Week 17 Bump

Feelin’ good. I have a doctors apt tomorrow.  Fingers crossed he will tell me the sex of this lil’ one! What’s your guess?  I’m thinking boy….carrying low and just like I did with Elliot.

Goodbye Golden Locks

I am both sad and happy about Elliot’s first haircut.  Sad to see the cute wispy curls go.  Sad because my little boy officially looks like an “almost 2 year old”…this hair cut took the baby look out of him :(  But happy because he looks so handsome! It was a challenge cutting little monster’s hair.  First, he wanted to help…with his toothbrush.  Secondly, his hair was so fine the clippers weren’t cutting it.  We had to move to a shorter clipper size (which terrified me) to actually cut some hair.  We ended up cutting off about 1 1/2”! In the end we all survived!

"Poo" and "Simming"

Elliot has recently discovered his LOVE for the "poo".  We get asked daily..."poo? Poo? Poo?"..unfortunately it's been cold here the past week.  Our last trip to the pool to go "simming" was a milestone! I happened to capture Elliot taking his first unassisted swim! He likes to climb over the edge instead of using the stairs.  In this video, he climbed in and took off! I am one proud mama!

We have done a lot of playing lately.  Jared's work schedule is awesome! He works half days on Wednesday and Friday, so we have taken advantage of his free time and get out and play when we can!  One of Elliot's joys in life is jumping.  He jumps on, over, and off of everything! He is also a runner.  Surprisingly this chunk of a boy is fast!




He may be pushing a stroller, but at least he's pushing a ball around :)



First taste of In and Out! I think he likes it!


14 week bump...small but there! Oh and yes! I got bangs! Shocker I know...if you know me, I haven't done anything new to my hair in...15 years?


Elliot is a big Dora the Exploror and Go Diego Go fan (cartoons on nick jr.).  So when the Discovery Cube had an interactive exhibit of Dora and Diego we took Elliot.  Our cheap selves even worked it so we could get in free :) (the first Sat of each month Bank of America card holders get in free!). Elliot had a blast playing in the exhibit.  We explored the whole discovery center which is set up with different themed interactive science experiements.  I even had a hard time pulling Jared away from the fun!


 This slide was Amazing! If you look closely it may appear that Elliot is terrified, but in reality he LOVED it!  He asked to do it again and then cried when it was time to leave. If I were rich this is the slide we would have in our backyard!

Easter

Easter morning started off with checking out what the Easter Bunny decided to leave behind.  Once Elliot figured out that the plastic eggs contained goodies, he quickly lost interest in the trinkets! We then proceeded with the festivities by coloring eggs.  This activity held Elliot’s attention much longer than we expected.  He decorated the eggs with a white crayon while Jared or I dyed them.  He then spent time decorating some with stickers.  Later, we went outside for an Easter egg hunt.  Again, once treats were found in the eggs it was hard to get him to put the egg in the basket and continuing hunting.  After nap we enjoyed a potluck dinner with several other couples in the complex!  It was a fun filled day!
