Winter weather?

It's hard to get into a Christmas decorating mood when it's 80 degrees outside! We went for a walk today wearing short sleeves in November! The weather man says a very cold front is coming early tomorrow morning, and there's a freeze warning. I can't wait. I guess I'll decorate tomorrow!

Jumping Away

Eli is really getting active, and he's not even crawling yet! He has been really enjoying his jumper. At first, he barely jumped in it, but now he acts like he's going to take off (as you see in the second video). He likes to jump, like when you hold him or when he's in his exersaucer, which isn't really made for that much jumping. In fact, I have to strap him in tight when I put him in most things because he tries to escape! We've had to say bye bye to the swing and the Bumbo for that reason. He also scoots and rolls on the floor and is into everything...just very curious. He's also saying dada now in addition to baba and mama. I can't wait when he looks at me and calls me Mama! In the first video you can hear him say dadada. Sorry, but I had to include the last video...it's just too funny!

Oh, and Eli will be 7 months old tomorrow! By my measurements, he's about 22 lbs. and 29 inches long! Wow!

Halloween

Eli had fun on his first Halloween. He was a frog, of coarse...I figured I should pick the costume of my choice while I can! We went trick-or-treating to a few neighbors houses, and we also had friends over. Eli was a hit with the trick-or-treaters at the door. I love these pictures! Eli actually looks small next to the pumpkin!
