Haircut!

He got a haircut. I didn't want to get rid of his curls, but daddy was getting a haircut so Eli wanted one. He loved it! Jason had to keep pretending he was cutting his hair so he would be happy! I think he looks really cute with it cut. More like a little boy!

Always working on something.

Have you ever wondered what was in the little hole on your dishwasher door? So did Eli.

A Jason Haiku

Work at the VA

Still in school and studying

Ready to be done

(that's all he had time for, back to the books)

The weather has cooled for us here and Eli is loving the extra time outside. We are entering the busy holiday season of turkey, turkey, and more turkey. Seriously, how many Thanksgiving meals can you eat in a two week interval!! We're expecting a house full for Thanksgiving, and I am super excited. If you want to come too, you're invited.

15 months

33 1/4 inches tall...90th percentile!
26.14 pounds....heavy!

He's such a big healthy boy, I'm so excited. We just got back from some friends' wedding. It was just the best weekend, just too short.

I spent some time on the drive home thinking about how well we all got along after 2+ years without seeing most of them. But I also thought how sad it was that it wasn't the same. I mean, I know it can't be the same, and it is fun trying to figure out the new way our relationships will work, but sad that a chapter of my life is officially closed. College is over, but those people are a part of me, just in new ways.

Happy and sad.

Definately good.

Thanks for the picture Caitlyn!

Eli's Rules

Rule #1: Hats are to be worn only outside and purely at the discretion of me, Eli
Rule #2: If your parents are walking one way, walk the other
Rule #3: You are never to young for the terrible twos

He's so adorable in hats, but only keeps them on every so often. I can't believe how big he is getting and how irritating it is when he flops around on the floor whining because I don't let him eat dog food or whatever. He has also started imitating me, but only on certain things. He likes to walk up to the oven and say hot which is a great thing because he doesn't touch it. He also likes it when we have a conversation in high octaves at high decibels. His cousin, Madelyn, was here to play over the weekend and they had a growling conversation that turned into a giggle fest. I can't wait until I can post all the wonderful things he says to me!

When did this happen?
