Elliot plays soccer

He’s trying but it is sooooo hot!

The fan that sprays cool water has been a hit.

We went to Gingy’s last week for vacation. While there, we headed up to Murfresboro to go to Chuck E Cheese’s, which was surprisingly tolerable!

Also, mommy and daddy got to go to a movie afterwards! Uncle Art brought Elliot and Winston a giant bear, which Elliott promptly named “Gold.”

So far, Winston has been a very good baby and Elliot has been a very good toddler.

Climb Every Giant Horse

Elliot got to play with his Gingy and Grandpa this weekend!

Here he is showing off his climbing skills.

They went on a catamaran ride on Saturday. Elliot was king of the boat.

Then they went to Market Square to check out the water fountain!

And we’re back!

Sorry for the short hiatus.

Elliot tried out his slip and slide with mommy and daddy a couple of weeks ago.

He also had a bologna sandwich that he helped make.

“Bread, bologna, mustard, bread!”

Elliot and Logan have been going to The Muse Children’s Science Center since we have had several rainy days recently. Here is Elliot doing SCIENCE!

Happy 25 months :)

Do I get to keep doing this after you are 2 years old? I guess so! Recently, you have been asking Logan and me to sing “Rock a bye” but you want us to sing it like a cat. Your daddy deciphered your request of “Rock a baby kitty cat?”

Here is you and your cousins Bryce and Bella from this weekend.

You and daddy have been enjoying the nice weather this week.

You wore your sunglasses for me long enough to let me take a picture. I did catch you while you were saying “burger.”

Here you are doing some swimming today!

Mommy and daddy are still catching up.

Elliot has been saying “Great job!” lately, which is cute and encouraging!

Hard to believe!

Logan got out your jumping horse recently for Char Baby. You had to try it out again too!

The weather has finally been getting nice again, so Logan set up your water toys on the back porch. Lisa let you pick out a hat to wear, so you picked your daddy’s Titan’s hat!

You are fitting into your new pjs from Jeanie-bug!

Daddy took you to the zoo this week for the first time this season. The bears are the first exhibit, but Logan skipped them and took you to the elephants first, where you said “Bear.” Then he took you to the giraffes, where you said “Bear” again. So, he took you pack to the front of the museum so you could see the exhibits in order.

Here’s you and Strawberry watching “Thomas and Friends” this week!

We took you to the Hands on Science Center in Tullahoma this week! Daddy beat a Cheetah. You were a bug!

Here you are walking on in the woods with Gingy!

Funny story: Earlier this week you were looking at your spoon at dinner and trying to convey to us that the spoon was not a fork. You kept saying “Fork! no…” only the “Fork” didn’t sound like fork… Daddy and I thought that was pretty funny!

Out SHIDE!

Elliot finally got to spend some time outside this weekend! He got a little muddy, but it didn’t slow him down.

Also, we got to visit some of Logan’s family today at his Granny’s.

Baby Char was there too, looking fabulous!  It was great to see her (and her family)!
image

At one point, I was outshide the screen door with Elliot and Logan was on the other side with Charlotte. Logan handed me Charlotte while Elliot was horsing around my legs. Logan shut the screen door and Elliot’s fingers were questionably caught. Either way, Elliot screamed. And then Charlotte REALLY screamed! He scared her and I said to Logan, “Pick a child and start comforting!”
