Puzzle Play

Getting all the pieces out is easy and fun and fun to eat. We'll work on putting them back in the puzzle when he's older. Our job right now is to make sure we don't lose all the pieces. There's only 6 parts and we haven't lost any yet...but I did find one in Elijah's closet and one in the master bedroom.

Baby Teeth

Elijah is always climbing up to our couch. I've even caught him standing without support briefly at the couch after he's up. The best part of this picture? Those two bottom teeth!

"You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.' But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also." ~Matthew 5:38 & 39

Kitchen Drawer

We set up a special safe drawer in the kitchen for Elijah. It's full of safe things for him to play with (mainly bibs). All the items are easy for me to clean up his mess. Good deal for all of us! We really should put safety latches on the drawers/cabinets we don't want him getting into.

Memorial Day

My parents put up a slide in their backyard. Elijah wasn't sure what to think about sliding...he likes to ponder things for a while before deciding if he likes it or not. Grandma and Grandpa helped him down the first few times. I'm guessing he'll like it more when he's a little older.

"Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ..." ~Philippians 1:27a

In Mommy's Belly

One year ago I was about 6 months pregnant with Elijah. We're showing him a picture of him in my belly. He doesn't understand, but he loved hitting my keyboard. I think he managed to flip through four pictures before I was able to move his hand. Yes, baby, you were in my belly. Can't wait to answer all your questions about babies being in bellies! 

1st Swim

We put a kiddie pool in the backyard and took Elijah out for his first swim. He was unsure at first but began to crawl around and splash after a little while. Then he was most interested in the grass outside the pool. We had a good time with our pool toys, cold hose water, and monkey swimwear (thanks to my mom).

Who's That Baby?

Elijah is concentrating deeply on his toy...well...not really. He's looking at himself in the mirror. Yes, little one, you have blue eyes and they look at you when you look at them. Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the cutest of them all?
