Road Trip

Eli and I went to Dallas this week to visit my family, and we had lots of fun! Eli is learning so many words these days that I had to write them down while we were there. He's learned about 10 words and 3 signs since Monday when we got there. Here are some pictures of our trip. It was so fun to spend time with family. I wish we lived closer so we could see each other more!

This is bathtime with cousins Grayson and Garrett. They had lots of fun being boys and sticking their faces in the water and blowing bubbles for Eli. Eli even said "buh buh".




Eli wanted to go in the pool, but quickly discovered that he did not like the cold water! Grandpa was a sport and got in with the boys. Eli said "ba" for splash, or he might have been trying to say pool, I couldn't quite tell. He would point or look at the pool and say it, so he had the association. Watching his cousins splash in the pool was lots of fun for Eli!


We also took a trip to the Owens farm and saw lots of animals. We fed the goats, sheep, ducks, and longhorn. Eli loved the goats and was laughing at them. We also got to go on a hayride that was pulled by a tractor. Eli was amazed by the tractor the whole ride. We also got to see turkeys, chickens and horses. Eli said two new words at the farm: duck and tractor. Too cute! Unfortunately, I forgot my camera, so I don't have pictures right now. My sister took some, so I'll post those later.

Once again, wonderful pictures. I love the one of Eli and your Dad. And Grayson & Garrett look so brown! It's still chilly enough up here in Montana that most people are pretty pale. We can hardly wait to hear Eli talk -- that's such a fun time in a little person's life.
