In my Crib

I like hanging out in my crib. Now I can roll over and get up on my hands and knees. Whenever Dadeo is looking at me on the video monitor Mama asks what I'm doing. Lately Dadeo says, "She's tied the sheets together in knots and is climbing out of the crib." Little does he know exactly how close I am to actually doing that! From my Crib to yours... XOXO E.

Organic Shmorganic

I chew on everything these days... there's this bright pink, purple and checkered snail on my exersaucer (see my previous post)... not organic. Makes Mama crazy she even tried to hide it once. I was so happy when Dad found it and put it back. Anyway in the meantime, Mama has been sewing these kinda deformed "chew toys" out of left over material from my bumper pad. This is her attempt at a snail... I chew on it to make her happy.



This is me and my dolly, I had to take her down...
she was wearing the same outfit... soooo not cool.
Right?

Avocados... yummy!

I just decided today that I like avocados... this is because today is the first day I've ever had one. First my Mama washed the outside real good and gave me the whole thing to gnaw on... which I did. Then she cut it up and mashed it for me. And that was it.

Happy Easter!

This is me in my Easter bib with my prayer bunny. When you squeeze the bunny's belly she says, "Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep, may Angels watch me through the night and keep me in their blessed sight, Amen." She has a Southern accent which makes me smile when I hear her. My Mom wanted to get a video of me and my sister-in-law Jaffe hunting for Easter eggs, but she forgot to hide the eggs before my mother-in-law picked Jaffe up... oh well there is always next year! Instead we just played at the park.

P.S. I had a lot of blogging to catch up on today... scroll down for the new videos! XO ESM

Sweet Potatoes!

This is a video of my first taste of "food." I tried it... because these days I basically put everything into my mouth. I think I managed to spit out all the stuff that was on that spoon. I liked the spoon a lot. That was Saturday... they tried it again today and I wasn't having any of it on a spoon or in bottle. Mom said she thought the sweet potatoes were quite good, so maybe I'll get used to them. They said I have to try two more times and then I get an avocado... who knew it was a fruit! They grow in backyards in CA, but Mom had to buy this one from the store, I hope I like it(and so does Mom and Dad).

Elliot's New Bumper

Here I am lounging in my crib with a styling new bumper pad... talk about taking a village. My mom sent fabric to Grandma who made the bumper and then sent it back where my Gami sewed the ribbons on. We're a crafty bunch.

Laughing with Dadeo

This is me playing with my Dad, he's really good at getting a laugh out of me for the silliest little things. I love him. XO Munchkey... that's what he calls me. I think it's a cross between a munchkin and monkey... I have no idea what he is thinking... but it makes him happy.

I'm Walking!!!!

Wow... walking is a much better way to get around than having mom or Dad carry me. Mom misplaced the video camera cable so we can't upload the video yet... but trust me, it's awesome! In the meantime here are four of my monthly b-day pics, the last one taken last week on my 1/2 year b-day... look how I (and my hair) have grown!

Happy April!
