Star Wars

I was so excited to put this shirt on Eli and have it finally fit. He needed the light sabers for "training wheels" as he still needs help when sitting up. He looked a bit like a weeble wobble, although he still fell down a few times.

He couldn't decide if he wanted to be Mace Windu or Obi Wan Kenobi today.

Happy Father's Day

Kitchen

The kitchen is finally unpacked. It's not yet completely organized but I know where everything is now. We have our dining area set up with some area rugs under the table. Ben and I are messy enough. I can't imagine what the floor will look like with Eli eating at the table now.

Toy Basket

Just thought this was a fun picture. He's completely propped up by the basket and enthralled by seeing every toy at once.



I love that this basket came back with me from Ecuador 11 years ago and still going strong. We'll see what happens after a growing baby uses it for toy storage.

Bench

Ben made this bench last weekend. He's been wanting one for some time now to relax and enjoy the outdoors. Eli loves these little times outdoors with daddy.

Toys

Eli is getting very good at rolling. He'll roll to both sides now. He loves feeling the couch so this is one of his favorite places. He also loves just about any toy he's given. He loves his hammer and waves it around . Eventually he hits something with it.

Food

We started Eli on solids, beginning with avocados. We tried them for a few days but he didn't really take to them.



Tried bananas next. He seems to likes them better. He sounds like he's singing when he eats them. And by eating I really mean tasting. Over the course of three days he's consumed less than half a banana. And half of that ends up on the bib. I think the real reason he likes to eat is that he gets to wear the bib. It's in his mouth more often than the food is.

Eli's Room

Right now the house is full of boxes in every room, except for Eli's. First priority was to get his crib set up so his was the first room ready. His room was also the easiest as there were so few boxes to unpack. The rest of the house will take much longer. I'm going through each box as I unpack to sort through what we really need. We didn't get a chance to go through everything in the house before packing. There's still a lot of stuff we just don't need.



He's getting stronger while sitting up but still not able to do so on his own. I'm sure the day will come soon.
