In Pictures

Ok so the last month has been a bit busy for us. We have been spending a lot of our time down in RR because I was asked to do some photo shoots for some Seniors. It has been great spending so much time with my family but I am happy to be home (for a while a week or two). I was going to write a huge post but decided I will do minimal writing and just highlight the some key stuff. (These are only a few photos of what's been happening, I still have some on my laptop that need to be transferred to my desktop) but I figured there were plenty of pics here! E has his 9 month check up tomorrow so I will be updating his stats then, and some other stuff.

Besides Mark & I, there is no one in this word that loves this child as much as these two people do! Eli is so incredibly blessed to have such a wonderful Tata & Nana. He is so happy when he sees them and immediately stretches his arms so they can hold him. He gives them tons of "besos" and hugs!

We spent Easter down at my parents. They usually come up here and our entire family does something together however since it was Eli's first Easter, we wanted it to be a little more intimate so we decided to do it at my parents house. Well, let's just say that with a Mexican family it was anything but intimate, we had about 30 people over! My mom's aunt came over and brought this for Eli. As you can see he was not a happy bunny!

We could not get him to smile at all

Eli also went on his first Easter Egg hunt! He loved it and by the end he understood the eggs went in his monkey! He would put them in then take them out look at me and smile!

Here he is with his buddies Will and Kaylee

Eli has also gone to several Birthday parties, here he is at Sophie's enjoying a spoon he stole from mommy that had some chocolate moose on it!

As you can tell, he loved it!

He didn't just eat moose though, we figured we should give him something healthy and gave him a slice of mango that he gummed on for about a half hour! Eli gave some to Kaylee and she loved it!

Here he is at Kaylee's first birthday! He is such the ladies man, he was the only boy there! But that's ok, he likes having 7 little ladies all to himself!

Here he is just after taking a toy from Anahi

We also took him to the Desert Botanical Garden for the first time. He wasn't too into anything other than the people and his sippy cup! He left his hat on for about half an hour and then we couldn't get it back on! Ohh well.

Here he is at infant reading! He loved the bubbles, and so did I, they are awesome, they don't pop and will stick to the ground for a long time so babies are able to play with them!

He is definitely a little bully at this point. He thinks anything he sees is his and wants it. He was not being nice to Olivia today and was taking the block she was playing with. We are going to have to work on sharing.

Today some mommies and I took the babies to a splash area at one of our local malls. He wasn't so sure about the water at first and then he loved it.

Again, I have tons more pics, and more info about what's been going on but to tell you the truth I have not been feeling well lately. For the last month and a half I have been going to bed with headaches and have been having some occasional dizzy spells which is another reason why I have been slacking on the updating. Sometimes I just want to go to bed. Not to mention that life and poor theething babies also gets in the way from a good sleep. :) But anyway, that will be for another post. :) But don't worry all is good, Mark and I are doing great, he is still working away, Eli is growing like a weed and changes daily. Eddie no longer has a buddy to play with so we are thinking of possibly going to the humane society to get him a friend since he got so attached to my sisters dog. I have been maintaining myself busy with my husband and our son and photo stuff. God is good to us, life is life... sometimes wonderful and great, sometimes not.
