Every year Spokane has a thing called "Pig out in the Park". It is a fun thing where different food venders come and live music is performed, etc. Basically an excuse to stuff your face with good food. We went with the Lavines, it was all of our first time. We rode the bus into town so we wouldn't have to worry about parking and it worked out awesome! The kids loved the ride. So, now we can say that we pigged out in the park.
When Eli was first starting to clap, he would just slap the tops of his hands really spastic like. He has now mastered the art of clapping and will clap whenever he thinks it is appropriate. He loves an audience!
Also, Eli has learned what sound the car makes and how to make the car go. He just figured it out one day. Definitely all boy!
At the end of August Cody's cousin Tate got married, so we went to Boise to be apart of the even. We are so happy for Tate and Kerry, they are a great couple. For some reason we don't have any pictures of Kerry, but she looked beautiful.
After the wedding we went to Cody's Aunt Christy's house and played Rock Band. It was so much fun. I had a hard time with the drums, but it was very entertaining to watch. ROCK ON!
We stayed with my brother Danny and his family for one night. It was Danny's birthday and he was having a party, so we crashed it. My cousin Reed and his wife came with their kids, I hadn't seen them for a long time. The kids all loved Eli.
Eli is a begger and wants whatever we are eating! He used to be content at letting us give things to him, but one day he wanted to do it himself, so we gave him the whole Popsicle. He devoured it!
One night we were at our friends house (Cade and Kellee) and Eli face planted on the floor and hit his lip. It started bleeding pretty bad and scared me, but it didn't last long. He was swollen for a few days, which was sad, but he is okay now.
There are just too many fun pictures and events to post, so here is my big posting of Eli for the month of August!
So, every time I change Eli's diaper he tries to get away. It is a full on wrestling match. He got away one time and started playing, he was free! I cropped the picture to save him the embarrassment when he is older, but you get the idea.
Swimming with Mommy and Daddy! Eli loves water and loves to splash.
The classic picture! He was so tired that he just passed out in his high chair! I have a picture like this from when I was a kid.
He loves to climb under the table and get caught up in the chairs. It is like an obstacle course for him. "Where did Eli go and what are these little legs doing here?"
He loves to be outside and occasionally likes to look out the window to the backyard when he can't be outside.
Our group of friends had a BBQ at the park for FHE on night. It was a lot of fun and Eli had a blast swinging on the swings! I couldn't resist so I joined in.
Scott and Janan gave us some of their kids baby toys, Eli loved this little kicker when he couldn't sit up because it made fun noises and it moved. Now that he is mobile he loves to climb inside of the hole and hit the trigger with the back of his legs to make it sing. It keeps him entertained forever!
