Playing Around

At the Park

Look at me!

It's rare to get a picture of Eli's face, I can't tell you how many pictures I have of the back of his head!

Baby Names

We decided on a first name early this time.
I seemed to be stuck on names that started with "L", first I wanted Lucie (but Ben hated it) then I wanted London (but Ben hated it).
We finally agreed on Lillian, and we'll call her Lilly.
We've been calling her by name for a few months now, and we think it fits.
Now we're having trouble deciding on a middle name, so tell us what you think!
You can vote, or suggest something new.

Causing Trouble

After many failed attempts to get Eli to "keep the sand in the box", I gave up. I decided there has to be somewhere Eli can play where there aren't so many rules. Plus it just takes too much energy to police him, and I just can't keep up! We let him do whatever he wants in the back yard (except put sand in the heat pump). So, here's Eli taking advantage of his freedom and dumping the sand table over completely. I might have tried to stop him, but there were only about 2 cups of sand left in the table anyways.

Yesterday, against Ben's better judgement, we bought more sand.
