Eli has been playing so good today. We've read (a lot of) books, and he has been playing in his little corner all morning. He has gotten a few toys out, as you can see here:

but I'm not going to complain. (Actually, since this picture was taken, the toy amount has nearly doubled...I wonder where he gets messiness from?...) I've been looking online for different things for him, so maybe he knows I'm looking at toys, and wants me to be undistracted...He ate a huge lunch and is about to settle down for a nap.

I will leave you with one more video of Eli showing off some of his new words. His new favorite word/food is yogurt...or 'yo-guck' as he likes to call it. He asks for it at every meal...and in between meals...I guess it's better than 'cookie' (which he can also say :) )
