Curious George!

I think he's a little dazed surrounded by this many girls!

He was very proud of himself for getting up there all on his own.

This is one of his favorite cupboards, mostly because the metals bowls make a ton of noise and he can bang them around as much as he wants.

Mommies measuring cups and pots taste pretty yummy!

He was trying to take the vacuum apart, then he got a hold of the water bottle which he loves!

Snow Days cont...

These three trekked around in the snow, aren't they cute!

Someone loves his Aunti!

Having a Christmas tree up was like putting a huge ice cream cone in the middle of the floor and telling Eli not to touch it! Who knows how many pine needles this guy ingested.

Mr. Silly pants!!

The boys having another one of their deep conversations.

Snow Days!

Sorry everyone I'm still way behind on updating! Anyway this is the week of Christmas that Matt was here Dec 17th- Dec 27th we had crazy snow the whole time. Poor Matt was stuck in the house but Elli definitely enjoyed having his Uncle around.

I know I'm biased but he's absolutely adorable!

This is right before he does a face plant in the snow, he was trying to taste it and ended up getting a face full. Needless to say he was not to happy.

By this time he was ready to go back inside were it was warm.

This was the most snow Portland had seen in about 4o years! It was lots of fun especially for Autumn and Matt.

Eli's First Christmas!

Not to fond of the Santa hat

We're in trouble now!

We're trying to talk Matt into babysitting for the weekend!

This was the beginning of Eli's first big snow storm and the most snow Portland has seen in 40 years.

Playtime!

At 9 months he's already trying to escape!

It might have something to do with mommy making me wear these crazy leg warmers.

What daddy has Eli wants!

Eli and his buddy Elliot trying to decide who's the tallest.

Now who do you think is the Boss!

He finally figured out how to open the cupboard, now we're in trouble!

No toys are as fun as the one's in mommy's kitchen.

His first taste of blueberries...

Everyone has a full tummy after all that turkey!

Still absorbed with their phones 30 minutes later.

Trying to Catch Up!!

This is one of Eli's favorite things to do with Daddy at 8 months he growing like a weed!

As you can tell he loves cellphones but only the real ones.

Our child is a genius he can read upside down!

And play the piano!

This was Eli's first introduction to the game of golf, so far he thinks its pretty tasty.
