New Car & New Words

The boys were very excited to watch their first football games of the season

I scored a great find at a kid's consignment sale yesterday. We've been looking for some 'new' outside riding toys for Eli, and I found just what I was looking for for $5.00. Definitely the best $5 I've spent in quite some time ;) To say that he loves his new car would be the understatement of the year. If he's not eating or sleeping, then you can find him in his car. We lost track of counting how many times he's gotten out of the car, just to get right back in. Too cute!


If he becomes an agressive driver like his father, then this will become an outside only toy ;) It's just too hot to stay outside for hours right now.

We've had so much fun the past few weeks as Eli's vocabulary is starting to grow. He's really starting to repeat more words, but he's also using more of his new words without being prompted to. His favorite words right now are cracker, car and cheeeese. Cheese is by far the funniest pronounced word. He also says: more, duck, grape, banana, dog, nana, and cat. He still says dada WAY more than mama...and now thinks it's funny. We're excited to see his little personality come out even more as he begins to communicate better.

He finally let me put his sunglasses on him this week. He always liked to play with them but hated the feeling of having them on his face. Maybe it's because they aren't the most attractive of sunglasses. They were free..what can you expect?!

I'm growing SO impatient while waiting for the fall weather to arrive. I just couldn't be more ready. We also just found out that we'll be spending Thanksgiving in Texas with my mom and Tom! We'll be purchasing tickets this week, and a new countdown will begin! Not sure that I'm all too excited about flying with Eli for the first time, but I'm hoping that he'll surprise us. So much to look forward to, and even more to be Thankful for.
