Hi! I know, it's a little 'unconventional' to be 'blogging' on a Tuesday, but you know my Mommy, she was in one of those moods! I have to tell you, this is DEFINITELY the best spot in the house. I get to play with my cool toy from my cousin Emily and watch and hear the waterfall!
Here I am waiting for Grandma and Grandpa to take me for a walk...they came to play with me while Joan celebrates her birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOAN! Well, I'm off to go explore...see ya on the weekend! xo Baby 'E'

AAAAH! I love a morning 'cruise' around my playpen.

Almost as much as practicing my voice!

There's nothing like 'going after' my kitties though!! I'll catch them one day!


Daddy is putting up the security gate for the top of the stairs...

Dude! We were so busy today, we didn't take many photos, but we had fun visiting the Depoorters! Auntie Cheryl was lovin' on me and my cool cuz' Evan and my pretty cuz' Emily. I really wanted to play with all their animals, but they run away from me! Then, we went to the Wilkersons BBQ. Mommy fed me lunch on the way there and I think it made me tierd...because I fell asleep. Well, we went in and I got to see Jennifer C, Jennifer W, Dana from last weekend and Melissa! They all held me. I really started getting tierd, so we left and I slept all the way home. When I woke from my nap, Mommy put me in my 'swimmer and we had FUN in the pool, about 5:00. There was another kid named Eli whom I met. He lives three houses away from us! The big kids were nice to me. When we got home, I played some more...here I am in my jacket, over my 'swimmer' ...I'll see you all tomorrow. Daddy will be with me all day!! YEAH! I love Sunday.

Here is the Eliot Comando Crawl...man, can I get some speed!! I crawled to my Mommy's knees... she loves when I do that! Then I crawled to my books... Crawled to my walker .... yeah....then Mommy put me in it outside! LOOK WHAT I FOUND! This is soooo cool! check out those antlers! I think I should taste them COOL!

ok, it's dinner time! Then bath time! This is what I do the whole time my Mommy gives me a bath.
It makes her laugh for some reason. It's easier to clean me, but she is afraid of me falling and hitting my head, so she ends up making me sit down...no fun...until she gives me my toys!!! That is what I am looking at right now...There is a toy net in my bathtub...it hangs on the wall...

I'm so excited! I get to see Auntie Cheryl tomorrow (it's been 3 weeks!!) and if I don't fall asleep, a BBQ at Jennifer and Jeff's house...to meet more of my Mommy's friends from work.

I'M EIGHT MONTHS OLD TODAY!
Here is my Mommy at 8 months too with my Grandma at 24!
Then Mommy at 34!!
WHAT A DIFFERENCE! Here is my Mommy in a 'playpen' 38 years ago! You'll also see other photos of my Mommy at 8 months... This one has the 'creepy' clown. People always say that I am a mix of my Mommy and Daddy...well, my huge size at 8 months is for sure similar to Mommy, oh and my hair...my Daddy has cool blue eyes, but my Mommy's 'bugged out'... (look at that funny 'walker' from the 'olden-days'). They both had 'poofy' cheeks, so that remains to be seen. I think I just look like ME.

I discovered another use for my piano! It helps me stand!! hmm, this could be me, except the color looks like a '60s' photo
HANG LOOSE! xo Mr. E
