Fun with the Grandparents

We've been having a blast with the grandparents & great-grandparents this week. It's so fun to watch Eli interact with them. He learned some really fun things this week too! He now tries to say 'Pop-pop,' but he looks like an old man without his dentures while doing it! He tucks his bottome lip way in, and starts mouthing it...just like his pop-pop taught him! He also started doing several animal sounds this week. He knows what a cow & lamb say, and will do a few others with encouragement.

We spent some time outside checking out the beautiful Azaleas. Could have made for some pretty cute pictures, but we all know that would require him to sit or stand still for a second...not happening!



We celebrated my birthday with everyone last night, and I'm sure that Eli thought the celebration was for him. With our birthdays only being a few weeks apart, he'll always get to practice before his big day! He helped me blow out my candle, and got his first taste of ice cream from his GG. Not only did he love it, but he would do a little dance in front of her everytime he was ready for more.



He sat and read a few books at Nana's table

And sat some more after nearly busting his head half open. He received his worst shiner to date last night. However, I'm sure this one will be topped sometime in the near future.

He's pretty black & blue today...but as always, doesn't seem to care!

Here are a few fun videos from last night! Nana had Eli doing all kinds of hysterical dance moves and he even learned the twist!

We have a fun weekend planned for my birthday, and couldn't be any more thankful for this beautiful weather! Eli will spend the afternoon and evening at Nana & Pop-pop's so that we can head out to the Heritage. My birthday always falls on the weekend of the Heritage, so I'm thinking that this will become some sort of tradition.
